- Searching for ENGH family information. My G-Grandfather Hans Kristian ENGH
was born about 1853 in Nannesatd, Ackershus, Norway. He may have taken the EN
GH name from a farm, perhaps Enger.
I have found him in the 1887 thru 1900 Oslo (Kristiania) City Directories.
He was married first to Trine Helene HANSDATTER, from Aas, Ackershus,
Norway. They had at least 5 children: Also found them in the 1900 census in
Oslo.
1. Victor ENGH - b. 1885, Kristiania
2. Sverre ENGH - b. 1887, Kristiania
3. Ebba ENGH - b. abt. 1893, Kristiania , emmigrated to Minnesota, married
Joseph JENSEN (later CONRAD).
4. Helen Aagot ENGH (later MOORE) - b. 1894, Kristiania, This is my
Grandmother. She lived for a while with her aunt, Anne Kirstine
(HANSDATTER) GUNDERSEN in Moss, Ostfold, Norway before coming
to the U.S. in 1905 where she was adopted by a MOORE family. She
was educated in Aberdeen, SD and taught school there at least 1 year.
She later moved to Minneapolis and sent for her sister, Ebba. She
married Daniel Bolstad JENSEN (later CONRAD), the brother of Joseph
(who married Ebba) That's correct, brothers married sisters in a double
ceremony. Daniel and Joseph JENSEN (CONRAD) were from Drobak,
Ackershus, Norway and emmigrated to Minnesota about 1909.
5. Lilly ENGH - b. abt. 1897, Kristiania
When their mother, Helene died; Victor, Sverre, Ebba, and Lilly were raised
in an Orphanage at Latvik, Vestfold, Norway. Hans Kristian ENGH eventually
remarried.
Here's hoping someone can add to my knowledge of the ENGH family. Also I am
still looking for paintings by my grandfather, Daniel B. CONRAD. Anyone in
Minneapolis, MN or Eau Claire, WI know of any? They are plentiful in both
areas.
