Otto Thomasen

[gj10647]

I am searching for the birth/baptism records for Otto Thomasen born in 1898 in Skien. According to family history he was born on February 8, 1898 and emigrated to America in 1909 with Ragnhild Olsdatter who according to family is his mother.. One story is that the mother was raped - resulting in his birth - and another story is that his father died in a lumber accident in Norway. According to the 1900 census for Gjerpen he is living on the Bøle farm and listed as a foster child, likely to Ragnhild Olsdatter.

Thank you for your help.
