Here is my contribution to the #52ancestors challenge. This week the theme is Longevity<\/p>\n

This week I want to introduce you to my 2G-Grandfather Markus Olsen Moldenes.<\/p>\n

He was born november 20. 1833 on the cotter’s place Moldeneset by\u00a0<\/span>the small town of Molde on the north-west coast of Norway.His parents were Ole Pederson and Mette Maria Pedersdotter. Markus was the youngest of 6 siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Molde had at that time a small merchants fleet and Markus’ father was an Able seaman. Markus did also go to sea at young age. In the main seaman register 1846((SAT, Sj\u00f8innrulleringen – Trondhjemske distrikt, 01\/L0330, 1846-1860, p. upaginert
\nQuick link: https:\/\/media.digitalarkivet.no\/en\/ru20100923630217)) it is recorded that he served as an Able seaman on the ship Thessen sailing to England.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1864 he appears in \u00c5lesund((SAT, Ministerialprotokoller, klokkerb\u00f8ker og f\u00f8dselsregistre – M\u00f8re og Romsdal, 529\/L0452: Ministerialbok nr. 529A02, 1864-1871, s. 169

\n)), a town somewhat to the south of Molde. Nov 15 1864 he marries((SAT, Ministerialprotokoller, klokkerb\u00f8ker og f\u00f8dselsregistre – M\u00f8re og Romsdal, 529\/L0452: Ministerialbok nr. 529A02, 1864-1871, s. 104

\n)) Nicoline Marie Knutsdatter Buholmstrand born Feb 7 1845. He seems\u00a0 to leave sea for good and start his second career as a ship carpenter. He also start another career…as a father.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicoline and Markus’s children did send their parents a number of letters and postcards after they left home. This is the source for the most of the information I got about them.<\/p>\n

Nicoline and Markus’ first child Olufine<\/strong> was born in 1865. Of her I know nothing. Around the turn of the century I believe she spent some time in Oslo, the capital of Norway. I have been wondering whatever became of her. It is kind of strange that she is not mentioned in any letters\/postcards. She was a witness to my grandfather Martin’s baptism in 1901.<\/span><\/p>\n

Louise<\/strong> was born in 1868. She did never marry and lived with her parents in \u00c5lesund. She ran the household for her father after her mother passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johanne<\/strong> was born Nov. 22. 1869 in \u00c5lesund, Norway. She married Jacob Gabrielsen, born May 23 1864 in Troms\u00f8, Norway. They stayed for a while in Blyth, England before they moved to Seattle, WA. USA. Johanne and Jacob had two daughters: Clara, born Oct. 30. 1903 in Blyth England, and Minnie, born Sept. 15. 1909 in South Shields, England. Clara passed away in 1983. Minnie died in the fall of 1998 in Portland, Oregon. Thanks to friends I have made on the Internet, I have been able to find Johanne and Jacobs descendants. .<\/span><\/p>\n

Karoline Elise<\/strong>, my great-grandmother, was born Jan. 11th 1872. she married B\u00e5rd Gerhard Eidhammer and settled in Vestnes, Romsdal. At the time of Karolines birth Markus must have been at the peak of his career as a ship carpenter. It is reported that he and a partner built a sailwessel “Tjuren” to be used in the fisheries
\non the Norwegian banks. The man who ordered the boat was one K. Bj\u00f8rseth, who was a prospering merchant in \u00c5lesund at that time. It is interesting to note that\u00a0Bj\u00f8rseth, along with several other prominent citizens of the town, are listed in the church records, as witnesses to Karolines baptism. Karoline and B\u00e5rd had three\u00a0children Martin, born 1901 (my grandfather), Hilda born 1903.(She lived in Oslo), and Alf, born 1905. Alf emigrated to USA when he was 18 years old. He spent the\u00a0rest of his life there. He, his wife Lilly and son Roy lived first in Brooklyn, later on Staten Island.<\/p>\n

