Johannes Haavi Family
IP: 66.234.116.254
Posted on December 7, 2007 at 03:53:21 PM by Donna Erickson

My grandfather, Frithjof, emigrated from Brandbu when he was about 7 years old with two of his 7 siblings. His father was Johannes Haavi (born 1860) and his mother Elina from the Daehlen farm (born 1864 and died 1904). His mother died in childbirth in 1904. When my grandfather was born they lived at Blinken. Sister, Kirsti, and brother Sigurd did not emigrate to America. I am looking for any descendants of Kirsti and Sigurd. Kirsti was born in 1893 and died 11/4/1965 in Roykenvik. Sigurd was born in 1902 and was never married. Kirsti married someone with the last name Amli. She had two children that we know of: Rasmus Amli who lived at Kolbu St, Roykenvik. He married an Odlajor. He has three children: Kjell Ragnar Amli, Brit Amli, and Bjorg Amli. Kirsti's second son is: Erling Amli and lived at Bjorneroa St in Roykenvik. He also was married.

Thank you for the information. I do not read or speak Norwegian, but am able to stumble my way through the interpretation! I can fill most of the blanks that you have. I have heard from the church in Brandbu with possible relatives from my grandfather's sister, Kirsti, and hope that I can establish a correspondence with one or more of the people. Thank you again.

Ulven is the name of a farm in Gran. People typically used the farm name as their last name. Olsdtr is a patronymic - Maria was Ole's daughter. The year on these old trunks is often the year of emigration...but I found no good matches in 1865. I did find a Marie Olsdtr Ulven who left with her parents, Ole and Gjertrud, and sisters Kirsti, Gulline, Julie, and Elise and a brother Ole in 1869. They are listed in the church records leaving the parish on April 19. So the family likely came to America in the spring or early summer of 1869. Don't know if this is the right Maria, but maybe one of the names sounds familiar and will "ring a bell!"   Out Migrant Register

Dear Rose ! 
There are a few candidates who might match the female who had her name painted on your trunk. Do you happen to have any further information on her ? E.g. her approximate year of birth, the name of her possible spouse, the date of her/their emigration, etc. Would Maria Olsdtr. be an ancestor of yours ? 
I’d like to hear from you again; and to receive any additional information that you might have on this matter ! 
Yours sincerely, Kjell M

Bileth Ancestry - Desperate!!!

IP: 72.77.234.92
Posted on June 29, 2007 at 02:21:47 PM by Samantha Bileth
My name is Samantha Bileth. My husband's name is Jason Bileth. His great great grandpa was John Abraham Bileth born September 4th 1874 in Norway. Both of John's parents were Norwegian as well. They immigrated to America in 1885 or 1888 (writing is not very legible on census) He passed away before 1937 so he never recieved a ss# His parents immigrated here when he was 10-18 yrs old or so and he has one brother named Christen Lars Bileth and a sister named Bessie Bileth. I am completely unable to find any information on any immigration passenger list or any other type of document anywhere that gives me any clue on where they came from or what John's parents names may have been. They moved to Michigan when they came to America and one family has moved to Chicago Illinois, Desc. of John Abraham have moved to Florida, but the majority of all of the desc. of all three that immigrated here are still in Michigan. Can anyone please guide me in any kind of direction as to how to find John's parents or where he comes from?????Please and thank you so much for your time! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

I have found information that Abraham Bileth was the father of Lawrence (Leigh) Bileth, who is the father of Jack Bileth -the father of my father-. Does that make us related?

I can't help you much. I do see a Lawrence Leigh Bileth who was born 26 Jan 1906 & died 31 Jan 1995 in Allegan, MI. He was a son of Abraham & Ella Bileth, who lived in Kent County, MI. In turn, Abraham was the son of Ole & Elise Bileth who were living in Kent County, MI in 1910.

