I was hoping maybe you or another researcher could translate what is written after the name of the father, Theodor Andreas Helgesen. I am wondering if there is anything significant in the text.
- if I read you right an answer to your question is still missing.
Fredrik Theodor was a child born out of wedlock since he was born before the parents were married, Sept 12 1894. His father Theodor Andreas Helgesen was at the time of the baptism a mechanical worker at the railway workshop in Sulitjelma (where there was a mining industry). The mother was Lovise Marie née Reese, daughter of Fredrik Wilhelm Reese.
Lovise Helgesen was a widow living with her father and son Fredrik in 1900

Hi Kåre

Here is the civil marriage record for Lovise Reese and Theodore Helgesen ....#28 (Civil Marriage Record) ....

Does the text give any additional information on Theodore Helgesen? Eibach was able to determine that he was working in a mine in Nordland about this time. Is that where he is from originally I wonder?

Erik.

Thank you.

Erik

thank you Eibache, I have been doing some research on these people, it appears that Lovise's mother was from Sjaelland and her father was from Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein.

Question: What does Sømand mean in terms of an occupation?

Hi.
They both lived in Nedre Baklandet ,Trondheim in 1900, Fredrik was born in Kiel Germany.
Sophie was born in Sjeland. Could be a countryside in Vestfold County.
Fredrik was blind from 189?, her run his own business occ: "Sukkerbaker" Sugar baker? Confectioner?, so perhaps they both died in Trondheim, see here

Lovise Helgesen was a widow living with her son Fredrik.

Any suggestions when or where they died Einar?

To all concerned:

To All:

For the record, Theodor and Lovise (Reese) Helgesen had another son named Knut Martin.

He was born on July 2nd, 1895 ,,,,no. 210
He died on July 6th, 1900 ...no. 82

This confirms the family history that there were two (2) boys but they both did not die at the same time.

Could not find any death records Erik.

Anne Sophie was from Sjeland, Sjælland in Denmark.
She and Fredrik Wilhelm came to Norway before 1865 with two children, Anna Kirstine and Mack Ditlef born in Denmark.
Fredrik Wilhelm reese is wrongfully registerd as born in Denmark . Occ. "Droppps Fabrikant" Candy Manufcturer. They lived in "Reberbanen" Ropewalk street here

Fuglebjerg was separated from Sorø County 1970.

From the same records: Ane Kirstine Reese b. in Fuglebjerg April 23. 1859 to Fredrik Wilhelm Reese and Ane Sophie Larsen.

Fuglebjerg church from about 1370.
