You can search the earlier postings of the Forums on this website by using the link above on the upper right of this page entitled Forum Search. You can search for any word or combination of words.

Jackie is probably referencing the books by Gerhard B. Naeseth, "Norwegian immigrants to the United States : a biographical directory 1825-1850" which has been published in a series of volumes. He wrote other books also, but researchers into early Norwegian emigrants most often refer to the above. There are a number of people who have one or more of the Naeseth volumes and who volunteer to do limited lookups.

Hi

My understanding is that Volume I of the series is out of print. You might want to try ILL (interlibraryloan) at your local public library to see if there is a library which could loan the book. Failing that you can also request photocopies of pages in books through ILL.

Good Luck to you...

OK Thank you!!!
So if this is one of 2 different Oles of the same family that went to Texas.
Son of Canute born 1832 in Norway
Son of Halvor born 1834 in NY

We know that Canute didn't come to us until after 1832 and would have brought wife and Ole when he was about 30 years old.

Can we find exit papers for them?

I still struggle reading the Norwegian handwriting and can only pick up a word or 2 here and there.

Would there be any clues in the God parents? Do they name siblings as God parents ever?

Another thing I noticed... Why do they wait so long from death to burial in the early records?



Thanks, Jodie

Hi,
Yes I think the 2 Oles’s that are listed as 1st cousins (of Samuel Canuteson, son of Ole, Brother of Jens, Halvor & Canute Canuteson) Probate record are the 2 Ole’s I find in Bosque Co. TX. They would be 1st cousins to Julia Knuteson (Ole C. Kittleson Baker’s wife) Samuel’s Probate record in 1919 states that Ole son of Canute lives in Bosque Co., Waco, TX and that Ole son of Halvor lives in Bosque Co., Norse TX. It also states that Halvor had a son named Knute that had died prior to 1919. I am believing this is the son who died 07 Dec 1862 in the Civil War Prairie Grove, Ark (Civil War Battle).

Son of Canute -- Ole Born 4 Sep 1832 in Nordstokke, Avaldsnes, Norway Died 6 Nov 1920 Texas Burial Oakwood Cemetery, Waco, Texas Spouse: Ellen Malene Endresdatter Sep 1850 LaSalle Co., Illinois. ( I don’t know what happened with marriage records for this family in the 1850’s. I cannot locate any here in LaSalle Co., I cannot find one for Julia Knuteson & Ole Baker in 1866 either)

Son of Halvor -- Ole Andreas Canuteson Ole Andreas Canuteson Born 29 Apr 1834 in NY Died 16 Jan 1920 Norse, TX Burial, Our Savior Lutheran Cemetery. He was married 3 times, Ingeborg, Christina, and Martha.

At this point, Nothing I find on line clearly names the parents of these 2 Ole’s just that they were Norwegians from the Stavenger area. I am in search of: Birth Parish records, Exit Parish records, Marriage Records, Death Records, ect.. that may name parents and when they arrived in the USA.

I think it is very safe to say they were NOT on the restoration ship in 1825. So they were not the original Sloopers. But did come shortly after 1832-1834

I do not have Ancestry. But I have come across where it states Ancestry has the Death record of one of the Oles above. Is it possible for someone to do a look up for me?

Thanks, Jodie
