My wifes grandfather Nils Evensen Hugaas lived in Norway.
Born 22/11-1889
He left Norway and came to Ellis Island 1909(found him in the passengerlist named Nils Hugaas)
I think he went to America to visit his uncle,Ole Wallum(Vollum)
But can't find anything about him.
In the passengerlist from Ellis Island it was written that he was gonna go to Eau Claire,wisconsin.
Can someone help us #128512;#128512;

Hi, What are you seeking? Information about Nels in USA?
This might be your Niels Evensen b 1889, listed in the 1900 census as a working boy away from home, at Hugaas, born 1889 in Sokndal.

Here is the Ole Wollum you mean, with nephew Nels Evensen born 22 Nov 1889
http://www.hemneslekt.net/getperson.php?personID=I108729&tree=Hemne
Nels Evenson made a will 18 September 1953. In December 1953, Jennie Evenson applied for probate. See newspaper:link

Hi Anton, Andreas was looking for a nephew of Ole Wollum who went to Eau Claire. I posted a tree for an Ole Wollum who had a brother Even, and Even had a son Niels Evenson born 22 Nov 1889. |
