To søstre fra Vestfossen , Øvre Eiker

[gj08781]

To døtre av smed Simen Hansen og Nikoline Johnsdatter, Vestfossen reiste til USA rundt 1900.
Sofie Andrea Simensen født 15-10-1884 i Vestfossen reiste ut fra Oslo 14-6-1901 16 år gammel til Duluth, Minnesota. Hun kom til USA med båten Germanic og det står i skipspapirene at hun skal besøke sin onkel som heter Godberg Evensen Duluth, Minnesota, født17-3-1864 i Vestfossen. Han var hjemme i Norge i 1900 og står oppført i skipspapirene som amerikansk statsborger. Sofie var hjemme i Vestfossen sommeren 1939 og det har blitt fortalt at hun bodde i Glenwood.


Den andre datteren het Magda Karoline Simensen født 8-1-1890. Hun reiste ut i 1909 19 år gammel. Må vel regne med at hun også skulle til Duluth, Minnesota. Har ikke funnet ut så mye om henne. Det ble sagt at hun bodde i nærheten av søsteren i Glenwood. Er det noen som kjenner til om søsterene giftet seg og har etterkommere? Likeledes er det interessant å vite noe mer om onkelen og om det er etterkommere av han også?

Er takknemmelig for all hjelp

Jeg fant denne på familysearch - fødselsdato og fylke stemmer på Magda. Og det står at hun gifter seg i 1920 med Carrol Magnus Trosvig, og at hun dør i 1956.

Må ihvertfall sjekkes videre.

Onkelen Godberg - er det denne karen født 17 mai 1864 ?

Og familien her i 1865-tellingen

Og her i 1875-tellingen

Han er ihvertfall ugift når han er på besøk i Norge - lenke til utreisen tilbake til Amerika

Dette kan være Godberg i 1900-tellingen i Amerika (selv om fødselsdatoen ikke stemmer helt):

Mange takk for hjelpen. Det var en god jobb. Det ser ut som om vi er på rett spor.
Regner med at personene er døde i dag, men hvordan finne barn og barnebarn etter disse igjen?

Onkelen til jentene er nok også riktig. han var ugift i 1900, men er det mulig å finne ut noe mer om han også?

Hei.

Godberg Evensen er faktisk min tippoldefar!
Han giftet seg med Janna Karoline Hotvet (vet ikke når) og fikk barna Hedvig Kirstine Marie (min oldemor) i 1904 og Gunvor ... litt senere (vet ikke like mye om henne).

Jeg søkte etter min oldemor i skannede kirkebøker fra Øvre Eiker, Vestfossen, og fant navn og fødselsår på mor (Janna) og far (Godberg), samt navn på alle faddere.

Det kan ikke være mange Godberg Evensen født 1864 fra Vestfossen. Jeg stusset over at de var så gamle som henholdsvis 39 og 40 år gamle da de fikk oldemor, men hvis han har vært i USA i mange år, så er det logisk likevel.

Min oldemor døde i 1997 og Gunvor døde noen år tidligere. Min oldemor fikk tre barn som alle lever i beste velgående. Gunvor fikk en eller to (husker ikke alle detaljer) barn.

Hvor er koblingen din til alt dette? Spennende saker.

med vennlig hilsen
Tanya Andersen

[dn24977]

Ser ut som at Godberg opprinnelig het Hansen og endret navn til Evensen da han kom til USA i følge denne linken. I tilfelle må han være bror til smeden du nevner?

Den linken nevner forresten alle navnene som er nevnt i denne tråden, ser ut som en Ellinor er på samme forskningstur. Jeg har lagt igjen beskjed der om at jeg er i slekt med Godberg, så får vi se om vi får noe svar.

Her var det mer info, men navnet er skrevet feil

http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/hi ... 7/4139.htm

[gj08781]

Det er en stund siden jeg har vært inne på DIS.

Godberg Hansen eller også Thorberg etter gården han bodde på. Utvandret til USA 14-2 - 1882 Han må ha vært i Norge igjen for han reiste over igjen 30-3-1900. Han står oppført som amerikansk statsborger.
Han må ha kommet tilbake til Norge for han giftet seg 30 mars 1902, Hedenstad, Kongsberg

Han var 40 år da han fikk første barn og hun var 39 år. De fikk 2 døtre født henholdsvis i 1904 og 1906.
