Well, I think its true that we have assumed he was Norwegian but he didn't necessarily have to be.

Thank you Vivi , your comments make me feel much more comfortable that Jørgine could have met a Hakon in Oslo before she left. Now which Hakon? The only Hakon found in New York in the 1900 time frame fits fairly well is the Hakon Emil Ericksen. Jackie has posted a link to the 1885 Census showing that a Hakon Emil Ericksen was living in Kristiania on that time. However Jørgine would have been only 10.

A brief summary of what I think we know about Hakon Emil Ericksen. Not a for sure id means that he is not using the middle name Emil.

Don't underestimate the old tyme method of meeting via correspondence. And Hakon can be spelled many ways: Haakon, Hakon, Hagen, Haagen, Håken, Håkon, etc.

What about the sister Nicoline who went to Canada when was that?

Here is a naturalization for a Hakon Emil Erickson in 1892 in New York. His contact person is a Frank Neuman or at least it looks like that. Haven't been able to look at the images at familysearch with any regularity....

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVT7-J7NL

And a death for a Hakon Erickson b in 1865 son of John Erickson and Christine Johnson:

I notice that on his Naturalization Petition that he lists Polisher as his occupation. Same occupation given by the Hakon Ericksen living at 436 Pleasant Avenue, New York. Jackie you are right a Frank Neumann is listed in two places on the original document.

Oddly enough Hakon Emil Ericksen and family father Carl and mother Kristine are living in Kristiania in the 1865 Norwegian Census.

Here is Hakon Ericksen travelling from New York to England. I would assume he then would go on to Norway next. He lists his occupation as metal polisher, similar to the occupations Hakon Emil Ericksen has listed in various US records. No son with him, you wonder who is taking care of Hjalmar.

This gives a clarified meaning to his occupation as "polisher."

However there is also a set of brothers Emil and Hjalmar Ericksen also living in Norway in the 1875 Census and who also ended up in New York. Both are listed a muscians in the New York Census, We also found their arrival earlier, also listed as muscians.
