I am new to this forum, and new to research on my Norwegian ancestors. I am looking for Josef Hansen, born 11 Apr 1890 in Christiana and his future wife, Marie Christensen born on an unknown date in 1888. According to the family he is from Christiana, but on his draft record he indicated he was from Oslo. On their marriage certificate in Illinois it states that Josef's parents are Charles Hansen and Mashel Andersen - I believe the "Mashel" is a phonetic spelling of "Michelle" so it could be her name was Mikaela. Marie Christensen's parents are noted as Otto Christensen and Karen Petersen. Can anyone give me some guidance in how to go about searching for these two people? In reading about the naming conventions in Norway, I'm not even sure where to start. Thank you for any help you can give me, I do appreciate it!
Nancy

From Morning Star (Rockford, Illinois), Sunday 15 April 1917 pg 7 col 3:
"Harold Hanson
Harold Hanson, three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hanson of 2220 Fifteenth Ave., died last night at 9:30 o'clock at his home after a brief illness of pneumonia. There are two other children. Funeral arrangements were not completed last night."
A card of thanks published later names the two siblings as Carl and Lillian. |

Hi
A possible Marie born sept. 6, 1887 and baptized nov. 27 1887 in Frogner parish, Lier, Buskerud.
Her parents were Otto Kristiansen and Karen Olea Pedersen.

So Harold Hansen probably married Julia sister to Marie and then Marie married Joseph brother to Harald. So now where do Joseph and Harold come from .
This is likely Julie and Harold in 1910 US Census. Along with Marie age 21, living with them before she marries Joseph.