These persons are not from Hadeland. They came from Kragero, Telemark, Norway. The key is the information in the US censuses. In two of the censuses he is listed as Abraham Bileth rather than John. Nearby on at least one is a man and woman old enough to be his parents, also from Norway. The woman's name matches the emigration record below. 

Abraham left Norway from Oslo/Kristiania with his mother and 2 brothers in April 1888.

Decent peace of work, Mr. Hopkins!

And here Samantha -

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?show=40&uid=42208&urnread_imagesize=gigant&hode=nei&ls=1

 - you’ll find the marriage of seaman Ole Larsen and maiden Elise Margrethe Abrahamsen on March 19th 1871. As you can see, they were born respectively August 26th 1843 in Bamble, Telemark, and March 3rd 1851 in “Smedsbukten.” Smedbukten, (“the blacksmiths inlet”) which used to be a part of Kragerø town. As you furthermore will see by following Mr. Hopkins’s link above, this is also Ole & Elise’s domicile by the time of Abraham’s birth 1873. Also notice that Ole, as well as all of Abraham’s sponsors were seamen, and seamen’s wives. For some perplexed reason, Abraham at this occasion is referred to as “Abraham Johnsen”; most likely as the consequence of a spelling mistake. 
As at I least didn’t get Mr. Hopkins’s link to (Elise) Margrethe, Amraham, Christian, and Lars’ emigration of April 6th 1888 to function properly, I allow myself to repeat it as follows: 
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=15&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=105204&merk=105204#ovre

If necessary, please take time to rewrite the entire web-address rather than copy and paste. Though cumbersome, this method at some occasions seems to be the most successful one. Even though I haven’t succeeded to manifest it elsewhere, it seems evident from this site that Ole Larsen have emigrated at an earlier point of time. Margrethe is titled “married woman”; indicating that Ole is unquestionably alive. 
Do also pay attention to this link to the 1865 census of Kragerø, Smedsbugten, dwelling no. 16 :

http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=2&filnamn=f60801&gardpostnr=70&personpostnr=420&merk=420#ovre

It lists Elise Margrethe at the age of fifteen, her siblings, as well as her parents; boat builder Abraham Johnsen and his wife Mette Johannesdtr. – born respectively about 1813 and 1815. 
Yours very sincerely, Kjell M.

Christian was the younger brother of my great great grand father John A (Abrahm John) Bileth. The Bileth family name only extends back one generation from there to Ole Larson who had his name changed during immigration in 1888 with his wife Elisa, Lawrence, my great great grandfather John, and the aforementioned Christian. All three children were born in Norway between 1872 and 1882.

Searching for information on my great-great grandparents. Ole & Isabella Myren came from Hadeland and settled in Wis. Ole b. Aug 21 1825 & Isabella b. abt 1826. Their oldest daughter Ingebor (Englslang) was born Sep 27 1857 in Hadeland. Daughter Caroline was born Jul 18 1863 in Wis. So they emigrated between 1857 and 1863. Another daughter Christina was born in 1865 and Isabella died about that time. Does anyone have information about this family?

Johannes Nilssen and Kirsti Christensdatter had two daughters that probably stayed in Norway:

- Margrete. I think she was living alonge in Vingers, Hedmark, in 1900.
- Christianne (Kristianne. I think she married Ole Bredesen, and was living in Gran in 1900.

Does anyone know anything about them after 1900? Did they ever leave Norway? When and where did they die?
Thanks.

Hi
it's 2 years since you posted your request. Since I know a few Bredesen, I just checked on Digitalarkivet at uib.no. Here you can find the census of 1900 also for Gran, Hadeland. I found a Ole Bredesen b. 1875 married to a Kristianne JOhansen b. 1863. They lived at the cotter farm Åsengen, and had two sons Karl b 1896 and Kolbjørn b. 1899. I have not checked further, since they would be Karl Olsen and Kolbjørn Olsen, and probably not related to the people I know. If you look at the scanned churchfiles for the years after 1900, found at the same internet-place, you can probably find if they had more children. I hope this will help you. 
Best wishes
