I have discovered how Familysearch Family Tree can have pictures, stories, documents, and sources all attached.  Now I feel like that is the best way to share especially with my ancestor's descendants. So, I have not the need for this blog as much anymore.  I will be working Family Tree at Familysearch, sharing my information.  It may take some time, but I like it.  I like that it is possible...Genealogy has come a long way.   See you at familysearch.org

110/5 Karen Gurine Nielsdatter
The last sibling of Karen Gurine that I have record of is Karen Gurine Nielsdatter, born 5 August 1840 and died 6 August 1840.

The National Archives of Norway, scanned church records, Telemark, Solum: 1833-1843, Parish register (official), birth records 1840, page 70, entry 56, Karen Gurine, Niels Hansen and Anne Olsdatter,  Klovholt, <http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read : accessed 25 January 2013>.

111/4  Johan Andreas Selmer born 30 December 1834.
This is the birth record for Karen Gurine Nelsdatter's older brother, John:

The National Archives of Norway, scanned church records, Telemark, Solum: 1833-1843, parish register (official) birth and baptism records, 1835, page 14, entry 17,  Johan Andreas Selmer,  <http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read : accessed 17 January 2013>.

At the Family History Library in Salt Lake City last month I asked a Norwegian Specialist to help me read it.  

In the 5th column it states illegitimate.  

In the sixth column it gives parentage: a married wife Anne Olesdatter of Klovholt and the stated father of the child, the batchelor, (it gives a crunched name and occupation) Selmer of Christianna (now Oslo).  Her first immorality.  The far right column states that the husband was notified at Paludan (a place in Denmark).

This next record is of his confirmation: Spring class of 1850.

The National Archives of Norway, scanned church records, Telemark, Solum: 1844-1855, parish register (official) Confirmation Records, 1850, page 228, entry 27,  Johan Andreas Selmer,  <http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read : accessed 19 January 2013>.

I'm not sure the where the name Selmer comes from, the father  I guess.

John is the one who had a child in Wisconsin in 1866 named Louis.  This is the boy we find with Karen Gurine, aka Caroline Jacobson in the 1870 and 1880 census records.  Karen Gurine raised her nephew.  He became a plumber in Chicago and had three children.  Mom and Dad had some correspondence with a descendant of his, Irenne F. Gable, in February and March of 2001.  

Ablowin' In The Wind

by Irenne Gable

You ask why I say "Genealogy ain't all that great."  It's because of what I learned about my beloved Grandpa Nelson.

Until very recently this is what I knew about my patriarchal predecessor.  Lewis Hans Nelson was born in Oslo, Norway and his mother died in childbirth.  His father was a Viking,  a Norwegian sailor.  Because of his sailing schedule he could not care for his infant son.  I didn't know my Great Grandfather's name, but because of the way the Norwegian lineage works I figured it could be, probably was, Nels.  Nels had only one relative who could help him, a sister who lied in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 

My Viking Great Grandfather brought his newborn son over the wild and tempestuous Atlantic Ocean shortly after his birth, May 14, 1866 and a dear and loving aunt raised him. There were other questions for which I didn't have answers, hence my reason for delving into the archives.

For instance, I didn't know how and when Grandpa got from Milwaukee to Chicago and started successful plumbing business, a segment of this historical past I was planning to pursue through the wonders of genealogy.  Other missing parts were going to be revealed as well, i.e. "How and where did he meet Grandma Nelson  who had immigrated to America from Sweden to do domestic work, when she was 16 years old."

"So what's the problem?" you ask.  "You've got good substantial starting information."

That's the problem.  Very recently I was startled to learn after receiving a copy of Grandpa's death certificate that he was born in Milwaukee!  It further listed his father's name: John. (Really)  Also after mother's name: unknown.  (No Surprise) But my romantic picture of a stalwart  heartbroken Viking crossing the ocean with infant son was torn asunder.  

