I have written about my roadblock before. My great-grandfather, Andreas Anderson Berger b.07 Oct 1835 in Eidsvold had a half sister and brother. She was Maren Anderson b. 19 Feb 1857 and he Anton Anderson b. 1860 died Jan. 1900. These names are confusing because Andreas also named a daughter Maren b. 10 Sept 1866 and a son Anton b. 12 June 1856 in Eidsvold who left for America in 1872! Maren 1857 was here by 1895 because she was married to John Brunner on 28 Feb 1895 in La Crosse, Wisconsin. She is listed in the 1895 Wisconsin State Census: 20 June 1895, 1st Ward of City of Onalaska, La Crosse Co., Wisconsin married to John Brunner. She died 11 May 1900 in La Crosse and is buried in the Onalaska Cemetery. I know that the records were burned in Eidsvold, but shouldn't these 2 as children be on a 1865 census and shouldn't they be on some passenger list?According to pictures and the age of the relative I know, Anton 1860 was here in around 1880 They would have come to La Crosse or Trempealeau County Wisconsin.
I have pictures of them and know Maren's descendants, but because she died when her children were young, they are also looking for information. Any possible clue will be most appreciated. Thank you kindly for your time, Mary |
