Erik,
Thank you. I am always surprised how often Norwegians went back to Norway. My grandfather was a barber and would work his passage by barbering as a crew member. His siblings and cousins constantly went back for visits. To my knowledge, none of my other ancestors from Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Ireland ever went back to Europe. |

Hi Roy, you are welcome. Thank JC for her digligent efforts!
I wanted to discuss with you another point that we have touched on in the past, and that is why did Fredrik and Anna Reese leave Denmark and move to Norway?
What I found interesting is that the family was living in northern Jutland in 1864 when the Second Schlewig War broke out and during the War the Prussian army occupied virtually ALL of Jutland peninsula.
Denmark had therefore lost its mainland and they risked losing their islands as well. They had no choice but to surrender and the defeat was a bitter and traumatizing event for the Danes, who lost a great many lives and alot of rich territory. Anti-German sentiment as a result was high. Could this have affected Fredrik’s (German speaking from Kiel) business and the family’s economic welfare?
Regarding our thoughts that the changing national boundaries due to the War caused the official records of the three children born in Denmark (census/ birth etc). to be at odds with each other.....as sometimes they would indicated Danish backgrounds and others German.
In fact, all of the children were born in territory that remained part of Denmark after the Treaty of Vienna was signed in 1864. At no time where they born in territory that became part of the Prussian empire.

Eric,
Perhaps some of the Reese contacts we make will have an idea of why they left Denmark.
Your comment about anti-German sentiments reminds me that a few years ago, I put out a request on the Norway mailing list for information about my grandfather Arthur Karl Schønemann. A woman answered me asking why I was inquiring about a German on the Norway list. I responded that he was born in Kristiana so didn't that make him Norwegian? She answered (with some heat) that she didn't care where he was born, he was a GERMAN! I got the point.

Roy,
That is very telling....and perhaps why in the 1865 census...with the defeat of Denmark still very fresh in Scandanavian minds.....that they may have told the Census Taker they were all Danish (from Denmark) just out of convenience?
Just a thought. Who knows....it is all purely speculation but interesting to think about.

Hi Roy,
I knew that name Albert Hagen sounded familiar....
He was the "best man" for August Dahl when he married Louise Reese. He is listed in the marriage register, which was posted earlier. |

Thank you Jan Peter and Kare
I think we will need some of your expertise. because I am stuck with the resources I have access to. Do you have access to additional tools to help identify what ever became of the following individuals.
I am looking for any possible living ancestors of this branch of the family. This family is living in Trondheim in 1900 and 1910 Norwegian Census information.
Albert Hagen b. October-5-1871
Laurine Mathilde Stephanine Reese b. May 30, 1873
Astrid Hagen b. June 20, 1895 (USA)
Sigrid Hagen b. October 25, 1897
Borghild Hagen b. December 10, 1903
Anna Hagen b . November 25, 1905
Fredrik Hagen b. February 25, 1907
thank you. |

Need time to search search for the Hagen family.
The two seamstress sisters Thea (Thea Gunhilde) and Kasbara (Kaspara Sofie) were perhaps Albert Hagen´s nieces or sisters.
Thea b. Aug. 27. 1876 and Kaspara b. April 4. 1880, both bap in Vår Frue church Trondheim,
Parents Thrond (Nicolaisen) Hagen and Ingeborg Andersdatter.
Both Trond and Albert Hagen occ. "Maler" Painter, both born in Trondheim.
Thrond and Ingeborg Hagen born in Orkdal lived in Namsos town 1900 with a daughter Nikoline Anette born in Vesterålen
