Så deilig å ha kirkebøkene på nettet. Sønnens morss side blir gradvis lagt inn i slektstreet. Men jeg må jammen over til Haugesund eller Koparvik og kjøpe flere av bygdebøkene, iallfall Torvastad. :-) Stå på med arbeidet her. Viktig for oppdateringer som har kommet etter at bøkene kom ut.

I am looking for, on behalf of myself and a cousin, Gisle Meling, the descendants of Elling Jakobsen and Berta Mikkelsdtr. The latter two are the gg grandparents of Pastor Gisle Meling. The are found in the Skudenes bygdebok on p. 317. These two persons and two of their children, Johanne Marie (g.m. Mikal fra Røyksund) and Elling Berdines, went to Amerika in 1884--Johanne in 1883, and settled in Norse, Texas. Are there descendants of Johanne? Any descendants from Elling Berdines? Also looking for descendants of Andreas Kornelius Larsen, b. 1879 at Sandve. (See Sk. bygdebok, p. 321, bnr. 11) Parents were Lars Gabriel Gunnarsen and Nilsine Ellingsdtr. (father was Elling Jakobsen). Andreas g.m. Bertha Haave from Jaeren. They had two children, Selma and Laura. Andreas may have called himself Charles Larson in Amerika. They settled in Crystal Lake (probably Lake Crystal in Blue Earth County, Minnesota). If anyone has any information on any of these people or their descendants, I would appreciate hearing from you. |

Hei. Eg og ei venninne har begynt å rote litt i Liknes slekta her på Karmøy for å finne ut om vi er i slekt. Men vi er desverre ikke kommet lengre bakover enn til bestefaren hennes Mandius Liknes. Har Også funnet navnet Ingvald Mandius men finner ingen opplysninger om han. Jeg har en teori om at det er faren til Mandius siden sønnen til Mandius heter Ingvald. Denne Mandius vi har funnet var medeiger i Bø og Liknes sin båt Cornelius Hvis det kan hjelpe. Hadde vært helt topp om noen kunne hjulpet oss og sendt meg ein mail med det de har funnet ut. Takk Mvh Astri og Janne |

Prøver gjesteboka for Karmøy, i håp om at det kanskje kan være noen som har opplysninger om Elling Hanssen fra Bergensdistriktet. Han skal være født rundt 1878, og flyttet til Nordland rundt 1800. Da han døde brukte han Høyer som slektsnavn. Alt som kan være av interesse om han, tas i mot med stor takk.

I am a descendant of Ole Gundersen, who was born at Tjostheim in Dec. 1834 and emigrated to the U. S. in 1858 with his father, Gunnar Olsen, and other family members. The information you have posted on Gunnar Olsen (No. 6 under "Andre oppsittere" of Tjostheim) is slightly different from that printed in the 1982 bygdebok by Arnvid Lillehammer. Has the bygdebok for Karmoy been updated? |

I am searching for anyone who might have information on Anna Gjertine Marie (last name maybe Dahl)born 1884 Avaldsnes and her brother Oskar Edward born in Skudenes. They were the children of Gjertrude Marie Olsdatter born 1859 and Ole Hanssen Melvoll born 1839. They were sent to the Dale farm to live when their parents went to America (according to the family story). I do not know for sure if the parents did go to America but I do know that the children were left at the Dale Farm but I do not know who they were left with and who raised them. I have been told that their parents went to America in 1889 so they would have been quite small when they were left. Anna and Oskar left Norway and went to the USA in 1902 and I am hoping to find out who they were living with before 1902 in Norway. Is there a census for Norway (Rogaland) in 1900? Does anyone know anything about these people? Thank you |

Noen som kan hjelpe meg? Erik Eriksen Bygnæs (Bygnes) emigrerte til Amerika i 1880. Jeg finner han i oversikten over emigranter som reiste fra Stavanger. Ifølge denne oversikten var han født i 1856, men i bygdeboka for Avaldsnes står det at han ble født i 1858. Jeg har nå holdt på i ett år for å finne denne mannen. Det hadde vært kjekt å visst hvor han bosatte seg, om han ble gift og fikk barn og jeg er spesielt interessert i å vite når han døde. Har prøvd å søke litt på rootsWeb, familysearch ol. men foreløpig uten hell. Blir veldig glad hvis noen kan hjelpe meg, jeg har brukt mye tid på å finne ut av dette. Vennlig hilsen Marita Bygnes Mar-kje@c2i.net |

