Yes....found out that her last name may have been Olsdatter or Lund and the name Loften looks like where she may have lived and Trondein where she grew up. Also that she may have had a first marriage in Norway. I was hoping maybe it would fill in some holes in my family tree. LOL Thanks
I found where she came to USA via Port of Philadelphia on the Steamship Lord Gough from Liverpool England and arrived June 2, 1881...destination Baldwin Wisconsin. She used the sur name of Lund. |

| Thank you so much! I'm happy to have this bit of information. I know she is the right one and I meant 1891 not 1881. I'm glad to know which name to go by also. This forum is always so helpful. |

| I have found where her date of birth was listed one place as January 1867 although her headstone says 14 Jun 1867. I've seen families make mistakes on the headstones before. |

| Thank you. I don't believe she had a son then and I don't know why she used the surname of Olsen also that people remember. |

Hi,
A bit off the mark of the current conversation but here is the MOMS listing of her marriage to Edward Hanson:
MARSHALL B-447 5/20/1893 HANSON, EDWARD J./ LUND, MAGGIE
The actual record might identify her as a widow or formerly married person.
Regarding the name of her birthplace as Lofsten, etc, here are couple of possibilities. In the 1875 Norwegian census transcription on line a search for birthplace named Loften found some members of a family living in Steigen a parish in Nordland. The Lofoten islands are another possible place. Trondein, etc. seems like it might be Trondhjem. These are all northerly locations in Norway.

| That looks very interesting. Do you know how I can find the actual record or can you tell me where you found this? Thank you so much for looking. |

Hi,
Here is the web address for the Norwegian digital archives. On that site you can search in the 1801, 1865, 1875, 1900 Norwegian census transcriptions, passenger registers (has a database of departures from Trondhjem) and the digitized and mounted parish registers of Norway.
If for some reason this link doesn't take you to the home page, just google Norwegian digital archives.

Sorry to be so nosy... but here is a Margrethe Lund information from the Trondhjem departures:
Year Page Line no. Serial no. New group Date of reg. Date Given name Last name Marital status Family pos. Occupation Sex Age Residence Destination Line Ship Ticket Travel permissions
64479 1891 654 9 1442 1 13.05.1891 13.05.1891 Margrethe Lund ug Arb k 24 Thjem Baldvind Wisc American Bravo Bill. bet. i Amerika
The ug means unmarried and Thjem is an abbreviation for Trondhjem and her fare was paid for in America.

In the posting 03/01/2010 : 09:08:04 I should have said "click on May 13 1891" - most of my postings are hyperlinks.
Useful translator

| Yes I realized that and it was very helpful. Thank you. That made it very easy for me. I had heard Edward J Hanson's first wife Dorthea had died in Norway. He then went to America with his two oldest children of the four he had in Norway. He later had sent for Margrethe Maggie Lund to come to America. So that all seems to fit into place where he probably paid her way. Maggie must have lived near him when he was in Norway since he knew her before she came to America. You all are so helpful! |

Here is another way to search the Norwegian Census data. Try typing in Margarethe and click on 1875 and search.. You only turn up 47 names in the 1875 Census, but no Olsdatters.

| Great site!! Thank you so much. I enjoyed looking through the names. I could weed it down to a few. There are five pages of names. Gee, I didn't realize it was such a popular name. The one that hits me to be the closest is: Dverberg Hansdatter, Margrethe Olea 1867 Bjøskd. Dværbg. Loviken. The reason is they always called her Maggie O and she named a son Hans, maybe after her father. Maybe someone assumed Olson. There were many Margrethe Olsons and Olsdatters but none of the dates fit and there weren't any Margrethe Lunds. But that isn't enough information to make me sure. Thanks for poking around. |
