[#5937] Christinia Chief of Police

[Gjest Ralph Peterson]

My wifes great-grandfather, Hans P. Paulsen, is reported to have served as chief of police in Christinia. We are trying to find out when that happened. He was born abt 1853. Is there anything on-line we can look at or where in Oslo could we look. TKS for your help

You can find Hans Peter Paulsen, born 1853, in the 1900 census for Kristiania. His occupation was then "politibetjent" (police sergeant).
