We are trying to trace our descendence from Norway.
Terkelsen Aanensen or maybe Aanen ....... (we're not quite sure about the name but John's daughter always talked about a Torkel) married a Karen Jansen(so the story goes) and they had a son, John Aanensen, born 1851- 1852 in Oslo (according to his New Zealand naturalization papers). They also had a daughter Ingeborg and another son Olaf.
Between 1870 - 1880 John(Jan)left Norway for New Zealand. We have a photo of Terkelsen(Torkelsen) with Grimstad and the Photographer's name E.Helmer written on it.
Any information would be much appreciated.