Jeg skulle gjerne ha visst hvor han senere bosatte seg i Amerika, om han ble gift og fikk barn og ikke minst når han døde. Har prøvd å søke litt på rootsWeb, Familysearch ol. uten hell. Kommer vel av at jeg ikke er så flink til å bruke sidene, for jeg har faktisk fått opp navnet hans som funnet. Jeg brukte da Bygnæs til etternavn. Jeg hadde blitt svært glad hvis noen kunne ha hjulpet meg til å finne Erik. Jeg har brukt mye tid på dette og har nå innsett at jeg trenger litt hjelp for å få det til.

Hei! Sitter her og ser i bygdeboka deres for Avaldsnes. Gikk inn på Bygnes der jeg selv kommer fra. Ser at mye av informasjonen er feil. Dette gjelder stort sett det som er fra 1900 - tallet. Mange barn mangler under foreldrene og flere navn er skrevet feil. Selv driver jeg daglig med slektsgransking. Kanskje jeg melder meg inn i slektforum Karmøy?

Hei! Jag har släktingar i Torvestad på gårdar som hette "Lille Hagland Hønsehaug" och "Grønhilde". Jag har i åtminstone förstått det som att dessa ska ha legat på Karmøy och undrar därför var någonstans jag ska söka efter dem? Jag har sökt lite bland Torvestad, men inte hittat något än så länge. Jag har också hittat släktingarna på "Hagland store" men då hör detta till Skåre... Tyvärr har jag inte hittat någon bra karta över vad som hör till Skåre så jag ber om ursäkt om inte någon av mina släktingar jag nämnt hör till Karmøy. Har sökt efter en karta över Torvestad men inte hittat någon utförlig ännu tyvärr. Jag bor i Sverige (Stockholm) och har tyvärr ingen möjlighet att forska om mina norska släktingar "på plats". tacksam för svar med vänliga hälsningar Celina Blomqvist |

I am searching for Gjertrude Marie Oldsatter born 1859, Rogaland. Parents were Ole Andreas Rasmussen b. 1832 Rogaland and Anna Marta Andersdatter b. 1837 Rogaland. Her siblings were Asseline b. 1856, Elias b. 1862, Anna Helene b. 1865, Aseus b. 1874 and Bendik Johan b. 1867. These are the ones I have found. Gjertrude married Ole Hansen about 1883. Ole Hansen was married to Gjertrude Kristine Nilsdatter in 1872 in Avaldsnes. She must have died and he remarried. Ole Hansen and Gjertrude Marie Olsdatter had one child Anna Gjertine born 1884, that I have found in the county books. I do know for sure that Anna Gjertine had a brother Oscar born 1886 but I am not sure if he was the son of both parents or not. I can't find Gjertrud Marie after the entry in the county book. It only lists one child Anna Gjertine. I am trying to find her but I have had no luck. Any information on this family please contact me

I am descended from Karen Sophie Sivertsen(1853-1922) daughter of Sivert Johan Sjovatsen and Gunhild Halvorsdatter Lia of Kopervig. Karen Sophie left Norway in 1883 for Wisconsin where she married Erik Elias Helmik Pedersen from Halleland. I am hoping to find the descendents of Karen's two brothers, Sivert Johan (1850- ) and Hans Kristian (1856- )both born in Kopervig. Would your updated farm books or other data bases provide some information? Also, Karen brought with her some very photographs of people who I would like to identify. Unfortunately, she did not mark on the photos. If I scan the photos and send them to you do you have a means to share them with other researchers? Thank you. Eric |

