| Great work.......I feel confident that the name interpreted to be Mariane Knukson is really Mariane Henrikson. I wish they had recorded who they were coming to America to be with. The Ostervold Centenial Book shows the Torkhild (yet another spelling) Halvorson married Marianne Christine Henrikson in 1894, no other details. That was in Finley N.D., so somehow Marianne got from Northwood township, Grand Forks County to Finley, Steele County. To bad they didn't take the census annually. |

| You could get the county level marriage record for Torkild and Marianne by writing to the Steele County Courthouse; Finley, N.D. 58230. According to my old Handibook, the County Judge has marriage records from 1883 & up. |

| In the 1910 U S Census there are only 669 people who fit the criteria of born in Norway 1874 +/- 2, arrived 1901 and male. No one on that list of 669 people anywhere in the US has any name even close to Lucas or Lukas Henriks----. Even making the search wider only nets one Lucas a Lucas Modine born in 1884 , arriving in 1901 and living in Duluth as a boarder. |

| Fantastic, this is all so exciting. I'm wondering if Lucas was sent back to Norway when he got to Canada since no return trips seem to be showing up. Wouldn't that be sad for Mariane, it always has seemed to me that she wasn't really accepted in the community. Most of the other families in that part of Steele County were from the Bergen area and she was from up north. She was also very pretty. |

Norway doesn't record return trips of folks the way they do with out-migrants. In the indexes at the ports Lucas would only have been recorded if he left from Norway again. In the parish registers there is a group of out & in migrating records called utflyttedes and inflyttedes. The local pastors were to keep these records of people who had come to them to inform them of their leaving and to get their documents and permission in early times. A lot of folks didn't bother with getting the pastor's say so when they migrated.
To be remembered is to live forever. So Lucas is remembered in a couple of nephew's names. |

One reason many went thru Canada to the US was that there was not the same kind of scrutiny health-wise as in American ports, unless you were exhibiting ill behavior--spots, vomiting etc. For someone who had T.B. as Lucas, the symptoms might not have been apparent. |

| Thank You, his beautiful name is still being carried on, first to his nephew (Marianne's son) then to his great great nephew and then to two of his great great great nephews. We all love the name. |
