We are trying to locate descendents of Josephine Andreassen.
She is the daughter of George Martin Kristian Andreassen and Julie Elizabeth (Moe?) Andreassen. She emigrated to the US from Naeroy area of Norway around 1900 to the Minneapolis, MN., area. Several of her siblings (Elinus, Jacobine and Georgine) also emigrated to MN. Georgine was married to Edvin Schjolberg prior to coming to the US. We have been in touch with the descendents of Elinus, Jacobine and Georgine, but we do not have any information about Josephine.

George Andreassen's first wife, Julie, died and he remarried and had 7 more children with his second wife, Maria. We know that several of these children came to the US. Synnove (a daughter from the second marriage) came to Minneapolis and we think that others went to Seattle.

We are in contact with Synnove's family but we do not know where any other descendents of George and Maria have settled.

Is there anyone who has any information about this Andreassen family?

NO, we do not know the birthdate or date of baptism for Josephine. We only know that she was in Minneapolis around 1913. Jakobine, Julie Georgine and Elenus were also there at that time.
We did not know of the sibling named Georg Jacob sverdrup.
How did you find this information?

To eibache: We are now wondering if Aunt Josephine was born Josephine Friborg instead of Josephine Andreassen. If that were the case she would have been a sister to Matthew Friborg. The Friborg family may have been from the area called Sunnfjord.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.

If you could give some more info on Matthew Friborg that would be a help - I have no idea where that person comes into the picture or what timespell and places are relevant to him.

To eibache:

Mathias Elias Friborg born 6-13-86 in Norway

Mathias married Jacobine (Jakobine) Andreassen

We assumed that Josephine was a sister to Jacobine but now we are wondering if Josephine may have been a sister to Mathias.

To eibache: We are now wondering if Josephine was born prior to the marriage of her father and mother. We think it is more likely that she was an Andreassen rather than a Friborg but perhaps her birth name was not Andreassen.

Maybe Josefine Petrine born Aug 25 1890 could be the one you are looking for. Her bapt record is #27, the parents are Johan Andreassen and Serine Mathiasdatter.
In the 1900 census they were living at Lundring Bækvik.
