I received a question about an old picture presented in a Facebook group. When I visited the website I also took a look at the other pictures there. I was in for a big surprise.<\/p>\n

My friend and distant relative Joyce asked me about a picture she had found\u00a0on\u00a0Tresfjord Museum’s Facebook page. In order to answer her question I went to the page and looked at the picture.\u00a0After I was done I had a look at the other pictures presented there. At one of them, I jumped in my seat.<\/p>\n

The picture show a house in the village of Tresfjord in what is now the municipality of Vestnes in M\u00f8re og Romsdal county. Many of my ancestors came from Tresfjord so I knew this particular house. The picture is supposed to have been taken about 1905.<\/p>\n

The house was built right before the year 1900. The owner was Petter Elias Petterson Marken (b. 1860). According the 1900 census he lived there with his wife Olave Pettersdatter (b.1873) and daughter Ingeborg (b. 1898). Petter and Olave were teachers in the public school in Tresfjord. They were cantors in the church and ran a small farm on the side.<\/p>\n

The house is built in so-called “Swiss chalet style” characterised by widely projecting roofs and facades richly decorated with wooden balconies and carved ornaments. We can see this fits well with this house. The style was popular in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Scandinavia in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.<\/p>\n

We must assume that it is Petter and Olave with their daughter Ingeborg who is to the left on the balcony. In both the 1900 and 1910 censuses there are female servants listed. It is reasonable to think that the woman in the white blouse might be one of them.<\/p>\n

\"utsnitt-markenhuset\"The reason I jumped in my chair when I saw this picture, is the family to the right. Having studied them closely and considered what I know about our family history, I am certain that this is my Great-Grandparents Karoline and B\u00e5rd Eidhammer. The child on Karoline’s arm is their daughter Hilda (b.1903). The boy standing in front of them is my Grandfather Martin (b.1901). (Their son Alf was born April 1905)<\/p>\n

Karoline was born in the town of \u00c5lesund in 1872. B\u00e5rd was born the same year in the village of Tresfjord. Sometime in the 1890’s B\u00e5rd went to \u00c5lesund to be trained as a cobbler. I am planning to write more about this family so I am just going to cut this short by saying that Karoline and B\u00e5rd married in 1898 and went on to live in \u00c5lesund. In the 1900 census they lived in a rented house”by the town park”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bard-eidhammer\"\"karoline-olsen-eidhammer\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some studio photos of B\u00e5rd and Karoline. These are taken in \u00c5lesund about the time of their marriage<\/p>\n

The night between January 22. and 23. 1904 the center of \u00c5lesund was ravaged by a big fire. The home of B\u00e5rd and Karoline burned.<\/p>\n

Here we can see parts of the sorry remains of the town center. B\u00e5rd and Karoline, along with thousands of other people, all made homeless by the fire, had to flee through the burning town. They carried their children and the few belongings they had been able to grab, and ran for safety.<\/p>\n

On foot, by carriage or maybe by boat, they made it to B\u00e5rds family in Tresfjord. Very soon they were able to rent accomodations in the house of Petter and Olava Marken. This was very convenient as B\u00e5rd could have his workshop in the basement. The main road through the village was right in front of the house. The village general store and pier was close by. It was an excellent location for a shoe-repair shop.<\/p>\n

The 1910 census confirms that B\u00e5rd and Karoline still lives at this location. The next year they bought a small farm in Vikebukt and moved there.<\/p>\n

Finding this picture was pure luck. As there was not many pictures taken in the early 1900’s I consider this a true treasure.<\/p>\n
