Emigration from northwestern Norway to South Africa

History Portal Blog Archive As Gjendem: Boer War
Emigration from northwestern Norway to South Africa's old news, and not unusual. jГЎtГ©kboltok However, the drug begins for the Norwegians of being distant history, after the great utvandringsbølga culminated with utbrottet of World War 1 in 1914. Order to begin to take an example from his own family, I refer to a book by Sverre Lyngnes " Dalsfjord - the village - farm and nation "(1967). Here we read on page 60: "Peder Pedersen Helset, married Sicilie jГЎtГ©kboltok Pedersdtr. Bjørkedal, had consumption (Brown # 4 Hoggåsen) handed down by their parents, 18 March 1881; a heavy day of rain, came a snowdrift and took Sicilie. jГЎtГ©kboltok It was immediately submitted jГЎtГ©kboltok to the barn, but Sicilie was dead when they found her. Peder sold as farm on 30 May 1882 to Ola Olsen Høydal Suresnes and traveled to Africa. The zone Peder traveled to Africa together with his father. " Their subsequent fate of the African continent I have not investigated.
As an alternative to the first choice, which was the United States, was South Africa also applicable for Romsdal with wanderlust, not just those who left the country because of destitution and poverty. Somewhere I read that the Molde panorama graced the back of the sacristy of a church in the Transvaal. Nils Parelius also set the imagination statements in historical records tier article "Letter from Molde in 1820-1830's jГЎtГ©kboltok Johan Wichberg and Knut Andreas Bjørset" (1980 p 139). Here he writes that "Beate Antonette Bjørset, born in Molde, 12 October 1845. Died 8 December 1923. She was 14 October 1872 married to former lawyer in Molde, Ole Jørgen Randers Christopher. Birth 1 November 1845, died in Molde February jГЎtГ©kboltok 14, 1898., He was chief of police in 1890 in Bodo, but took leave about a year before jГЎtГ©kboltok his death and moved back to Molde. His father, Christian August Randers, was from 1868 to 1887 pastor of Bolsøy and Dean of External Romsdal.
There were four daughters and three sons in marriage. The eldest daughter, Sigri (d) married station manager of Molde, Ingvar Schroder-Nielsen, known for his book "Among the Boers in peace and war" (1925), which I quote from. Eystein Randers (1875-1942), participated in the Boer War, the Boer side, and later lived in the United States, where he died, married but childless. - Aslaug Randers (1882-1940), ran in his time Moldes only and first lady hair salon. Gunnar Randers (1877-1963), chief engineer, married with Magna Fernanda Brodtkorb. Their son is a nuclear scientist, Gunnar Randers born in 1914, thus the grandson of lawyer Knud Andreas Bjørset. Another grandson of him is Arne Randers Heen. It is therefore only by lawyer Bjørset youngest daughter is currently living generations. " So hardly prosecutor servers facts that may seem puzzling at uninformed readers.
Arouses amazement investigating the soul, then it went over to langsiktigere action, and I took my Danish sources that led Randers-kin back to the 1600s to a city manager in Randers in southern Jylland. Beate Bjørset and a daughter jГЎtГ©kboltok lived in Molde census for Molde 1900. Nevertheless evaporate Randers family eventually trace from the church jГЎtГ©kboltok records for Molde with the ceremony to Ingvar Schroder-Nielsen jГЎtГ©kboltok and Sigri (d) Randers happened in 1905. Though family history may allow the document easier to present than a hundred years ago, it looks as if the two svogerne Ingvar Schroder-Nielsen (released from Bermuda) and Eystein Randers (released from St. Helena) came back to Molde in 1902, or the year after, to meet family and friends jГЎtГ©kboltok after the release of the melancholy their English camps. Common fate led Ingvar and Øystein along the Norwegian Emigrants. Perhaps stayed Ingvar and family around 1925 in Lillesand jГЎtГ©kboltok or Horten.
Ingvar Schroder-Nielsen African autobiography constitutes a unique source jГЎtГ©kboltok material. The book he takes pains to establish an objective and buttoned style. There is no room for boasting or overly bombastic terms. jГЎtГ©kboltok The young surveyor recalls his Africa as sweet as the Danish writer Karen Blixen nobility, and he makes himself warm thoughts jГЎtГ©kboltok about his Boer friends and their harsh fate under colonial tyranny. In the best tradition of being the author Bible-believing peasant actors character quite provincial and somewhat innocent everyday heroes. War experience jГЎtГ©kboltok they acquired during zulukrigene. In the preface he says that the book was written by the records he made during his British prisoner of war and immediately after his return to Norway. In 1902 there were communications jГЎtГ©kboltok with family and homeland failed in more than two years, although he had tried to smuggle out letters through intermediaries. With 25 years of distance are many events from the Boer War, of course, half forgotten and to some extent distorted. Hunting adventures abound. The ideal is also to protect the privacy even though they both svogerne had been able to be proud of admiring comments from the Boer leaders during the so-called 2nd Boer War. The author is becomingly modest in the analyzes and facts descriptors.
A few years ago I got an unexpected one inq
