Emigrasjon 1886, hvordan komme videre?

[dn19062]

Jens Olsen og kone Martha Olsen emigrerte 1886.

Digitalarkivet: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... =9507#ovre

Oppgitte fødselsår stemmer ikke med kirkebøker, men det betyr kanskje ikke så mye!

Vet at flere av deres sønner emigrerte til Amerika/Chicago, og etablerte seg.
Men gjorde Jens og Martha det? (Hun ble forøvrig døpt Marte Samuelsdatter, 1823 i Gjerstad. Jens 1825 Gjerstad). Om det er de riktige personene jeg har funnet da!

Noen forslag?

Hei Hans-Christian!
I don't know if this is "your man" (with 2 daughters)...
But I find the following in the 1900 Cook county, Chicago census:
"Jans" Olson age 76, born April 1824...( I can not read immigration year)
daughters Tina (b July 1873..in Illinois) and Julia born May 1883 in Illinois.
"Jans" is a carpenter, and he is a widower (wife has died).

Hello Patty
Thanks for your answer.
But I don’t think so. Children to Marte and Jens:
Aase, born 1855, emigrated 1882 She took the name Essa Nelson. Died 11.09.1924 in Little Sioux, Harrison Co, Iowa.
Anders, born 1857 and Ole born 1859. Don’t know anything about them, but I think they both emigrated.
Karl, born 1866, emigrated 1883, died 26.10.1942 in Chicago. He took the name Charles Holman.

Hei igjen!
OK...so that was the wrong one...
But have you found the son Karl/Charles "Holman" in the census?...sometimes that helps in finding other family members...inorder to find the "new" ones...

So I guess this is Karl in Chicago, 1900 census:
Charles Holman, B. July 1866 immigrated 1883, married to Mary, 5 children all born in Illinois...looks like Charles is a mechanic (hard to read).
Is that right?

and more...
find Thomas Nelson and wife "Essie" in the 1900 Sherman Co, Monona, Iowa census with 4 children, and then later (1910, 1920) they are in Harrison Co (Little Sioux)...
no sign of Jens or his wife, living with their daughter (Essa/Essie)..

Yes, thats right.
Children: Mabel 1887, Seymour 1888, Charton 1894, Artie 1896, Carsten 1898 and (possible Carl 1909).
But Marte and Jens?
