Marie was the younger sister of Frederikke Olava Olsen.
Olava's sisters Karen and Caroline emigrated to New Zealand in the 1870s. Caroline passed away in November 1896, shortly after marrying Emil Pasche (also from Norway).
A family photo has Olava and two of her sisters, one of which is Karen and we had though that the other one was Caroline, but as the photo was taken c1904 this could not be the case. We have not been able to track down any arrival of Marie in NZ so suspect she may have been married when she arrived here.
Can anyone find if Marie was married in Norway and if so who to so we can then do further reseach at this end.
Also we think their brother Hans Jacob Olsen may have emigrated here but again have not been able to track down his arrival - are there emigration erecords for those coming to NZ?
Regards to all of you very expert researchers

Hans Jacob Olsen definitely came to NZ where he married Annie Jane Keane from whom he was later divorced on the grounds of his misdemeamours with a married lady.
It seems most likely that Marie was also here in NZ and is in the family picnic photo.
I have not been able to track down her arrival in NZ, Are there shipping records of emigrants from Norway which might indicate her date and ship of departure.
Regards

Thanks very much for that information.
Of this family, Karen Kristine; Frederikke Olava, Caroline and Hans Jacob all came to New Zealand at different times, marrying here in NZ.
A photo we have has Olava with two of her sisters among a family group (probably including their husbands) which also included Olava's sone Emil and daughter Olive.
As Caroline died in 1876 (within a year of her arrival) she is not in the photo so this only leaves Marie.
Did she marry in Norway (or elswewhere) before coming to NZ or did she arrive here using someother family name? (The others all came as Olsen)
If she did come to NZ - when did she leave Norway and on what ship.
Any help would be very much appreciated

You can search the emigration archives on the Digitalarkivet website. Since her sister left from Kristiania (Oslo) you'll want to check the two databases offered for that port city.
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/DigitalArchives.html
If she married you'll need to determine which church may have recorded that event. Almost all of the records for the various churches, parishes and congregations are available online for your use.
The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005.
The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].
Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -

You've chosen a large task for yourself. Good luck. |
