I am searching for any information on the following Johannessen's formerly of Fredrikstad, Norway.
1. Johan Emil Johannessen D.O.B. 1850 in Drammen.
We know that Johan was a ships captain, the ship was wrecked and because it was a family business and no insurance, they lost everything. Any info on the name of the ship, where the wreck happened?
2. Son of Johan Emil was WILHELM CHRISTIAN JOHANNESSEN. He was also a captain of many ships out of Fredrikstad, they lived in the city close to the harbour I think in Queen Street? Wilhelm Christian was born 1895 and died in 1970. Is there any information on the ships he was captain of and any information on his travels. He had claimed to have shot a man in the USA and because he was a ships captain he was allowed a Gun for self defence, not sure when this would have happened.
3. Reidar Wilhelm Johannessen 1939 - 1992.
Reidar apparently ran away to sea when he was a young teenager. He ended up jumping ship in Fremantle Australia in 1958 from the ship Anna Bakke. Any information on which ships he sailed on again out of Fredrikstad other than the Anna Bakke.
Hope there is some more information out there somewhere! |

The family lived in Oslo/Kristiania at the time of the 1900 Norwegian census. The child, Kristian Wilhelm Johannesen, is indicated in that census as born in Oslo/Kristiania and older siblings born in Fredrickshald (see Halden) rather than Fredrickstad.

The most recent Norwegian census which has been released for public viewing is the 1910 and most parish church records after circa 1930 are also withheld from the public for privacy and identity protection.

| Thank you for your help. Also thanks for the links to the other websites that I can now use to trace my husbands family. You helped to clear up an anomaly in our family tree. We were led to believe that Johan Emil had one son by the name of Christian Whilhelm who had died as a child (we had no date of birth or death) and then in 1895 they had a son which they named Whilhelm Christian. It appears that they are one and the same, as Kristian Vilhelm as per the 1910 census was born in 1895. thank you again. |
