Gudmund Olson Tananger - Gudmunds hustru - Karen Kolvik?

Ja, det er mye mulig, det. My Heritage oppgir Chistas Tziotas som informasjonsholder ang GOT, og for GO angir My Heritage at det er minst en kilde mer for informasjon. Hvis noe som abonnerer på My Heritage kan bidra, tror jeg svaret blir funnet.

Jeg abonnerer på MyHeritage, men jeg finner ikke noen vielsesattest mellom dem. Men folketellingen 1910 viser at de har vært gift i 9 år på det tidspunkt. Mye stemmer, men det er ikke nok til å konkludere.

Min oldemor brente alle brevene fra Amerika, ellers hadde jeg hatt svaret...

Finnes det noen bilder av Gudmund Olsen Tananger? Jeg har lastet opp vielsesfoto av Gudmund Olsen og Karen Kolvik på Gudmunds profil

I uploaded Gudmund Olsen's Seaman's Protection Application which has his photo on a couple of the pages, and I uploaded Mildred Clerice Olsen's marriage licence.

The application helped, thanks! I also found his passport application which has his father's name.

Gudmund looks so young in the photo, I'll have to upload an interview he did about his experiences as a lumbership captain.

Have a good day.

Gudmund Olsen Tananger's name should instead be Gudmund Olsen Asbjornsen as Tananger is the place in Norway where he was born, which is why I think Geni.com has an error that says Gudmund Olson Tananger has no birth surname. it looks like Gudmund Olsen Asbjornsen is the Grandson of Gudmund Omundsen Myklebust (Osmundson). Geni.com also says Gudmund Olson Tananger has a sibling with the same first name. Ancestry.com only has 5 children listed for Gudmund's father Ola Asbjornsen, these children are Ole Andreas Olsen/Asbjornsen was born on June 1, 1859, Asbjorn Kaver Olsen/Asbjornsen was born on September 20, 1861, Karen Olsdatter Olsen/Asbjornsen was born on June 12, 1867, Odine Arnesen was born on February 18, 1872, and Gudmund Olsen/Asbjornsen was born on March 4, 1877.On Ancesrt.com I don't see Gurina Olsdatter Danielsen (Olsdotter Myklebust) listed, nor the two other siblings listed as private. This doesn't mean these three siblings don't exist.

The name discrepancy is because of the Norwegian naming convention; we didn't have mandated surnames until 1923 and only a few people had inherited family names before then (mostly with foreign roots). Norwegian geneological convention is to put the patronym in the middle name field (we never had a legal concept of middle names), and the farm name in the surname field. Women didn't take their husbands' names, but people did change their farm name when they moved. It is halfway between a name and an address. He would never have been called Asbjørnsen, since that was his granfather's name. When Norwegians/Danes/Swedes emigrated to the U.S. they would have to choose a surname. That would either be their patronym or their farm name usually.

As you can see from the link to his birth certificate I just added, his father was called Tananger when Gudmund was born, because that's where they lived.

Hi Stig

Thanks for the help. I have a question, do the Norwegians have family crests the way folks in England , Ireland, Scotland do, and do these crests change over time or stay the same?

Thanks

ernest

A form of family crest called "bumerke" in Norwegian ("bomerke" in Swedish and Danish). They were used until the 1800s as I understand it. More here: https://www.genealogi.no/wiki/index.php/Bumerke and here: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumerke (in Norwegian, run them through Google Translate).

Hi Stig

Thanks, I believe the bumerke are called ruins in other places, I'll have to see if i can find the one(s) or the Olsen family tree.

have a good day

Ernest

Is there anyway to add the information for Gudmund's son; who was my Grandfather, Ernest Oswald Olsen G9XP-LVX, and that of his three daughters, Clair Annette Olsen-Pierre, Darlene Hecomovich, and my Mother Paula Christine Olsen-Dickinson and so on? Gudmund also had a daughter Mildred Clarice Olsen?

Thank You

Ernest Dickinson

Thanks for the information on bumerke Stig. So while different in appearance, they serve a similar purpose as a coat of arms in England and other countries, or as I believe the way a pattern on a Kilt shows what clan someone is from in Ireland, Scotland, and maybe elsewhere. Is there a way to find out the bumerke used by our family line, has it changed over time and or when someone's last name changes, and or can they indicate places a family line has lived over the centuries.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi Ernest.

In the start of this discussion (in Norwegian) I theorised that Gudmund Olsen Gudmund Olsen (Tananger) might be the same man as Gudmund Olsen Tananger Gudmund Olsen (Tananger) - if you are saying that your grandfather was Gudmund Tananger's son Ernest, then they must be the same? I can merge the two profiles if you confirm this. If this is correct, then your great grandmother Karen Edvardsen married Olsen is the sister of my great great grandfather Lars Thomas Edvardsen Kolvik!

Hi Guys
on
I just uploaded an interview of Gudmund Olsen by he Forest History Foundation, I have an audio interview of his nephew, but it's too long for Geni. When I have more time I will have to see what I can do to make these files available, and will have to convert the transcript i made into PDF files for uploading.

Yes, Ernest Olsen is the son of Gudmund Olsen; only one of his daughters who is my Aunt Darlene Hechomovich is still living, and while her daughter Julia has passed her sone William Hechomovich is still living but has no kids. I believe all the children of Ernest's other daughter Claire Pieri who has also passed away; have all had children. I am the youngest of Ernest's third daughter Paula Dickinson's three kids, as my siblings like my parents have passed away. I hope to discover the descendant on the family tree who are still living, as I hope they can share some history of members of our family so I can incorporate it with the genealogy into a family history.
