Hello to all,
We are just beginning research on my husband's family. Here is the information we have:
His grandfather was Carl Gustav Messke, born in Copenhagen in May 1904-06. He arrived at Ellis Island, New York on the ship Hellig Olav in November 1920. We don't know for sure that he was born in Copenhagen, but that is what he told his children. Sadly, no one knows his parent's names or where they came from. We would love any help or ideas of where to begin.
Thank you so much, Glenn and Wendy Messke
Hi Glenn,
Ancestry lists Carl Gustav Messke on three ship's manifests:
His arrival 1920 on the Hellig Olav was as a crew member, not an immigrant.
On 18 May 1921 he arrived Portland as a passenger on ship Kina from Copenhagen.
He listed Copenhagen as last residence, and nearest relative as mother Marie Larsen. I'm unsure of the address listed for her, so I have attached the image for our Danish friends to view.
The third listing was again as a crew member, arriving Seattle 17 Dec 1923 on ship President Jefferson from Yokohama.
Ancestry also lists him in a 17 Dec 1923 Washington District naturalization index.
EDIT: Also found his attached registration in Copenhagen, and those better skilled at locating the parish for a Copenhagen address should be able to locate him.
In the 1930 Seattle census, Carl 24 born Denmark was married to Mary E. 18 born Washington. He listed 1921 as immigration year and was employed as a painter - auto industry.

Hej Glenn
At www.arkivalieronline.dk you can find the family in census 1921 in Copenhagen at Ålholmsvej 16 (opslag 24)
As you can see there, he has a sister born in Frederikshavn 28.12 - 1898. You can find her birth in Hjørring, Horns, Frederikshavn 1897 - 1902 opslag 144, where you also see his mothers full birthname.
With kind regards
Leif Olesen
Carl's immigration may be unique as it's pretty unusual for an European immigrant to enter the U.S. at Portland Oregon, and the Kina was a cargo ship. Carl's the only "passenger" listed and he's also listed on the first page as a crew member so he "worked his way" to America.
Ella Paula Messke was born 28 Dec 1898 in Frederikshavn to Laura Marie Kristine Dam and barber Otto Messke, who were not then married.
Carl's police registration showed he was born somewhere in Copenhagen 2 May 1905, and I believe the attached registration is his parents, now married. Names and spelling are a bit different, but birthdate of Marie Louise Christine matches that of Laura Marie Larsen in the 1921 census. It shows Otto's birthplace as Sweden, so now you have another country to research!

Attached is the 1921 census that Leif cited.
(English instructions for using the Danish online archives):

Jørgen Fredrik Larsen is the stepfather of Ella and Carl, and the 3 younger children their half siblings.

Here's the July 1899 marriage of Gustav Adolph Otto Messke and Laura Marie Christine Dam, listing parents of both. (Hjørring, Frederikshavn 1897-1902 opslag 94)
[vedhæfting slettet af admin]
Carl Gustav Messke
born 2 may 1905 , Nygaards Sidevej 1,København
baptized 15 october 1905 in Sion Church,København
(Sion,København 1903-1907,Opslag 121)
Ella and Carl had a brother Herman Otto born 17 January 1900 who must have died small (Frederikshavn 1897-1902 opslag 58 no 4)
I don't find his death in Frederikshavn records, so he probably died after the move to Copenhagen
Can't see this has been found in the police registry - Herman Otto Messker: http://www.politietsregisterblade.dk/index.php?option=com_sfup&controller=politregisterblade&task=viewRegisterblad&id=2252144&searchname=polit_simple.

Nice find Lissa, and it's good to learn he was living in 1921! It seems there were as many spelling errors in Danish records as in U.S. records.

Many in U.S. are preoccupied with Christmas plans, church events, shopping, and parties now and perhaps they have forgotten to check for replies. (Is there no option to provide notification when replies are posted?)
Hi Homer,
Of course, I understand. But I would be curious myself, if I had made a posting.
I think that if you click the word "abonner" in the brown box down to the right, which means "subscribe or be notified", you will receive notification about new postings/messages. I haven't tried it myself.

OK, I found it in the 'Instructions for the New Forum' at top of board:
http://www.slaegtogdata.dk/andet/forum-help-english
'You have some extra options when you write a message. Click on Øvrige funktioner (further options] and these posts appear:
Abonner på svar: Mark this if you want to get a mail whenever a new message is posted to the thread.'
(It must be done at the time you post a message, and I have just done so with this one)

Yeah!

