In the 1900 Holmestrand census, my great great grandfather Rikhard Nilsen has his profession listed as Malermester, in Danish this is translated into "master painter". I was wondering if this was a common profession at the time and was hoping someone can tell me what he was a master painter of or what kind of jobs he may have been doing with that type of job title. I'm doubting it has to do with art, maybe a painter of buildings or equipment.
Also, my gg grandfather, johannes pedersens 2 sons, ole hjalmer kallerud and emil theodor kallerud emmigrated to America, but in 1921 both came back to Norway to visit. I thought it was strange both of them would come back at the same time and was wondering if maybe johannes or his wife grethe marie olsdatter had died and they came home for the funeral. I cant find any death records for johannes or grethe, can anyone help with that? |
