There are bygdebooks for Bø, with the genealogy of the people living there. There are 3 volumes.
"Slektshistorie for Bø kommune i tre bind", I have mailed the local library in Bø for further details.

Borge,
First of all, thanks.
As I talk to you, I have in front of me a printed copy of Digitalakivet: Emigrants from Trondheim 1867-1930. l1769259/122. It seems the family was on the Damshik Dommino of the Alan Line to Lake Mills, Iowa, via Albert lea, Minnesota.
I don't know if it was a custom in those days, but Enevold was listed as industrous, or hard worker.
I looked that term up in my dictionary: arbeidsm.

Yes, he is listed as "Arbeidsm." (Arbeidsmand) which means laborer, but that title was used for all kinds of different laborers, if they were miners, carpenters, or what ever, so it is not a very precise description. They traveled on the steamship Domino of the Wilson Line from Trondheim to Hull, England, from Hull they went by train to Liverpool to board the Allan Line transatlantic steamer. |

Borge,
Thanks for your help.
I found out about my grandmother and the alusive Petra.
Excusive my Norweigen, but I obtained some material from Statsarkivet I Trondheim/ Postboks 2825 Elgesaeter/Tronheim.
Supposeably Petra Amalie was born on June 1866 the daughter of bachelor Simon Peder Hemmingsen from Hemnes paris and maid Anna Marie Ellinsdatter from the Ramberg farm in Bo in Nordland.
In 1873, Anna Marie married Enevold Severson. In 1881, the family left Norway, all under the name of Severson.
It wasn't until 1886 when Petra became wed to the Gunner Olson in Lake Mills, Iowa, that she took back her original father's name during the ceremony.
One final thing, in my great grand mother's obit she was listed as Anna Marie Ellingson.
No wonder it is so hard to keep track of one's relatives.

Hi all,
I don't know if anyone can help me, but does anyone know if Simon Peder Hemmingsen ever emigrated to America.
See my above post.

Hi,
what about this? Click here and here.
There is also one Simon Peter Hemmingsen b. 1824, d.1829. He must be an older brother of your Simon.
