https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/land/Pages/land-records.aspx Land Grants to Veterans From the seventeenth century, the French and British governments encouraged former soldiers to settle in Canada. Loyalists received land grants after the American Revolution, as did Canadian militiamen following the War of 1812. The Government of Canada followed the same tradition with grants to veterans. The Soldier Settlement Act (1917, 1919) and the Veterans' Land Act (1942) allowed veterans of the First and Second World Wars to purchase land with the help of government loans, with additional funds for livestock and equipment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_Settlement_Board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Soldiers'_Civil_Re-establishment https://canadianhistory.ca/natives/timeline/1910s/1917-soldiers-settlement-act About Canada, Soldier Homestead Grant Registers, 1918-1931 (Ancestry) With the end of the First World War and the troops that would be returning from Europe in mind, Canada’s 1917 Soldier Settlement Act, and its 1919 revision, made land grants and loans available to soldiers. A person who had been in active service during the First World War and who was eligible for a free homestead entry under the Soldier Settlement Act was known as a Soldier Settler. These records consist of single-line register entries noting applications for grants. Entries list name, homestead number, date of application, date of grant, land description, area (acreage), fee, application number, district number, list number, and remarks. The early books also contain reference to the date of first occupancy, the expiry of term, folio general register, and patent reference number. REPORT OF THE SOLDIER SETTLEMENT BOARD OF CANADA, MARCH 31, 1921 https://archive.org/stream/reportofsoldiers00canauoft/reportofsoldiers00canauoft_djvu.txt PURPOSE OF LAND SETTLEMENT LEGISLATION In Canada, agriculture is the basic industry. The opportunities of securing suitable farming land at reasonable cost exist in all provinces of the Dominion, and particularly in the uncultivated areas of the middle west. Land settlement on business lines increases the national growth and prosperity. An important demand arose for land settlement facilities on behalf of returned men. It was, therefore, sound national policy, as well as good re-establishment, to add to the agricultural citizen- hood of Canada as great a number as possible of the best of its manhood, those who had seen active service. Since land settlement of the character and magnitude inaugurated under the Soldier Settlement Act is in many respects unique, it is of interest to refer to some of the underlying principles and safeguards on which the measure of progress so far attained has been based.

Diverre har eit oppslag i bygdeboki ikkje gjeve noko resultat. Anna Bertha Danielsdotter Bjelland døydde som enkje i Flekkefjord 29.1.1890: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/3436/138 Og dødsmelding etter ho i Nes syner at dødsfallet var meldt av dotteri Gjertrud Tønnessen, men hun «efterlader intet»: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/35149/15 So då er det vel ikkje so mykje meir me kan gjera der, med mindre Sophie hadde ugifte søsken som det finst dødsmeldingar etter... Ein ny kjempetakk for framifrå bistand i freistnadane på å komplettera denne biografien!

Samme person som kontaktet Lars ? (se tråd som Ann-Mary la inn i post # 4) - I nevnte tråd er det redegjort så langt det har latt seg gjøre, samt at Lars har gitt råd til barnebarnet om å kontakte ehealth Saskatchewan - se post # 57 Mht. født i North Dakota 1911 - han var etter all sannsynlighet født i Buchanan, SK, CAN (se redegjørelse i tråden til Lars). Det kan være at det finnes en KB som har hans dåpsinnføring i Buchanan, SK - men ikke digitalisert som vi har funnet ihvertfall. Legger ved denne fra FS som gir en oversikt over kirkesamfunn i SK - Saskatchewan Church Records - https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Saskatchewan_Church_Records

Hjarteleg takk til Carsten for siste innlegget! Dødsåret hennar skal vel vera 1890, om eg tolkar dette rett. Her fann eg òg ei dødsmelding etter ho i Nes, men dødsfallet var meldt av dotteri Gjertrud Tønnessen, og ho «efterlader intet»: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/35149/15 Då vert det truleg vanskeleg å finna det endelege provet på at eg har finne den «rette» Sophie Tønnessen (jmf. hovudemnet referert i innlegg #1...). Men kanskje nokon veit råd? Ein ny kjempetakk for framifrå bistand i freistnadane på å finna opphavet til Sophie Tønnessen (Sandvik)!

