Thank you eibache - that is an excellent source of Norwegian immigrants to Norsewood which is in the North Island of New Zealand - I THINK my ggrandfather arrived in the South Island as first record of him buying land is in Invercargill (most southern city) in 1878.
Thank you to Kaarto - yes, Mathias is listed in this family tree - I have emailed the writer but no reply as dated July 2002 - somewhere in USA are distant relatives! |

You have relatives in the US. The e-mail adress to Joel Scott Damir is probably to old. Since his name is in the familytree online I guess it´s okay to look after him vithout violating his privacy.
Hopefully this is the right person. Joel S Damir lives in Sycamore Place 312, Sierra Madre, California, see almost bottom here

I am still unable to find when Mathias Imbs arrived in New Zealand and the ship that he came on. Eibache and Kaarto, you have both been most helpful. Thank you. I am awaiting a reply from the family you gave me address for.
In the meantime: could you tell me anything about Tanke Mathias D. Ims born 31.8.1890, died 3.4.1904. I found a grave for him in the churchyard at Hole when I visited Hole and the farm Ims in 1985. I took a photograph of the grave but have never found out who his parents were, or if he is related to our Mathias Imbs. |

Tanke Mathias D. Ims in the 1900 census. The father Daniel Larsen came from Meling and the mother from Dyrdal.
Since Tanke and Mathias are first names I do not see any immediate relationship to your ancestors.

Thank you Eibache for quick reply - I thought it only a possibility and the Ims surname (farm name) made me wonder.... I can now eliminate that from my research. |

You may be interested in the marriage record for Mathias parents Ole Olsen and Anne Sørensdatter, it is #2 in 1830. Ole Olsen was 40 years old and came from Høle, Anne Sørensdatter came from the farm Flaa on Finnøy.
Anne Sørensdatter was baptized July 7 1805, see 2nd record on left page. Her parents were Søren (Olsen) and Kirstine (Gudmundsdatter) Faae, see also 1801 census.
Ole Olsen, his parents and siblings in 1801.
