hiya~
I am trying to find out info on my great grandfather his name is John R Kloster he was born feb 1860 in norway.
I only found this out through doing family tree research the only info I have on him is through a 1900 US census for Covington, Dakota, Nebraska. No other info is showing up on him
I have no idea where in Norway he was born or anything my grandmother never talked about her family |

Have you determined if John R. Kloster is related to the other Norway born Kloster named man that appears in that same census in the same community and county?
How unfortunate that census taker didn't bother to complete the columns for 'citizenship' including year of immigration. That would probably have been VERY useful information.

| I think you'll find the same John listed with the last name spelled as 'Closter' in 1880 US census of Plymouth Co. Iowa. His father is listed as 'Louis Closter' and the birthplaces of the various children would indicate that the family immigrated to the US sometime between 1865 and 1877. |

Hi Jillian,
You will want to try the search engine at this website to find Lars Kloster and his family's ship. On the Undine in 1871. Certainly is the same family as in the 1865 census--father has the same occupation as "tinner", tin man or tinsmith.

Hi Jillian,
Now you're cookin'!
Here is the address for the Canadian online archives. For some reason when I just went there the page was down. But when its running again you will be able to check to see if the arrival in Quebec records are available for online viewing of the Undine.

Good Luck!

Lars Kloster was born on an island named Rennesøy north of Stavanger town in Rogaland, you will also find Sand north east in the county.
Kloster, the familyname, is coming from Utstein Kloster, a sub parish and monestery in Finnøy parish.
Kloster means monastery/abbey.
The records for Rennesøy, "Folketellinger og mantall" down page are the censuses.
Ane M. Olsdatter was born in Hetland (Frue) in Stavanger.
The records for Frue sub parish and church.

Thanks Karto~
for these links
I am not to sure what census to look up on the Rennesy, "Folketellinger og mantall" or the Frue
as Lars Kloster was born 1835 and Ane M. Olsdatter was born 1832 |

Lars born Dec. 14. was christened in Kloster church in Kloster Abbey on Dec. 18 as Lars Rolandsen. Parents: Roland Rolandsen and Inger Johnsdatter. Hard to read the name of the place or the farm exept Kloster, it looks like it ends ....mandsfjorden Kloster.
