Lars Sjursen, f. 8 Sep 1835

[gj05515]

Hello!

I am trying to find out what became of Lars Sjursen (and his parents).

Here is his birth record, 8 Sep 1835 on the farm Ygre in Voss:

#225
Kildeinformasjon: Hordaland fylke, Voss, Ministerialbok nr. A 12 (1823-1837), Fødte og døpte 1835, side 141.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-142

He was confirmed in Voss on 6 Oct 1850:

#14
Kildeinformasjon: Hordaland fylke, Voss, Ministerialbok nr. A 18 (1848-1876), Konfirmerte 1850, side 13.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-16

I can not find the family after this confirmation record. I think that maybe Lars went to America about 1854. Does anyone have info on this family?

Mvh,

Brian Gaber

Hi

Here is what I found in a book from Voss about Lars and his parents.
(Not much, I'm afraid.)

I also found the book on-line; here about Ygre:

And the probate.
There are two sons who are both named Lars, one is 12 years old and the other about 4 years old.

Hi

This must be the mother of Lars leaving Norway 1856 with one son:

Hei Vivi and Tove,

Thank you very much for your help! I can't find Lars (born 8 Sep 1835) in Hordaland in 1865, so maybe he did follow his mother to America (or maybe she followed him). I will try looking for his mother and brothers in Minnesota where he lived.

Mvh,

Brian

Census records for Lars say he arrived in America in 1854.

Hi Vivi and Tove,

With your help I was able to confirm that this is the correct family! Thank you both very much.