I am related to the Pallesen's from Skudeneshavn & Kvitsøy. My grandfather is Hans Jorgen Pallesen son born of Palle Andersen and Janiken Oldsdtr. Palle was son of Anders Andressen of Hemnes who went to Kvitsøy as a young boy and married Serine Pallesdtr and Palle was born on Kvitsøy. An older son Oluf Andreas Pallesen is the only indivual that I do not know what happened to him. Data I have that I do not totaly belive is that he was a tailor in Skudeneshavn in the early 1900 and had two daughters. Is this true or did he also go to America. If interested I have complete data on all other Pallesen in the U.S. as well as data on the Pallesen line to Denmark going back to the late 1490. I am willing to share all data. As a further note all my data is in TMG and I can transmit data via Genview or Gedcom as well as TMG backup. Thank you Herb Pallesen |

Thank you for this wonderful entry for us Norwegians who love the homeland and long to know more about our roots. My mother was orphaned at age one and knew very little about her family. My sister, Susan, has been researching and found our grandparents were from the Liknes/Fagerland family.My grandfather was Lars Larsen and my grandmother was Nellie or Nelne Fagerland Larsen. They lived in Hammer, South Dakota. I have heard that Lars had five brothers who were immigrating to the America, but were tragically drowned when their ship sank. Does anyone have any information about a ship sinking with Norwegian immigrants (1890's-1920's?) Thank you! |

I am searching for any information on my grand mother and her family: My grandmother was Anna Knutsen who was born Føyno an island off the coast near Haugesund, Rogaland. Anna’s father Helge Knutsen was born in 1862 died in Norway in 1935. Anna’s Mother was named Marie born in 1871 died in Norway in 1945. Anna Knutsen met my grandfather in Detroit MI and they married soon after. She had two brothers here that I know about, Andrew Knutsen-Helgesen ( born 10 Sep 1889-died Jun 1970) & John Knutsen-Helgesen (born 20 Aug 1921 –died April 1989) . Marinius and Anna had two children but soon after her daughters birth she discovered that she had Tuberculosis she took the children Leo and Ellen back with her to Føyno where she soon died from her illness. Any help you may be able to give me on this matter. e-mail: DawnRaven5@aol.com |

I am a descendent of Knute Knutson who married Agnes Rothchild and came to Dane County, WI, USA around 1860 then later settled in Nebraska. My records show they came from Akershus, Christiana, Oslo Nowrway I would welcome any help you might be able to give me to find information about them in Norway. They had 2 young children in Norway when they emmigrated. Both children died on the voyage over, as well as all of the other children. They travelled down the St. Lawrence River. Thanks I would also be more than willing to use our American resources to help you find your ancestors that have emmigrated to the United States. |

Kan noen hjelpe med opplysninger om møbelsnekkermester Anders Sivertsen, Stavanger? Han ble født i 1821 i Skudeneshavn. Borgerskap som snekkermester i Stvgr. 30.10.1844. Var en av byens mest sentrale håndverksmestre. Bla. var han drivkraften bak da flere håndverkere i byen brøt ut av Stvgr.Tekniske Forening og dannet Stvgr. Haandverkerforening i 1873. Sivertsen var formann i årene 1873-75 og 1878. I 1885 hadde han verksted og bodde i Øvre Strandgt. 26. Han var død før 20.10.1897, for da solgte enken verkstedeiendommen til snekkermester Sivert Tønnesen. Skulle gjerne hatt nærmere opplysninger om fødsels- og dødsdato, etterkommere o.a. informasjon om ham. Jeg har til gjengjeld et foto av ham jeg kan sende evt. interesserte. Vennlig hilsen John S. Bjerga |

Just came across this site, it is a great site.I am looking for my great grandmother. She was born in Avaldsnes 1884. I have no idea who her parents were. She had a brother born 1886. Their names were Anna Gjertine Marie Dahl and Oscar Edward Dahl,I dont know if the name Dahl is Correct or if that is just a name they took when they went to the USA. I dont know when they came to the USA but I do know it was before 1903. Can anyone please help me, I have been searching for a very long time. Thank you

Hei Karmøy, En av mine tippoldefedre var Tomas Abrahamsen Østhus, født på bnr. 3 under Østhus i 1794. Det kunne vært artig å komme i kontakt med etterkommer av ham eller andre "mangemenninger" der ute. Selv bor jeg på Hjelmeland. God påske til alle. |
