I am updating family history and would like some help on this family - Per Hallvardson Hovland (b. 1791, d. 1837) and Gunnhild Eiriksdtr Hovland
(b. 1792, d. 1845). Did the following remain in Norway or emigrate to the USA - Torleiv, b. 1820; Sigrid, b. 1822; Hans, b. 1825; Anna, b. 1827; Marta, b. 1832; Gunhild, b. 1834 and Peder, b. 1836? I know Knut b. 1824 came to USA but where did he settle? Ole, Erik and Gjertrud all settled in Brush Creek Township, Faribault Co., Minnesota. Also I have some info that Per died in a tragic accident in 1837. Is there any record of "how" he died? I appreciate any help you can give me! |

According to that same tree Knut married Johanna Olsdatter Natvik in 1853.
Knud Pedersen in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926

Knut and Johanna and children (see numbers 128b to 132) left Bergen Norway in April 27, 1855 for New York on the Bark Kong Sverre, arriving July 4. Actually according to the Ancestry.com record it was July 5.
http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_list.asp?jo=1106
Here is the arrival record for son Ole age 4.
Ole Knudsen in the New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Name: Ole Knudsen
Arrival Date: 5 Jul 1855
Birth Date: abt 1851
Age: 4

Place of Origin: Norway
Port of Departure: Bergen, Norway
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Kong Sverre
The rest of the family are there and can be seen in the original record , however transcription makes them difficult to find. For example, this is my best guess as to how Knut Pedesen Hovland was transcribed.
Name: Karis Frederick Howland
Arrival Date: 5 Jul 1855
Birth Date: abt 1825
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/ Nationality: Norwegian
Place of Origin: Norway
Port of Departure: Bergen, Norway

| Interesting! About Knut - It has to be he and his family on the bark Kong Sverre but I feel he is #128b as Knud Pederson Howland, I don't know who 129 is, Knut's wife Johanna Olsdtr Howland is 130 and their 2 children are #131 and 132. I don't think that is the right family in Illinois. I feel that they must have come to the Minnesota area, perhaps Wisconsin as this is where others had settled. Any info on Marta, Gunnhild and Peder? Thank you for your help! |

| You are probably correct about the famly in Illinois, About the bark Kong Sverre ships register, the original document on Ancestry.com probably sheds some light on that. It shows a 128 as Nels Trytten just as the Norway Heritage ships passenger list does, then a name at 129 crossed out and impossible to read but age 19 and written over that and difficult to read is Knud Pedersen Howland age 30. Under him at 130 is Johanna Peder age 25, under her at 131 is Ole Knudsen age 4 and under him at 132 is Peder do (ie same as above) age 9 months. |

Some of the Family Trees have Sigrid marrying a Johannes Rasmussen in 1842. That may not be correct, here is a Sigrid Pedersdatter marrying a Johannes Jensen in 1842. That may be the correct marriage. The father of Johannes Jensen is Jens Rasmussen, that may be where the confusion starts.
Sigrid Pedersdr
in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926
Name: Sigrid Pedersdr
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 22 mai 1842 (22 May 1842)
Marriage Place: Laerdal,Sogn Og Fjordane,Norway
Spouse: Johannes Jensen
FHL Film Number: 126470

I notice in most of the Family Trees the parents of Per Hallovorsen born 1791 are left unnamed, and in a few cases the mother is listed as Sigrid Salamonsdatter. I wonder if this is not the family or at least the mother and child in the 1801 Norwegain Census. The mother is listed as unmarried And two below her is Peder Halversen born 1891. The location looks appealing.

| I think that would be the right Per Halvorson. I find in the Ardal database that his father is listed as Halvor Kristenson Fjosne, 1747-1797, and his mother as Sigrid Salomonsdotter Stein, 28.08.1757 - 1836. It also states that they were not married. In the 1801 census, is that several families living on the same farm as there are so many names listed under the Domocile. |
