Hi, I'm attempting to research my father's family. I've gotten as far back as 1878. My great-great grandfather was born March 28, 1878 in Ringsaker and his name was Martin Olsen Hakensveen. He married my great-great grandmother Nicoline or Nicolina Olsen (I don't have a maiden name) in 1904. Nicoline was born June 8, 1884 in Norderhov, Norway. Their last address in Norway was Christiania, now Oslo in 1905. They left for American on March 30th, 1905. I was able to find her passenger record but not his. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
