Slægt i Amerika

Kirsten Maindal · 21 Nov 2011 - 09:13

Hej Alle.
Jeg har fundet ud af at min Tip Olde Mors Bror Hans Olsen rejste til Amerika sammen med sin Kone og sine Børn. Jeg vil gerne hvis der var nogen der kunne se efter dem i Skibs lister osv.
Det drejer sig om Hans Olsen født 21 August 1840 som søn af Ole Jensen og Hustru Ane Larsdatter Sønderup.
Hans Olsen bliver gift med Kirstine Mortensen født 12 November 1843.
Deres Børn:
Martin Olsen født 1870
Ane Kirstine Olsen født 1873
Marie Olsen født 1876
Jensigne Olsen født 1878
Eleonora Olsen født 1880

Efter 1880 er de rejst, men i 1912 er Hans Olsen tilbage i danmark hvor han dør, men hans Hustru og børn er stadig i Amerika og dette er oplyst via Kirkebogen i Boeslunde.
Er der nogen der kan hjælpe mig med at finde dem?
På forhånd tak
Kirsten Maindal

(Kirstine and children arrived New York 23 April 1883 on ship "Thingvalla)

There is no 1890 U.S. census but this seems to be the mother living with her married daughter Ane in 1900:

1900 Pewaukee, Waukesha County, Wisconsin
Hans Clausen, Sep 1871 Denmark, to US 1885
Anna Clausen, Oct 1872 Denmark, to US 1882, married 3 years
George Clausen, May 1898 Wisconsin
Christiana Olsen, Nov 1844 Denmark, widow, to US 1882

This may be the son Martin:

1900 Polk County, Wisconsin
Martin Olsen, Apr 1869 Denmark, to US 1883, laborer and carpenter
(boarding with a Christiansen family)

Perhaps the father Hans had already left his family and returned to Denmark? It was not unusual for a wife to list herself as a widow if her husband left.

The oldest son Peter was Ole Peder born 26 Feb 1869, but I can not identify him in US censuses: Could he have returned to Denmark with his father?

I also don't find Martin after 1900.

I am fairly certain that this is your George Clausen in the 1930 census.
Name:    George S Clausen
Event:    Census
Event Date:    1930

Father's Birthplace:    Denmark
Mother's Birthplace:    Denmark
Enumeration District Number:    0007
Family Number:    298
Sheet Number and Letter:    13A
Line Number:    26
NARA Publication:    T626, roll 2571

According to an unsourced family tree that I found, George Clausen married Anne Elizabeth Quinn on 4 Apr 1923 in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

Homer Ficken · 22 Nov 2011 - 14:39

Another puzzle:

The 1895 Wisconsin State Census lists only head of household, number of males and females, and number of US and foreign born.

1895 Pewaukee, Waukesha County
Head of Household: Mrs. Christina Oleson
Males: 3, Females: 6
U.S. born: 2, Scandinavian: 7

This confirms that Hans had already left the family, and suggests that 2 more children were born in America:

In the 1900 census Christina listed that she was mother of 10 children, 8 living, but only six children came to USA with her.

Were there older children not at home in the 1880 Boeslunde census?

Hej Kirsten,

Attached is the obituary of Anne Elizabeth Clausen.

Jeg håber lidt på jeres hjælp igen: Ane Kirstine Olsen født Mortensen har jeg fundet i Wiscinsin i 1900 men kunne dog tænke mig at finde hende som død. Er der nogen der vil være behjælplige med dette? I år 1900 bor hun hos sin datter Anne Clausen.
