ANNA HAVSGAARD born December 9, 1901 somewhere around Oslo, Norway.

sonnycatz — 4 Jun 2003 6:17:35 GMT

Desparetly seeking information of the life of ANNA HAVSGAARD, born December 9, 1901 around Oslo, Norway. Emigrated to Canada on board the Oscar II (Scandinavian-American Ship Line) point of departure was Kristiana, Norway. Point of arrival was Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 18, 1927. Anna Havsgaard then relocated to New Norway, Alberta (or somewhere close by) where she was employed as a hairdresser and domestic. She was previously employed as a hairdresser in Oslo, Norway. She had a child out of wedlock on Octover 4, 1929 at the Beulah Home in Edmonton, Alberta. That child is my father he was named CAMERON HAVSGAARD, at the time of his birth Miss Havsgaard would not reveal any information about the father. It is a great assumption that he was of Scottish heritage and that his first or last name might have been CAMERON. I do know that he was a painter. Can anyone help me find what happened to my long lost grandmother, and anything about my grandfather.

Thank you.

Martin Buzzard's Families

Julie Buzzard — 2 Jan 2003 11:57:35 GMT

Here is most of the information I have on Martin Buzzard:
Born: 1828 to George Buzzard and Ellen Barcus; Washington Township, Holmes County, Ohio

1855 State Census, Logen County Illinois lists Martin Buzzard with a wife plus male (born 1845) and female (born 1855) children

August 14, 1858 Elkhart Illinois he was the Justice of the Peace, resigned 1860

1860 State Census, Elkhart Logen County Illinois Martin Buzzard is alone

Feb. 22, 1861 Martin was a Trustee when Elkhart was incorperated.

March 7, 1861 Married Ellen Shull in Logan County

1862 Martin Buzzard and Ellen Shull had a son named Lee Buzzard (Logan County)

Civil War: Served September 17, 1862 to July 12th 1865 with Company "I" 106th Illinois Infantry -- mustered out in Pine Bluff, AK. He had reached the rank of a Sergeant if that helps any!

1867 to 1874 Martin was the Supervisor Township of Elkhart

1873 to 1874 He was again the Justice of the Peace.

It was now when he disappeared and ended up in Iowa where he returned from when he showed back up in Fayette County, Illinois without his blacksmith tools and very disoriented. At this time Daniel Buzzard took him to Kankakee where Martin died on October 21, 1888.

I am looking for any information on either of his two wives or three children. I have a little bit more information on Lee and who Martin was staying with in Iowa due to a census report. If you have any additional information on Martin, his wives, or children I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
