How do I go about finding an ancestor who imigrated from Sweden to Norway?

MyHeritage children of Adam. (again my disclaimer of accuracy)

I FULLY understand your hesitancy with MyHeartiage disclamer. The good news is 3 of those children have an original source to a Norway record, which I've sourced. I didn't see a Mina Johansen on there--but as you and I know, that doesn't mean she doesn't exist. I'll keep searching. Thank you for your help today!

@Trevor K Hanson​  New record, christening of Mina daughter of Adam. Born 19 December 1899 in Eidsvoll, Norway entry #31. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/2921/190

Sorry, no photo of Johan Fredrik.

@Shari Duce​  Could you tell me if you are using a search feature on Digitalarkivet.no or are you searching by parish and years? I'm leaning on what I know from Swedish records of how to find families. Meaning for Swedish records I would find their parish and search by parish records and years to see when they moved, married, died, etc. Follow the person and not able to use broad search features. Difficult.....

 

I'm very interested in finding actual death dates of all 4 children. We now (Thanks to you and others) know 2 of them lived to be adults, as noted by their possible photos and that Fritz married. I'm trying to learn how to search Norway records to find details of their deaths, marriages, etc. Thus my ask.

 

Thx.

@Trevor K Hanson​ I struggle searching with Digitalarkivet so I just go to the parish I'm interested in. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/kb/browse MyHeritage Family Trees has death for some of your people. I'm happy to help with those or you can visit a local Family History Center for free access to MyHeritage. When you search, use limited information such as the county and parish, then filter the year and record type you are seeking.

Well....1st) I should just get a subscription for a month or two. Well worth it....

 

but

 

Let me see if I can find any death records in searching by parish. If I do I'll let you know and you can see if it matches up to what is in MyHeritage.

 

Sound like a plan? This way I enable myself and become less dependent on others. I LOVE all this help; I just need to get better at doing it myself too!

@Trevor K Hanson​ Astrid married Oskar Stråt https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L7NN-5WP

I see you merged her record. What was slowing me down is I had all of the children's last name as Adamsen and not Johansson. That darn patronymic system...

Shari Duce

I love, love, patronymics. Your family should have both names of Johansson and Adamsen because they are seen with these names in the records. (Sweden and Norway). I suggest including one or the other in the "Other information" under alternate name. A slight correction needed for Fritz, change to Fritz Leopold (add an "e).

Trevor K Hanson

So this is getting really confusing for me. Astrid(Norway) married Oskar Strat (Swedish). They had a daughter Eva Sofia but the record says she was born in South Africa but has lived in Sweden. I would guess something isn't right--unless families did become mobile back then.

Trevor K Hanson

I've corrected it. Someone didn't see that it was referencing South Africa. It was messing up some of my searches.

Shari Duce

I don't know the Swedish records but I see a residence of Kristinehamn is attach in the FS tree.

The titles on each image actually give a good reference to get back to original images on any of the databases they are at. I got them originally for ArkivDigital.