As a child Lewis Hans Nelson was my hero.  He was kind, loving and caring to me, his second grandchild, and together we made meaningful memories.  As my family lived next door I  would visit him regularly.  Before he'd take his daily nap I would drop in to make a connection.  At the conclusion of our time, with out fail he would reach into his pants pocket and pull out a nickel for me.  Five cents bought alot of candy back then.

From where I'm at now it seems strange that I never discussed with Gramps his childhood and early beginnings.  Where did I get my romantic Viking rendition?

To prove that the certificate might be in error I called my cousin Millye in California.  She had enjoyed good times with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson when they all lived in the Golden State.  I started to tell her my Viking version, but before I could report the information on the death certificate she stated: "No, that is not what I heard.  Grandpa said he was born in  Milwaukee..  He told me he was an orphan."  She repeated: "He told me he was an orphan, born in Milwaukee."

Like I said in the beginning of this story, currently in my opinion genealogy ain't all that great.  I am purposefully being ungrammatical to stress my unhappiness and disappointment.  However, despite it all ,  I've decided to pursue it and Grandpa through the 1870 census and whatever other avenues present themselves.  Being an optimist and deciding to take a positive attitude I'm considering that I may learn something so interesting it will make my Viking story pale in contrast.

Memories of Grandpa Nelson are my treasures.  I loved and knew him so well having spent very valuable time with him even after my marriage and my children made him a great Grandfather.

My disappointment is not with Grandpa; it is with this new information.  It's taken the wind out of my Viking sails.

Five years later... in the Soren Sorensen family in the 1870 census in Chicago.

We ask what happened to Anne Caroline and notice a new baby Carrie.

1870 census

United States Census, 1870," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M676-PM7 : accessed 23 Feb 2013), Swen Sorenson household, Illinois, United States; citing p. 310, family 2152, NARA microfilm publication M593, FHL microfilm 545705.

Perhaps this interment list will shed some light:

If this Anne M Sorenson that passed away at 1 year 3 months in August 1869 belongs to Anne Margrethe then their second daughter, Anne Caroline, that migrated with them also must have passed away after arriving in America.  It is a fourth daughter, then, that shows up in the 1870 census as Carrie Sorensen born about January 1870.
Also notice, Anne H Sevinson died at age 47 years, 10 months in November 1879.  This matches the age of Anne Margrethe Nielsdatter Sorensen.  So is this person on the interment list the same?  It is in Familysearch as such.
Finally notice the death of Soren Sorenson August 1904, age 77.

Again notice the research that could be done to account for this family in the United States.

migration to Amerika 

Udflyttede 1865 migrating out of Solum, Telemark, Norway [1] 

http://www.norwayheritage.com/p_ship.asp?sh=north

The following is from the above website.  Søren Sørensen, his wife Anne Margrethe and their four children are found on the passenger list entering Quebec that can be looked up on this site.

Announcement from Morgenbladet April 9th, 1865

Passenger accommodation to America. The newly built ship Northcote, owned by Mr. P. M. Petersen and others in Porsgrunn, and is expected home in April, will after unloading probably depart Porsgrunn in the early days of May with passenger for Quebec, if a sufficient number of passengers enrolls. Fees and conditions are negotiated with the undersigned, where enrolling can be done, Skien March 1865, J. Eriksen

The bark Northcote was built in 1864 at P. M. Petersens shipyard in Porsgrunn. She was constructed from drawings by Decke of Bergen. Her burden was about 120 Norwegian Commercial lasts.  She was named after the London brooker-house "Northcote & Co." of London. The Northcote was launched in August 1864, and commenced her maiden voyage to Teignmouth in England. From there she sailed to Swansea where she arrived on December 18th. From Swansea she took freight for Ibiza, and on March 27th 1865 she passed Gibraltar on her way back to Porsgrunn to be refitted for emigrant freight.  She departed from Porsgrunn on May 30th, 1865, carrying 120 adults and some children, all in all 141 passengers.  They arrived at Quebec on July 29th. She departed from Quebec with a load of wood on August 11th for Weymouth in England where she arrived 1 month and a 1 day after departure from Quebec.  From there she sailed for Portsmouth and on to Narva in the Baltic Sea to load timber.  On December 2nd 1865 sailed for Bristol and then on to Bridgewater and Cardiff.  On January 26, 1866 she departed Cardiff for Lisboa, and just off Lisboa (North Catchop) she sank on 15 fathoms depth.  The captain and crew were rescued.  She was mastered by Capt. H> Petersen.  The passenger list is archived by the National Archives of Canada (NAC).

