Hi All
My grandmother was Johanne Tolvine Ragnhilde Olsen (or, technically, Konradsdatter). She was born 30 sept 1879 in Tromso and came to Cape Town, South Africa, sometime between 1897 and 1899, and married Svend Ove Halfdan Hansen (from Copenhagen, Denmark) on 24 Dec.1900, in Cape Town.
Her mother was Karen Marie Andersdatter born 1843 in Levanger, Nord-Trondelag, and her father was Konrad Albert Olsen, born 1845 in Tromso. (his father, Eilert Martinus Olsen was born in Bodo, Nordland - my mistake on original message)
I have found a record which states the names of Karen Marie's parents as Anders Jonassen and Janetteregine Jonasdatter. I have no information about them at all. I am keen to establish their BMD details, as well as their other family members, parents, etc. but I just don't seem to be having any success with my online searches. I have hope that someone out there will be able to assist.
with thanks in advance,
Brian Peter Hansen
