Classification: Query
Surnames: Salvesen/Farestad/Ouensen
I am looking for any information on the following and would like to find out if there are any relatives around from this family.

Father/husband: Ouen Kristian Salvesen b: 1849 in Farestad, Halse, Mandal, Vest Agder Norway.

Mother/wife: Anna (Hanna Torkelsdtr) b: 1845
Son: Herman Frederick Kristian Ouensen b: 1876
Daughter: Bonoria Ouensdtr Salvesen b: 1879
Son: Thom Marius Ouensen b: 1882

Second wife of Ouen Kristian Salvesen: Anne Johanne Torresdtr b: 1869 - d: 1954
Son: Alf Kristian Ouensen Salvesen b: 1909
Daughter: Sara Therese Ouensdtr b: 1902

Children from first union:
As far as I know, Herman Frederick and Bonoria came to the US and settled in East Boston, MA. Bonoria had two sons: Henry Farestad and Paul Olsen by her husband Martin Olsen. I am looking for any information on this family.

Herman married Aagot Toft and they had one daughter - Helen Dorothea, b: 1902 and d: 1974(?). Aagot died in 1907. Helen is my grandmother.

Thom Marius Ouensen I believe went to Trondheim and stayed. Any info on him?

Children from second union:

Alf Kristian Ouensen Salvesen I believe went to New York and lived in Brooklyn; married a woman named Irene. If anyone has info on Alf and whether or not there were children of this union?

His sister was Sara Therese Ouensdtr who I believe was called Aunt Therese. Any info on her and whether or not she married and had children?

They are all long gone and I have been hitting brick walls. If anyone is related or has any information, pleaes send to me at either the e-mail listed or to barbarajean@msn.com.

thank you.
