My name is John Tallacksen Jr. I'm looking for family currently living in Norway or other places in the world outside of the U.S.
I would also like to see if it is possible for my family to be related to WWII hero Edvard Tallaksen (1918-1944) or any Tallaksens for that matter.
I do know that my family comes from Kristiansand, Norway. My great great great grandfather's name was Bernt Tallacksen, and his wife was Oleana Andrea "Lena" Tallacksen. After Bernt and two of their children died, Oleana took most or maybe all of the remaining children and left Norway for the U.S. Somewhere along the way it appears that she remarried to a man named Jacob Adolf Juul. Since then, my family has lived in the U.S.- mostly outside of Chicago, IL. It is possible that one of Bernt and Oleana Andrea's children stayed in Norway, and never moved to the U.S.
If you know any Tallacksens in Norway or anywhere please let me know. If you are a Tallacksen, and we don't know each other, please get in touch with me.

The more information you can provide about Lena and her first husband Bernt the easier the search would be. Here is some information about Lena, specifically an approximate birth year and year of immigration from 1910 US Census.
Name: Lena A Juul
[Lena A Jnul]
Age in 1910: 42
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868
Birthplace: Norway
Relation to Head of House: Wife
Father's Birth Place: Norway
Mother's Birth Place: Norway
Spouse's Name: Jacob A
Home in 1910: Chicago Ward 15, Cook, Illinois
Marital Status: Married
Race: White
Gender: Female
Year of Immigration: 1872
While the above information fits at least some of your post, it would appear from the data above that Lena immigrated to the US at age 4. The data from the census also state they were married in 1898 when Lena was thirty. |

I thought that perhaps some of the above data from the Census was wrong so I checked the 1920 US Census and came up with about the same information, also indicating that Lena or in this case mis-spelled by the transcriber to Sena, immigranted to the US as a child. This does not fit well with the information you have posted. Do I have the wrong Lena Juul.
Name: Sena Juul
[Sena Jeuel]
Home in 1920: Chicago Ward 27, Cook (Chicago), Illinois
Age: 52 years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868
Birthplace: Norway
Relation to Head of House: Wife
Spouse's Name: Jacob
Father's Birth Place: Norway
Mother's Birth Place: Norway
Marital Status: Married
Race: White
Sex: Female
Year of Immigration: 1870

Thank you for your help lyndal40! That's an interesting find because stories from my family led me to believe she had been an adult and married before she moved to the U.S. Below is the information I have about Lena. I don't have much on Bernt.
Oleana Andrea "Lena" Tallacksen Juul
Birth: Oct. 27, 1865
Kristiansand
Vest-Agder, Norway
Death: Oct. 31, 1926
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Parents:
Andrea Poulsdatter Tallacksen (1828 - 1910)
Children:
Adolph Lawrence Juul (1900 - 1966)*
Spouse:
Jacob Adolph Juul (1858 - 1941)
Burial:
Unknown
Created by: Matthew Q Boeke
Record added: Oct 03, 2008
Find A Grave Memorial# 30280238
The birth years that we have don't match up, and it appears that Lena's parents were Tallacksens. Now I'm confused on her marriages to Bernt and to Jacob Juul. |

| I think you have the right person lyndal40. I think Lena was Bernt's daughter. What confused me was that Lena and her mother both have the name Andrea as their first or middle name. |

| So why and how do the names change so much? Tollachsen to Tallaksen and then Tallacksen. I've talked to a number of people in Norway with the last name Tallaksen, but they seem pretty sure they aren't related to me. How can I be sure if someone is related to me or not? |

Hi, JTallacksenJR linked me to this forum. I'm a Tallacksen cousin who does a lot of family tree research too.
I had a lot of this information before, but lost it when my flash drive failed. (I hadn't backed it up!)
Anyway, eibache, how do you know Bernt was a widower? I could read the age difference and the job title, but I didn't know about a previous marriage.
And thank you so much for finding Reier and Maren's parents. I had looked and not been able to climb that far up the tree. |
If you're beyond polyglot, does that make you a glottoglut? |

The marriage record, link #46, in my posting of 04/09/2009 : 07:25:53 reads as follows:
"Enkemand Glasmester (widower glazier) Berent Tobias Tallaksen and Pige (maiden) Andrea Poulsdatter"
(and then for both) "fødte her" (born here ie Kristiansand),
for Berent Tobias father "Glasmester" (glazier) Reier Tallaksen.
Berent Tobias first wife was Ingeborg Olsdatter, they married Sept 5 1839, see #46

| Ah. I couldn't read that word. Thanks. Now, I'll have to go searching for his first marriage... |