1865 was the first year Quebec kept migration records.  This was the year Karen's sister Anne Margrethe immigrated to the United States with her family.

Karen's brother Ole Nielsen was born 28 February 1829 and baptized 17 April 1829.  [1]  I searched the Archives for Solum for his confirmation record and did not find one.  That is unusual as most Norwegian youth had a confirmation around age 14-15.  That is true even today.  It was required before one could marry in the church.  See -childhood-to-adulthood-norwegian-confirmation-ceremonies or https://www.familysearch.org/node/1247  Ole was 28 years old when he left for Amerika [2] with his 12-year-old sister Karen Gurine and fifty-four-year old father Niels Hansen.  I don't have records for him in the United States. More research could be done here.

110/1 Hans Nilsen
Next I'd like to tell what is known of Karen Gurine's family.  First the family she was born in and then the family she helped create. I think this will keep me busy for awhile.

Karen's parents Nils Hansen age 23 and Anne Olesdatter age 21 were married in Eidanger, Telemark, Norway on 27 January 1826. [1]  Nils brought Karen to America, but the last record we have of Anne Olesdatter is at the birth of Karen in 1845.  I've been searching for her and I'm sure Mom did too at the time of her original research.  I don't know what became of Nils after coming to the United States either...more to search there.  The parish records I have of their children all originate from Solum, Telemark, Norway with the farm name Klovholt.

The first child, Hans Nilsen, was born 7 Feb 1827 [2] and christened 25 Feb 1827.[2]  On 18 April 1841 at the age of 14 Hans received his confirmation[3] and then went to Skein[4] on 10 May 1841.  I have not found him further.  Perhaps the bygdebok Mom has will give me some insight next trip.

55 Karen Gurine Nielsdatter,

Karen Gurine Nielsdatter

aka  Caroline Jacobson (in the USA)

Our immigrant ancestor from Norway

Karen Gurine Nielsdatter

1845-1910

            1. Karen Gurine (Nielsdatter) “Caroline” “Carrie” Jacobson, daughter of Niels Hansen and Ann Olsdatter, was born 2 August 1845 at Klovholt, Solum, Telemark Norway.[1]  She died 16 February 1910 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois[2] and is buried at Mt. Olive Cemetery in Chicago.[3]  She married about 1870 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, Elias “Alex” “Alleck” Jakobsen, a.k.a. Jacobson,[4] son of Jakob Olsen and Marken Halvorsdatter.[5]

            The farm known as Klovholt was (and still is) a rural suburb of Solum.  It is somewhat hilly and lies at the end of a lake called Norsjø. In 1964 Solum became part of Skein.    This is a green, mountainous area full of timber.  Like all of Norway it has impressive fjords and waterways.  Timber is a major export.  Karen was born when Norway was under Swedish rule.  She had the following siblings: Hans born 7 February 1827,[6] Ole born 28 February 1829,[7] Anna Margarethe born 21 January 1832,[8]  Johan Andreas Selmer born 30 December 1834,[9] and a sister also named Karen Gurine born 5 August 1840[10] and died 6 August 1840.[11]  Karen was baptized in the Church of Norway (Evangelical Lutheran) on 25 December 1845[12] and she received the compulsory small pox vaccine 1 September 1846.[13] 

