Hi
Battling to find the parents and siblings of:
Carl Oscar Iversen, b. 1876 Kristiania
Clara Lovise Johnsen, b. 1879 Aalesund
Late special: Carl's father was probably Fritjof !

Also their emigration to South Africa circa 1890's details.
Any help out there ?
Ken

Hi Nina
Absolutely sterling work!! Thank you very much for the reply. Possibly you can also answer the following:
1. Translation of Bro Legger; Brol Lærling; Tjenestepige; Stensætter.
2. Now that I have some father and son details for Fritjof, where can I obtain a birth/christening copy or do I still need more detail?
3. Is Clara Lovise Johnsen not that easy?
Thanks again,
Ken

1.Translation: Bro Legger=person paving with cobble-stone; Brol(egger)Lærling=his apprentice; Tjenestepige=servant girl; Stensætter=stonemacon.
2.Church records of Vor Frue Parish are held at Riksarkivet in Oslo:

3.Clara Lovise Johnsen may have left Norway before 1900, then the only way to find her would be church records for Aalesund, held at Riksarkivet in Trondheim . She's not in the emigration lists from Aalesund, but you can search other Norwegian ports here:

Nov. 23 1914 on the Union Castle Line, Nikoline Johansen b. 28/1 1876, married, living in Johannesburg, Afrika (aut.fører=chauffer?) returned home after a visit in Aalesund. Could she be related?
