Birthe Olesen travelled on the Ruapehu to NZ in 1887 with her 5 children. Her husband Christian Andricksen was supposedly already in New Zealand, but I can find no record relating to his arrival. Birthe travelled under her single name. According to family legend, he did not meet their ship and was never found. I would be grateful for any hints on where to look. Is anyone researching the following families in New Zealand.
Olesen, Andricksen, Larsen, Vollheim. |

Fuglerud, bottom page has information about Berte and her family on Fuglerudenga, a sub farm under Fuglerud.....about 1860 Ole Knutsen Saga-Horn 1817-1885 married to Berte Johanne Borgersdatter born about 1820, she died 1865, settled down on the farm. Children: Berte (married to Andreas Christiansen Syllingeie), Knut, Johan, Hans, Andreas, ingeborb, Marie.
Ole settled down on Syllingeie within 1875.
Syllingeie was a sub farm under Vestre Sylling named Kyllerud (Andreas married as Andreas Christiansen Kyllerud in 1870), down page about 90%.
A summary:
......."det var vistnok pċ" it was on Kyllerud (Syllingeie) Andreas Christensen born 1849 on Runsevoll under Hĝrte (Hĝrteeie) settled down about 1871. Children: Karen Johanne, Olava, Anette, Ole, Kristen. In 1881 the family emigrated to Queensland Australia (wrong information).

Many, many thanks Kaarto for your response to my enquiry.
I have only just found it while "Googling" Christian Andricksen, so my apologies for not getting back to you sooner!!
I wondered why Birthe travelled under her "maiden" name. Would she have done that because she was widowed? They were all schooled and married in N.Z. under the name of Andricksen.

| Thank you for that information. I didn't realise they didn't change their name. Her children all went under Andricksen in N.Z. and she was buried using the name Andricksen. |

Gayle and Kare
I am a decendant of Birthe Andricksen and can't thank you enough for posting this information. My siblings and I have tried to find more information but always hit a dead end. This is now more than we have ever known. From your experience how difficult would it now be to trace decendants in Norway?
Gayle are we possibly related somehow? I assume this is why you have been researching?

Peter, click on Gayle and send her a short message.
Let´s hope relatives in Norway find this forum, I have searched for family trees in varius spellings without any luck.
Meanwhile I can bring you Lier municipality, your folks came from Sylling sub parish in the south-eastern part of Lake Tyrifjorden, see map for Buskerud County abowe, and the church ceremonies was taken place in Sylling church build 1852.

Hi Peter,
I am happy for you, its a small world.
I have been reading and seen from pictures that coming to southern New Zealand for a Norwegian is like coming home.
From June to November we import a lot of Kiwifruit from N.Z, taste delicious.
Much of the fruit and vegetables in Norway comes from Lier, driving through Lier valley a vinter night, its almost lightened up by all the greenhouses, it looks beautiful.
Don´t be afraid to ask if you have some questions.
Have a wondeful Easter.

Hi Kare,
I have just found locally a reference to Birthe's arrival in NZ where it states Occupation or Calling - "To Husband." I also found the marriage announcement of my Grandmother Olava where it is stated she is the daughter of Christian Andricksen. This was in 1902. Both of these entries imply that the Father was still alive. The entry you found where it said Birthe was a widow- is it possible there had been a separation and that she said "widowed" to "save face"? |

That make more sence Gayle and correspond with the information you gave in the first posting.
There could be many reasons for that Christopher did not show up in NZ 1887, or because she emigrated as a widow. Letters could have dissapeared, questions from neighbors etc.
Berte Olsdatter seems to have been a strong and determined woman taking her children with her to the opposite part of the globe.

LOST: Birthe Olesen and Christian Andricksen
