Edward Johnson's aner

[dn07144]

I have been searching for Norway information about my great grandfather for some time, without success. Recently I have found some new information about him. From a church’s death record:

Name: Ed Johnson Lundvall, (Edward Johnson, American name)

Born April 18, 1855 Norway,

Died November 18, 1931, age at death 76

Old birth date information: 12 Apr 1865 Lundahl, Norway (Bergen, Norway)

I was told his mother was Udna Thorsdr. #35245 Came to America in 1855 Udna THORSDR Sex: Female. Event(s): Christening: 5 Oct 1845 Skaanevik, Hordaland, Norway. Parents: Father: Thor KNUDSEN, Mother: Anna ANDERSDR. Source Information: Type C429182 1828-1848 0124694.

If she was his mother, then she gave birth to Edward when she was 10 years old. If she came to America in 1855, she could have brought her son with her. Who was her first husband. She married Joseph Johnson in 1867.

Joseph’s information: #35246 Jon b. 1839, Amerika (Skåneviksoga 1 p476 & Sk3 p328). Born: Breivik, u. ytre Nes, Skånevik, ref: Sk3 328

Information about Edward’s wife:

Christine (Christina) Everson

Born: ca 1865 (Vikedal), Norway; (Bergen, Norway)

Died: ca 1891 Illinois, USA

Other names found: Christina Eikeschl and

Emma Johnson Christie Everson, b. Bergen, Norway (son’s death certificate).

Possible names for parents of Christine: Olaf & Susan Everson

First child born in Norway:

Angelina "Lena” Johnson

Born: 9 Sep 1881 (Bergen) Norway

Died: 2 Feb 1934, Sandwich, DeKalb, Illinois

This is from Angelina’s obituary:

“born in Bergen, Norway, September 9, 1881, and came to America with her parents when six months old and settled in Big Grove, Kendall County, Illinois.”

If Angelina was six months old, then Edward, Christine, and Angelina came to America about March of 1882.

Fødd i Bergen er sikkert feil.
Det er truleg een annen stad i Hordaland

Hei Torleif!
Er det her i Norge du etterlyser, eller er det familie i Norge du leter etter?