Herman<\/strong> was born Dec 17th 1873. I believe he went to sea. I have no concrete information on Herman except from the fact that he visited family in Seattle, Wa in 1907. Oluf wrote in a letter “Herman came up to see us last week-end” Herman supposedly changed his last name to Gordon and made a living being a proffesional boxer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Pauline<\/strong> was born Dec. 26th 1875. She was married to goldsmith Jens Thoresen. Anna died in 1904. They had no children. Thoresen remarried.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oluf Mathildus<\/strong> was born Nov 6th 1877. I believe he went to sea. He moved around and worked as a carpenter before he settled in Seatlle, WA. He died Jul 4th 1965.\u00a0He was married to Karen, born 1883 in \u00c5lesund. She died 1964 in Seattle WA. They had, as far as I know, no children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ludvika Margrete<\/strong> was born Sep 27th. 1879. As I thought I had found all Markus’ children Ludvika suddenly appeared in the church records of \u00c5lesund
\n(Don’t get me wrong: I realize that she must have been there all the time). Ludvika passed away in 1883 four years old.<\/p>\n

Mindor<\/strong>\u00a0 was born in 1883. I have not been able to find any records on him. I know he traveled with his brothers in the USA. Aug 28 1907 he was in Seattle,WA.
\nHe was a fisher and was lost at sea in 1909.<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin Mathildus<\/strong> born 1885. He was usually called Mathildus or Thildus. He went to sea before and went ashore in the USA and traveled along with his brothers Oluf and Mindor. They took various jobs. All of them seems to have been trained in carpentry as they often worked at shipyards. Mathildus settled in Seattle where he married Betzy. They had one son: Clarence who married Helen. Mathildus died Sep. 30th 1963. Betzy (also born 1885) died in 1962. As far as I know Clarence and Helen had no children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Norman\u00a0<\/strong>was born 1888 and died 1890.<\/p>\n

Norvald\u00a0<\/strong>was born 1890 and died 1894.<\/p>\n

Throughout these years Markus experienced several ups and downs. The vessel he built in 1872 seems to be the only one he built from keel to top mast, but he had a repairyard. He also worked at several shipyards in \u00c5lesund.((Kjell Skorgevik: Om skip og skipsverft, om engler, navn og torg i \u00c5lesund, samt Aalesunds museums \u00e5rsmeldinger for 1987, 1988, 1989 og 1990 | forlag = Aalesunds museum | url = http:\/\/urn.nb.no\/URN:NBN:no-nb_digibok_2014022008181 | side =39)).<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1901 Markus was a witness at the baptism of my grandfather Martin’s baptism.<\/p>\n

Markus’ wife Nicoline died Okt 29 1903.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1904 he had to fly from his home as it burned in the big city fire. Markus lived in the street “Torvgaden\/Torvgaten” I have not been able to determine if his house is on this picture. Note the chimney at the end of the street. We’ll use it for reference in the next picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

On January 23. 1904 \u00c5lesund was ravaged by a big fire.\u00a0 It spread rapidly and destroyed almost the whole city centre, built mostly of wood like the majority of Norwegian towns at the time.<\/p>\n

All the houses in Torvgaden was destroyed by the fire. Markus then went back to Molde and lived for some time in the home of his nephew (Who ironically was the the fire chief of Molde). A large rescue operation was set in motion. The\u00a0<\/span>German emperor Wilhelm II\u00a0had been a frequent visitor to the area and expressed a personal concern for the plight of the population. A lot of the international aid was on his initiative. The street that was named Torvgaden was renamed Emperor Willhelm’s street in the “new \u00c5lesund”<\/p>\n

Already the next year Markus is back in \u00c5lesund, working at “Steinv\u00e5gen Skibsverft” (Ship yard). The insurance sum for his house in Torvgaden was 5540 Norwegian Kroner.\u00a0 After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in\u00a0Jugendstil<\/a>\u00a0(Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. It was compulsory to use stone in the city center. This being an expensive material Markus decided to put his insurance money into a large wooden home in Steinv\u00e5gveien 46 a little outside the city center. The house is still there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the census in 1910, Louise and Mathildus are the only children of Markus who still live at home.<\/p>\n

In 1916 Markus sells his home in Steinv\u00e5gveien46. It seems like he and daughter Louise moved to Sundgata 3 in \u00c5lesund.<\/p>\n

Markus dies January 31 1929 at the age of 95.<\/p>\n

This is how \u00c5lesund looks today from the viewpoint Aksla\"\"<\/p>\n
