I first apologize for requesting this in English, my Norwegian is very
shaky. Please feel free to respond in Norwegian, I can translate so much
better than write. I am seeking the history of my g-g-great grandmother.
This is a vaccination letter that one of cousins has had for years. My
problem is that on her marriage certificate she calls herself Marie
Fagerli. DOB 04/10/1871 in Kristiansund. I can't even find her parents
on the 1801 Census, or why her last name isn't Lemingsen. She isn't on
any emigration list either, nor her parents. Any scrap of information
would be so very appreciated. All I can say for sure is that she had a
sister Olena or Lena that was supposedly adopted in Norway and that she
(Marie) settled in Suttons Bay, Michigan marrying Daniel Johnson in
1892.

If you are searching for Norwegians relatives in Michigan or Texas, I
would be glad to return the favor.

Amy,

Are you quite sure that the name is Lemingsen? I don't know if you have
the original handwritten vaccination letter (or a copy of it) or a
transscription. Maybe the L is a S (looks pretty much the same in old
handwriting). That would make her Marie Margrethe Semingsen (or
Semingsdatter), and her father Seming Semingsen. I haven't heard of the
name Leming, but Seming or Semming is a male first name.

Muldri (the name you give for the mother) is not a name either, maybe it
should be Mildri, but this is harder to guess. Lesbø doesn't sound right
either, but substituting the L with a S doen't make it any better. Maybe
it's Lisbø?

There could be several reasons why Marie later used the name Fagerli,
but the most likely is that the family (or Marie) moved to a farm with
this name.

The letter probably reads something like this:

Kokoppe-Indpodnings-Attest

Marie Margredhe født i Kr.sund af Foreldrene Tømmermann Seming Semingsen
Lisbø (?) og Kone Mildri (?) og boende i Kr.sund 1/3 aar gammel, er av
mig Underskrevne, Aar 1871 den 29de Juli indpodet med Kokopper. Ved
nøyagtigt Eftersyn imellem den 7de og 9de Dag efter Indpodningen har jeg
fundet alle de Tegn, som vise dem at være de rigtige Ko-kopper: de vare
nemlig hele og ubeskadigede ....(here's a part I can't make sense of)..,
og omgivne med en rød Cirkel:
Marie Margrethe Semingsen har da ordentlig gjennemgaaet de egte
Kokopper, som ? for Børnekopper: hvilket herved, paa Ære og Samvittighed
bevidnes af ? den 5te Aug. Aar 1871.

Probably "opfyldte med en klar vædske, i midten nedtrykkede" -Leif.

Hei there!

I see that you've gotten some advice concerning the spelling of names.
I think Nanna Kr. Egedius is right. Your L's should probably be S.
That could also apply to the name Lesbo. If you substitute the L with
an S, you get Sesbo - or Sesbø - and that's a farm in Stangvik parish.
And Stangvik was not far from Øksendal. Your g-g-great grandfather
Daniel was from Øksendal, right? (I guess you'll find him somewhere on
my home page).

Fagerli is a farm in Tingvoll parish, by the way. That's in the
neighbourhood, also.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find Marie or her father in my
material so far.
