Hello,
I am trying to find out more about a man named Bernt Julius Magnusson who is my great-great-grandfather. While I'm not certain, I think he came from Gothenburg, Sweden, born sometime around 1830. At some point, perhaps in the late 1850s or early 1860s, he made his way to Austre Bokn in Rogaland, Norway, where he met my great-grandmother, Anna Knudsdatter Kjelsvik (1819-1907), who was married at the time to Søren Kristoffersen Eide (1823-?). Bernt was supposedly a 'sailor' which would of course help to explain how he ended up in Norway. It turns out that Bernt Julius Magnusson and Anna Knudsdatter had a relationship and she become pregnant with my great-grandfather, Karl Andreas Berntsen (b. June 25, 1861 in Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway). He was baptised on July 14, 1861 in St Petri Church in Stavanger. Before Anna's marriage to Søren Kristoffersen Eide (on October 25, 1845, in Skudenes Parish, Rogland, Norway), she came from Søra Vaage on Austre Bokn, which is where she, with her son Karl Andreas Berntsen, ended up after her marriage to Søren ended.
Please see this link which shows that he comes from Gothenburg:
I know a bit about Bernt Julius's time in Norway, but I am trying now to find out more about his life in Sweden, such as when he was born exactly and the names of his parents.
