Sofie & Emma Sakariasdtr. Skagen, Flekkefjord

[dn22312]

Hei igjen. Har Amerika-ånden og pøser på med etterlysninger her på forumet. Fikk 3 nye facebookvenner i USA i går. Så dette er til stor stor hjelp.

Denne gang 2 søstre. Sofie født 1893 og Emma født 1895. Døtre av Tønnes Sakarias Abrahamsen Skagen og Anne Severine Tønnesdtr.

I Listaboka står det at jentene havnet i Minnesota... men det er alt jeg vet. Så her kommer de vanlige spørsmålene... giftet de seg, fikk de barn...?

All informasjon tas i mot med stor takk...

Svein, fint om du oppgir fødselsdatoer på de du søker. Ofte trenger man de for å avgjøre om man har funnet rett person. Så det er hjelp til hjelperne.

[dn19075]

Emigrasjonsdato og lenker (fra utflyttede eller emigrasjonsliste) er også greit å ha. Spesielt for de som reiser etter 1900.

[dn22312]

Fdato Sofie: 22.04.1893
Fdato Emma: 28.04.1895 (korrigert nå)

Har prøvd å se etter i kirkeboka for Vanse der de er døpt når de reiste. Uten hell!

[dn19075]

Regner med at 1885 er skrivefeil.

Hei og takk for all hjelp. Ser Tonette også er fra Norge. Antar hun er fra Vanse-området hun også. Har kikket litt i bøkene der, samt folketelling og er flere Tonette'r. Vanskelig det der.
men vet du noe om selve emigrasjonen til Tonette og hennes mann Ludvig Torgelson?