            Scandinavians migrated to the United States as their population and life expectancy increased in the 19th century due to the three reasons the oft-quoted Swedish bishop and poet Esaias Tegne'r gave, “peace, vaccination, and potatoes.”   Norway had not been at war since 1814, the small pox vaccine reduced infant mortality, and the potato was a nutritious supplement to their diets.  With increased population, they had less farm land to inherit and support their families.  The United States was the land of opportunity luring many immigrants.  The Solum Parish records, “Udflyttede,” recorded departures from the parish including name, birth date, destination and date of departure.  On 15 April 1857 the Udflyttede shows Karen Gurine left Solum with her father Niels Hansen of Klovholt and her brother Ole Nielsen for America.[14]  This may be the only record we have of this move as Børge Solem and Trond Austheim write on their Norway Heritage web site,[15] “for the majority of Norwegian emigrants leaving from 1853 up to 1865, there are no surviving passenger lists.”  They also inform us that during this time, “most Norwegian emigrant ships disembarked the passengers at the Canadian port of Quebec.”   Quebec did not start keeping passenger lists until 1865.  The average travel time from Norway to Quebec during this time was 53 days.[16] The route of a typical immigrant from Norway was to sail from Oslo (Christiana) to Quebec.  From there they traveled by rail on the Grand Trunk Railway 673 miles through Canada to Sarnia, Ontario.  At Sarnia, they would cross the river to Port Huron, Michigan, thus entering the United States.  From there travel was typically by steamship through Lake Huron and Lake Michigan to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[17]  Later immigrants had the option of rail travel from Port Huron.[18]

            Karen, like other young single Norwegian girls, found employment as a servant, or housemaid.  Her death certificate indicates that she was a housemaid from 1857 to 1870.   In the 1860 United States Census there is a Caroline Nelson born in Norway, age 17, listed as a servant living with the George Jarvis household in Madison, Wisconsin.[19]  John A. Johnson wrote in Billed Magazin in 1869, for Norwegians considering a move to the United States, the following:

PROSPECTS FOR NORWEGIAN SERVANT GIRLS IN AMERICA

There will always be positions open for able Norwegian servant girls. They are held to be industrious and dependable, and the Yankees prefer them to servant girls of other nationalities. Wages are high: up to $100 per year and at times even higher. We know of instances where servant girls in Chicago earn six dollars per week. This is, of course, exceptional. Norwegian women are highly respected in this country, and I have as yet never heard of any one being idled by lack of opportunity for employment.[20]

Karen Gurine “Caroline” “Carrie”

(Nielsdatter) Jacobson 1845-1910

                                   

            In the United States Karen was known as Caroline or Carrie.  The 1870 census is where we see Caroline, her name as written on the census record, has begun her life with the cooper, Alex Jacobson.  Alex Jacobson was from Eidanger, Telemark, Norway, near where Caroline was from.   He came to the United States about 1865.[21]   In 1870 the young couple lived at 195 Blackhawk in Chicago.[22]  The value of their home was worth $1400.00,[23] probably a result of her saving money earned as a housemaid.  Living with them was Anna Jacobson, their daughter born in March of that year, and four year-old Louis, a relative whom they raised.  It is believed that  Louis is the son of Karen’s brother, Johan or John and that his mother died in childbirth 14 May 1866.  This home on Blackhawk Street was on the boundary of The Great Chicago Fire of October 1871.  When the fire occurred, Caroline was three months pregnant with her second child, James.  He lived only 2 ½  months.  By 1873 the family had moved west across the Chicago River to 93 W Blackhawk.   Five children were born here.  They lived at this location until 1883 when they moved to 182 Evergreen on the corner of Hoyne Avenue,[24] where three additional children were born including a son that lived only nine days.  At this point Alex became a carpenter.  They started building a brand new home at 42 Werder Street near Humboldt Park in 1891.  They lived in this home when their daughter Anna married.  It was here that Caroline’s first grandchild, Anna Matilda Finucane was born.[25]  This house number and street name changed to 500 Crystal Avenue in 1895.   By 1900 two more children, Lillian and James married.  Between Anna and Lillian there were five granddaughters.  In 1901 at 500 Crystal, a sixth granddaughter, Caroline Finucane, lived only a day.  The next decade included ten deaths, three marriages, one divorce, one stillbirth, and five more births in Caroline Jacobson’s immediate family.   The most tragic was the death of her husband Alex in a construction accident on 11 August 1905.  After this, the Jacobson family moved (in 1906) to Sawyer Avenue.  Caroline’s oldest daughter Anne died there 6 October 1906, leaving three daughters, Anna age 13, Lillian age 11, and Mae age seven.   Caroline’s daughter Lillian Anderson died five months later leaving two daughters, Carrie Alice and Pearl Mabel ages 11 and 9.  Caroline took these motherless granddaughters in her home.  The oldest, Anna, remembers her grandmother teaching her about gardening.[26]   Caroline Jacobson died of aortic insufficiency and lung congestion in February 1910.  She was 64½ years old.  She was survived by five children and eight granddaughters.

