Here is my contribution to this weeks 52 ancestors in 52 weeks challenge: Surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I first got started in genealogy, I was looking for my 2nd Great Grandfather whom I knew lived in \u00c5lesund, M\u00f8re og Romsdal county. That and his name; Markus Olsen, was the only thing I knew about him. Well, I knew he had some sort of connection to Molde, the town I live in now. I just didn’t know what it was.<\/p>\n

As some of you will have noticed, I am a psychiatric nurse and work full time as such.<\/p>\n

At the time I was struggling to find Markus Olsen, I was sitting with a patient that needed continuous supervision. I sat in a little nurse’s station adjacent to the patient’s bedroom. Someone had left a book here. It turned out the be the history of the fisheries on the coast of M\u00f8re og Romsdal (title Folk ved Hav) by Bjarne Rabben. While still keeping watch, to pass the time, I started to leaf through the book.<\/p>\n

While the fisheries on the coast up until about the 1860s had been performed in small open boats, they now started to build larger sailing vessels. It was a boom in \u00c5lesund as everyone wanted to invest in a so-called “bank sk\u00f8yte”.<\/p>\n

Stopping to read a little bit about this development, I noticed a small paragraph:<\/p>\n

In 1872 Mads Trondsen and Markus Molden\u00e6s build a “banksk\u00f8yte” in Steinv\u00e5gen (\u00c5lesund) where they had an improvised shipyard. The vessel var beautiful and well built and were to be used in the cod fisheries with a Swedish crew<\/div><\/div>\n

Then and there I knew that this was my 2nd Great Grandfather Markus Olsen Molden\u00e6s. I knew that Molden\u00e6s\/Moldenes was a cotter’s place here in Molde and I could start to look for his birth information.  I later found out that Markus was born here Nov 20, 1833.<\/p>\n

Markus Olsen Molden\u00e6s’ daughter Karoline, my Great Grandmother was born in 1872 and it turned out that the person who was buying the vessel Mads and Markus built, K Bj\u00f8rseth was one of the sponsors at Karoline’s baptism.<\/p>\n

Bj\u00f8rseth is also a name from Molde, so Markus and he might have known each other from their youth.<\/p>\n

After having searched so long for Markus Olsen, you can imagine that it was a big surprise<\/strong> to find this information in a book someone had left behind on the desk at the nurse’s station.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
