Steffine Marie Andersen f. 23.09.1879 i Aarstad. Hvordan finne utvandret slektning i USA?

[Ine Merete Baadsvik]

Min morfar sin mor utvandret til Millbrook, USA 10.12.1907. Jeg tror hun reiste videre til Chicago til en onkel. Ifølge kilder giftet hun seg med en farmer, men kildene sier ikke noe om hvor eller hvem.

 

Broren hennes, Gerhard Emanuel Andersen f. 1887, reiste også til USA 13.09.1907. Han skulle også til onkelen.

 

Da hun reiste fra Årstad, utenfor Bergen, het hun Steffine Marie Andersen f. 23.09.1879.

 

Morfaren min, som var født utenfor ekteskap, vokste opp i fosterhjem.

 

Kan noen hjelpe meg videre?

Please forgive me for replying in English. If this is difficult for you to read, perhaps someone on this board can translate this into good Norwegian.

 

Gerhard Andersen arrived in New York City 1 October 1907, and the name of the uncle he was traveling to was John Stenson in Newark, IL (in Kendall County, Illinois - which is also where Millbrook, IL, is located). See NY passenger arrival list at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JX27-LZX

This may be the uncle, in Lisbon Township, Kendall, Co., IL, in 1910 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MKDV-HZX

Takk for tips og lenker Ann-Mary Engum.

[Ine Merete Baadsvik]

Carl-Henry Geschwind, no problem with english. 

 

Thank you for the information. I didn’t know the name of the uncle and where he lived.

[Carl-Henry Geschwind]

Found arrival for Stefanie Andersen, 26 December 1907 in New York City - she is heading to a different uncle, Erik Stensen, at Millington Road in Stendal Co. (probably should be Kendall Co.?). See https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JXLT-P3B

Here is Eric Stenson in 1910 census in Fox Township, Kendall County (which includes both Millington and Millbrook): https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MKDJ-TTR

[Ine Merete Baadsvik]

That must be the right person. The father of Steffine is named Anders Stensen. So Eric Stenson must be his brother.

[Carl-Henry Geschwind]

Think I found her marriage. On 8 Aug 1909 in Newark, Kendall County, IL, Stefina Stinson, daughter of Anderus Stenson (i.e., Anders Stenson) and Severma Olsen (presumably Severine Olsdatter) married Richard Thorson. See https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KFLZ-B8C

 

In 1920 census, Stiffena Thorson (born 1879/80 Norway, emigrated c. 1908) is wife of farmer Richard Thorson in Little Rock Township, Kendall County: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MJ4G-XMT

 

In 1930 census, Staphena Thorson (born 1879/80 Norway, emigrated c. 1907) is wife of farmer Richard Thorson in Little Rock Township, Kendall County: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSYY-H8N

 

In 1940 census, Stefina Thorson (born 1879/80 Norway) is wife of farmer Richard Thorson in Little Rock Township, Kendall County: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KWHR-GK3 (mis-transcribed as Ikarson rather than Thorson)

 

No children in any of the censuses; in 1940 a niece is living with them.

There is an online familytree at ancestry.com that claims she died 4 April 1956 in Illinois, but gives no source (I have not been able to verify this): https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/5660803/person/1922966791/facts

This family tree, incidentally, has lots of information on Steffine's siblings who also emigrated to the U.S.

I am afraid I cannot help there, as I am working from the U.S. Perhaps one of the Norwegians on this forum who is a member of ancestry.com can help you with that.

[Ine Merete Baadsvik]

Ok. Thank you for finding so much for me.
