Henry emigrated from Trondheim, Norway 1921 with wife Borghild and children Hilmar Myron b 1913, Klara Fredrikke b 1916, Erling J b 1918, Aksel L b 1914, Georg Trygve and Mary Henrietta b 1920. Henry's mother Karen Kristine Henriksen b 1854 followed the family to Placerville, California.
My father Řivind Johan Winje b 1911, was half-sibling to Henry.
First: I wish to get in contact with Henry's descendents in USA to exchange information about their ancestor's life in Norway and their life in USA.
Second: Can someone help finding if, when and how Karen Kristine Henriksen returned to Norway?
Greetings from Dagfinn Winje (b.1949). |

It looks like Karen Kristine was back in Trondheim by the 1925 local census, and that she died there in 1936. To establish this, first consider this apparent match for Henry and his mother in in the 1900 census, according to which she was born in Trondenes in 1854, which in turn points to this baptism of one Karen Kristine Henriksdatter born July 16 1854, matching this 1925 census record and this 1936 funeral record.
(Don't worry about the apparent Trondenes/Senja discrepancy; Trondenes sorenskriveri (magistrate) was separated out from Senja sorenskriveri in 1916/1917.)
Note that the birth date July 16 is different from the one used in the familysearch profile. |

A suprising find: Could it be that Karen Kristine was a younger sister of Edvard's deceased wife? Consider this 1874 wedding with groom Johan Edvard Iversen Nyenget and bride Ingeborg Marie Hendriksen Skarnland. (A brief look at the original shows that Skarnland could equally well be Skaanland, while her place of birth was Trondenes and not Trondheim.)
Going back to Trondenes, one finds this 1849 baptism for one Ingeborg Marie with the same parents as those in Karen Kristine's 1854 baptism. |

| And here is a Geni-profile for Karen Kristine, linked to sister Ingeborg Marie. |