Homer and Lissa (and all others who gave so generously of their time and talent),
We can't even BEGIN to find the proper words to thank you for the wonderful gift you have given us. We never thought we would be able to find any of Glenn's relatives from Denmark. Imagine our complete joy and surprise when we logged in and found all of your replies and the information that we never thought was possible to find. We truly feel as though we have won the lottery. Thank you all for giving us a legacy to pass on to our children. We are hoping that by finding some of Glenn's family we can learn more about ourselves (do our children look like Glenn's ancestors or does my oldest son's height come from Glenn's ancestors? and many other questions or other stories we may learn of their lives.)
Any ideas of how to find living relatives? We live in Europe and would love to meet any of them. If this is not possible, we will be glad just to be able to visit the cities where Glenn's family come from.
I have had a hard time posting this message, but am indeed on Facebook under Wendy Messke and Glenn is listed as Dave Messke (his middle name). We would love any advice on where to go from here and advice for how to find some of the information, or any other information you think would be helpful for me to research. I am new to genealogy, but determined to find everything I can.
Homer, I haven't received any messages, but would open to receiving any tips you could offer through Facebook.
Thank you all so very much,
Wendy (and Glenn) Messke
Hi,
Good to hear from you. But I don't understand why you are having a hard time posting a message, as you write?
On the free Danish telephone directory www.degulesider.dk you will find a few people with the lastname Meeske. Could be??

To trace the Messke side of the family looks difficult: Carl's father Gustav Adolph Otto's marriage lists his parents as Gottlob Hermann Messke and Pauline Augusta Uhlich of Jüterbog in ____? I don't recognize the second word but there is a Jüterbog southwest of Berlin.
And, Gustav Adolph Otto Messke's Copenhagen registration listed his birthplace as Gothenburg, Sweden.
[vedhæfting slettet af admin]
Hi Homer,
Guterbog, Prossen, most likely Prussia. Their churchbook through 1882 is available through the Family History Centers. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C0%2C0&titleno=208881&disp=Kirchenbuch++
Taking a look at the Copenhagen Police Register, it only says Gøteborg and not Sverige. I suspect when Gustav told the police Guterbog with a German accent, they heard Gøteborg. I think he was born in Prussia and not Sweden.
Sincerely,
Paul
Hej Homer and Glenn
The missing word is Prøjsen = prussia .
And Gustav was a weaver ,that could be usefull,
MVH
Merete Bay Nielsen
Taking a look at the 1921 census for Aalhomvej 16, København, opslag 24, I found that Laura Marie is married to Jørgen Frederik Lassen. From the dates of birth of the Larsen children it would seem that Gustav Messke died sometime before 1911.
Sincerely,
Paul
We do not sleep Paul,It's just very early here in Denmark.
Gustav Adolph Otto Messke's is a very German name so it is my commandment, clearly Germany. ;)

It is late here in North Carolina, USA but I did find the birth of Kaj Søren Dam Larsen to frakilt (divorced) Laura Marie Christine Messke Dam and Jørgen Frederik Larsen, David, Sokkelund, København, 27 Jul 1911, opslag 125 nr 107. Unfortunately I cannot read the rest of the record.
Sincerely,

Jørgen Frederik Larsen and Laura Marie Christine Messke født Dam were married 22 Dec 1911 in København Magistrate, David, Sokkelund, København, opslag 74 nr 84. As far as I can read Laura Marie Christine and Gustav Adolph Otto Messke were divorced on 17 Feb 1911.

Of course you are correct Paul! I was looking at the website's text to the right of the image:
Hovedperson
Gustav Adolph Otto Meske , 31-1-1876 , Sverige, Göteborg

But the marriage record does clearly read Jüterbog, not Guterbog, so is the FHC listing same place? If I search map sites for Guterbog they take me to Jüterbog:

I just checked the Database of citizenship awards 1776 - 1960
but nobody seems to match Gustav Adolph Otto Meske.
I've tried various combinations.

Hi,
The marriage record clearly states Jüterbog in Prøjsen (Prussia) .

Thank you all who have helped us! You have given us an amazing gift. We hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a New Year full of joy and good health. I would love to know how you all find information so quickly....I am in awe.
Lis, do you think that maybe he Gustav Adolph Otto Messke returned to Prussia (Germany) after divorcing Carl Gustav Messke's mother? Can anybody guess why he, as a barber, might be in Northern Denmark? I could understand if he were in a seagoing occupation. Guess some mysteries might remain a mystery.
- Wendy and Glenn Messke
around 1919 when North Schleswig became Danish all who lived in northern Schleswig (Åbenrå, Tønder, Sønderborg, Haderslev amter) at the time could apply for Danish citizenship and that was what I was looking for, but many are not in the database, not even my relatives.
Here is the link fore it, but its on danish.....the top is about work permits and the lower is the citizenship award .....
http://www.ddd.dda.dk/immibas/htm/immibaslink.htm
we have also an emigrant database, but I can not find him .....
http://www.emiarch.dk/search.php3?l=da
Did He perhaps have a particular religion, I'm wondering if maybe he was a Mormon, as in North Jutland was a "great" congregation of Mormons .... it was just something that just occurred to me.
it can also be that he knew one in North Jutland and therefore went there ore that the work he was looking fore where there.
if he is taken back to Germany, I can not say from what I have found / or not found, so far.

Hey again.
You can find the seperation between Gustav Adolph Messke and Laura Marie in the AO. Choose "Andre arkivalier" and "Københavns Overpræsidium" and SJ-journaler year 1907 case 418-849 opslag 140. The final divorce is in 1910 case 701-1050 opslag 221.
It states that he has left the country between 1907 and 1910, but not whereto.
I cannot read it all, but perhaps someone else can better read the handwriting.
With kind regards