Correct dob for Mari is July 3rd 1869 SAKO, Drangedal kirkebøker, F/Fa/L0008: Parish register (official) no. 8, 1857-1871, p. 81 Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20051011040837 Confimation Oct. 5th 1884 SAKO, Drangedal kirkebøker, F/Fa/L0009: Parish register (official) no. 9 /1, 1872-1884, p. 191 Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061108320249

Tja, kanskje. Presisjonsnivået i dødsfallsmeldinga avhenger nok av hvor detaljerte opplysninger lensmannen(?) hadde behov for å notere. Hans oppgave var å få notert de rette arvingene, men ikke nødvendigvis mest mulig om dem. Familien kan ha vært godt kjent med hvem Berte var gift med, men lensmannen brydde seg kanskje ikke med å notere det.

Thank you Carl! That's a good piece of information to know, thank you! I have a little cheat sheet for abbreviated words that appear on Norwegian records/census and what they mean. The language barrier has been little fun for me, so I appreciate your guys help so very much. Thank you guys for you help, these two Mari's are indeed the same woman. The daughter of Abraham Jakobsen and Aslaug Johnsdatter. My grandfather now has five DNA matches now that all descend from Abraham's grandparents. It's just a matter of trying to figure out where my family fits in.

Correct. And the thing before that is "Husm.", which stands for "Husmand" - what in English might be called a "cottager", i.e., someone doing farming on a very small plot of land (a status below a full-blown farmer).

This is so exciting! So the current day Hogan's in America have inaccurate information then, Arnold was born in 1899, and his parents married that year. They were married in municipality of Nedre Eiker then, west of Oslo, and not Oslo itself. I'm having trouble deciphering the marriage record. They are listing the father's name of each person correct? It's saying that Mary's fathers name is Abraham Jakobsen?

Takk for linken Ann-Mary. I nevnte skifte etter Arnt Arntsen, så er sønnen Ole oppgitt til å være 10 år, f.ca 1793, en må vel prøve å finne dåpen til denne Ole https://www.digitalarkivet.no/sk20090205650068

Har også funnet det. Har fått et spørsmål fra barnebarnet til Kari Gustava Fredriksdatter Støleggen,. Hun mener at hennes mor fortalte at det det var Magnus Fredrik Andreasen som var far til Carl Victor Wilmer Dahlberg. Magnus Fredrik Andreassen var fra Sverige , han og Kari Gustava Støleggen giftet seg 13 des 1900 i oppdal. Derfor lurer jeg på om man kan finne denne dåpen, til sønnen Carl Viktor i kirkeboka, hvor det står svart på hvitt, hvem som er faderen. Jeg finner Magnus Fredrik Andreassen i 1900 på Akershus Landsfengsel.

Eg les #7 som "Bededagen d 14de Maij blef døbt ved Gran Hans Nielsen Skierstads og Berith Amundsdatters Barn, kaldet Kiersti, faddrene Amund Gul- bransen Hvinden, Lars Hvinden, Hans Hansen Lyne, Anne Lyne, ?? Nielsdatter Houg" "Moderen introduceret d 7 Junij"

Kari Gustava Fredriksdatter/Vilhelmsdatter er datter av Vilhelm Fredrik Fredriksen Stølennen og Anneka Marie Larsdatter Steintin, fra Oppdal i Norge. Disse folka var omstreifere/Tatere,

Yes this is the same Albert Teodor Haugen. This is the only mention I can find of Albert and Mari's first son Arnold Leonard Haugen on DA. It says he was born in 1899, but the date and month of birth also match every record that exists of his in the USA, except for birth year. https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/255/pd00000004971827 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/65758370

Joda, det kan jo være det..

Det kan jo være en borgelig vielse.