Exactly which other family members are pictured is unknown

Karen Gurine Nielsdatter and  Alleck Elias Jacobson were parents of the following children, all born in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois:

            i.          ANNA MATILDA JACOBSON, born 27 March 1870,[27] and died 4 October 1906.[28]  She married Daniel John Finucane 17 November 1892 at Saint Sylvester’s Catholic Church in Chicago.[29]  This marriage to an Irish Catholic was difficult for the Norwegian family.  The anti-Irish Catholic sentiments lingered in the family for two generations.[30]  In Chicago, Scandinavian immigrants were the “model ethnic group, eager to embrace American ways…the Irish on the other hand were described as coarse… and hard-drinking.  Rarely did Chicagoans marry across ethnic     boundaries.”[31]  Daniel Finucane was born in Chicago to Irish immigrants.  His mother, Anna (Hackett) Finucane died when he was eleven years old and his father soon remarried.  They lived in the same neighborhood, less than half a mile away from the Jacobson family.  In 1883 when the Jacobson family moved from Blackhawk to Evergreen, the Finucane family moved to Dakota Territory to homestead.  Daniel returned in 1888.[32]  He worked as a telephone operator for the police department.[33]  Their first child (a) Anna Matilda Finucane was born 17 March 1893 at the new Jacobson home on Werder Street.[34]  She married Albert Lindgren 20 Jun3 1914 in Chicago.[35]  They had six children.[36]  They divorced in California.  Anna Matilda Finucane died 11 August 1965 in Arizona.[37]  Their second child was (b) Lillian Nora        Finucane, born 26 January 1895.[38]  Lillian married Elmer Alfred Lindgren 3 August 1914.[39]  They had two children. Elmer died of tuberculosis 19 August 1919.[40]  Lillian went to work as a telephone operator.  Her sisters and father-in-law helped with childcare.  She died 3 June 1944 of heart trouble.[41] (c) Mae Florence was also born at the 500 Crystal Street home on 2 February 1899.  Her birth record states her name as Carrie Jacobsen Finucane.[42]  In June 1900, her father, the census enumerator, writes her name as Mary.[43]  Linda Garrison, a descendant of Lillian, wrote in 2009, “my Aunt Mae was named       Mary at birth, but the aunties back in Chicago didn't like the name Mary because Daniel John helped name her and he was             Catholic.  That didn't set well with them, and they convinced Anna to change the name to Mae.”[44]   Daniel had his wife and three daughters with him in Buffalo County, South Dakota in 1900.  His father had died there earlier in the year    and he and Anna inherited the land he obtained by timber culture          patent.  They sold it on 18 May 1901.[45]  On 29 June Anna was            back in Chicago at 500 Crystal where their fourth child, another daughter, (d) Caroline Finucane was born and died the same day.[46] Anna Matilda Finucane died at her mother’s house on Sawyer         Avenue 4 October 1906.[47]  Her children were with her,[48] but her husband was in South Dakota at the time.[49]

              ii.            JAMES JACOBSON, born 25 April 1872, died 7 July 1872.[50]
