My 2nd Great Grandparents
Knud Andreas Thorstensen
9 Sep 1832 - 19 Feb 1884 Dypvåg, Aust-Agder, Norway |
Thalette Andrea Tellefsdatter
20 Jun 1833 - 22 Feb 1875 Tromøy, Aust-Agder, Norway |
They married on 15 Dec 1857 in Dypvåg, Aust-Agder, Norway. Knud was a ship's captain and traveled the world. Thalette traveled on the ship with her husband at times. In February of 1875 however, she was home with her children when her last child, Karen, was born. It isn't known exactly what the cause of Thalette's death was on 22 Feb 1875, but she passed away 12 days after giving birth. We know from the letters that Karen was sickly at birth. Knud died on 19 Feb 1884. He had made it back to his home.
Please see Norwegian Letters for a more complete picture of the lives of these two and their family. After reading those letters, I will be forever grateful to these two people for the immense sacrifices they made to support their family.
