Kan noen hjelpe med å spore min bestefars bror Otto Benjamin Johansen, født i Bindal 1872, oppvokst på Groven gård, og min bestefars søster Julie Johansdatter, født i Bindal 1883, også oppvokst på Groven. Deres far var Johan H Wulf Jakobsen (1845 - 1929) født på Skåren gård i Bindal, men flyttet til Groven. Bestefar het Henrik Johansen Melgaard.

The church birth record for Otto Benjamin Johansen is:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=6640&idx_id=6640&uid=ny&idx_side=-66 He was born 23 Aug. 1871.

Father is Johan Jakobsen Skaaren, and the mother is Bergithe Christine Olsdater Skaaren.

One of the godparents is Georg Jakobsen, probably his brother.

The 1865 census contains the family of Johan H Wulf Jakobsen

This info may be useful for somebody.

Dag,
I can't read Norsk very good, and your previous post was in English. What is it, you want to know about Otto Benjamin Johansen?

There is alot of information I have been able to find in Digitalarkivet about this family, and I am assuming you have allready been there.

Tusen takk for innspill. Jacob Melgaard var far til Johan Henrik Wulf Jacobsen som igjen var far til Otto Benjamin Johansen og til min bestefar Henrik Johansen Melgaard, som emigrerte til Canada i 1908. Der er jeg nå i kontakt med kusiner jeg ikke ante jeg hadde takket være hjelp fra dette forumet!

Veldig fint å få sporet opp Eldora Julie!

Sorry for the Norwegian gibberish, will not happen again! And thanks for the reply, which helped a lot. I have traced much of the family and have by and by compiled a complicated family tree at "My heritage". Please have a look if you are interested:

Dag, no reason to apologize. That is why they make translation dictionaries.

A quick review of your family tree chart, indicates you need a few birth dates.
Trine was christened Elen Catherine, born 26 July 1837.
Helmine: born ?? May 1840
Caroline: born ?1 March 1856
Georg: born 23 August 1842
Alexander Beck: born 6 June 1847.

The above are all available at Digitarkivet, Vassås, Bindal, Nordland.
