Hello,
Could someone please help me trace the travels of Lars Olson (Olsen) Tveito, b. 4 Sep 1862. d. 1938 in Norway.
The Aal Bygdebok (Year 1856, #6) contains the following regarding Lars:
quote:
Lars Olson Tveito hadde vore 6 turar over Atlanteren. Han reiste til Am. i 1882 18 år gamal (stemmer nesten), kom heim att 1887- ut att neste år, heim att i 1896, ut att 1897 via Stockholm - London - Am. Han kom heim att for godt i 1899. På dette viset hadde han lagt seg opp sine 7000 kr "saa nu kan han leve rolig.
A letter from Kenneth Holte (his father Knute O Holte, Lars' brother) says that Lars' traveled to the states with sisters Astri, Guri and brother Knute.
I have not found an emigration date for Guri, but she was in Iowa in 1870. She's listed as Guri O Skrattegaard in the US Census. Assuming she traveled as Guri Olsen (Olson). The family moved to Traill, Dakota Territory from Iowa. Guri passed in 1880, Traill, Dakota Territory. Her dob is 4 Oct 1846 in Tveito, Aal.
Guri's mother in law, Ingrid Larsdtr Skrattegaard emigrated in 1881 to care for the children in Mayville, Traill, ND. It's possible that Lar's traveled with Ingrid. Ingrid's dob is 16 Sep 1853 in Skrattegarden nordre, Aal.
According to US census, Astri Olsdtr Tveito emigrated in 1885. She's listed in the 1885 Dakota Territory census as "Astrid Olsen;" a servant in Traill County. The name Astri Olsen Tvete was used on her childrens death certs. Her dob is 23 Sep 1858 in Tveito, Aal.
Knute has an emigration date of 1893 -- Eden Valley, Renville, ND or Sherwood, Renville, ND. dob 16 Sep 1866 in Tveito, Aal.
I'd be interesting to know if he did travel with all three siblings.
Thanks in advance.

Lars, Guri and a child Ole emigrated in 1882, see
#48579
Very doubtful if this is right persons! Have to do more checking. |

Thanks eibache.
I have seen this record before, but it didn't match up with the information that I have. Guri did have a son named Ole, but he was born in 1873 according to the bygdebok. US census indicates that he was born in Iowa. Perhaps 10m was supposed to be 10 yrs? It's said that she passed in 1880 -- interesting. If this is her, she apparently didn't.

Then this is likely Lars in 1900 US Census. The data would indicate that he has been married for 14 years. If accurate then Guri would have been dead by 1886.

Oslo 1870.
Lars Larsen Skrattegaard left on ship Anna Delius for Quebeck.
Could this be Guri age 24 leaving from farm Hauge in Skedsmo on ship Edda for Milwaukee?

Lyndal, the census records do belong to my Guri (and her husband (Lars Larsen), who married into my family). After Guri passed, he married Anna. He's also shown in the US 1910 census with her. Lars Larsen died in 1916 due to an accident involving a threshing machine.
Thanks for the information Kåre! The Guri leaving from Hauge is likely Lars Larsen's sister. Lars Larsen and family were born in Hauge -- later moved to Skrattegard. It's possible that your suggestion is my Guri. The Larsen family were from Hauge.
Guri's brother, Lars Olsen, made 6 trips across the Atlantic. I figured that he would be the easiest to find. His travels would require a passport yes?

I agree, since he crossed the Atlantic 6 times before he settled down home in Norway 1899 with 7000 kroner (1000 Dollar). He should have left many tracks.
The family lived on Grinden in 1865.
Guri worked another place.
It must be her working as a servantgirl on Hauger in Skedsmo in 1865, only a BUT:
her age don´t corespond, but that wasnt unusual.

I bet that is correct, Kåre. I ordered the Skedsmo bygdeboks today. Do you think that it would contain info to confirm?
Yes, Grinden is the farm that Guri, Astri and Knute's brother Sevat bought. I haven't found Astri in the 1880 US census, so I assume that she emigrated in between 1880-1885.
Was the voyage via Stockholm - London - USA possible? I understand that few ships left Stockholm - Hull -train- Liverpool - USA, but London?
Also, would you mind translating this for me? When I try to translate it using various online tools, it appears out of context.
quote:
Anne bar med seg eiga si i ei tine då ho reiste frå Ål for å få seg tenest. I 1865 tente Anne på nordre Flåten i Modum. Anne hadde sonen Erik Colban 1870- til Am. , (ukjent far).

It reads as follows:
Anne carried her belongings in a wooden box with lid when she left Ål to get work. Anne worked on northern Flåten in Modum in 1865. Anne had the son Eric Colban- to Amerika (unknown father) |

I don't know if this is important to you but this quote:
Her dob is 4 Oct 1846 in Tveito, Aal.
is a little bit off, see the baptismal record #33 and the confirmation record #27
born April 10 and bapt April 26 1846.

Thanks eibache! The bit about Anne makes sense now. When I initially translated it, she was "screaming with her voice" I thought, "no, that can't be right."
Having trouble with the #33 link. It reads 12-21. It appears to be a marriage record. #27 is for Lars Olsen then? Just want to confirm.
Kåre,
This is great! I wonder who was in Larimore, ND. His siblings were further south. Interesting. If he left for Mayville in 1899, I wonder if he settled instead of going back to Norway.

In the 1885 Dakota Territory Census, it says:
Tvete, Lars O.
Age: 24
Occupation: Farmer
Nativity: Norway
County: LaMoure (which must have been "Larimore," although there is a Larimore, ND)
Interesting. |
