He was born ca. 1894 in Dale parish of Bruvik district in Hordaland, Norway. He emigrated through the port of Bergen with a younger girl who is his sister and they stated their intended destination as Rochester, Minnesota.

He is seen in the 1900 Norwegian census with his parents and siblings:

Hopefully approximation of his birth year may assist in finding other information.

I am searching for information on Hjalmar too. I have been writing Profile on him for the Journal of the Arctic Institute of North America. He died in 1967 and is buried at Norman Wells Northwest Territories. David Pelly's book on the Thelon River shows him on the shores of Schultz Lake after overwintering with Helge Ingstad trapping 1928 to 1929. (Ingstad and his wife went on to discover the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.) I think Hjalmar trapped for some years SE of Snowdrift, Great Slave Lake before moving to Norman Wells. Hamar Mountain near Norman Wells is named after him. calpatti@hotmail.com

Hey there, I was choppered up to Hamar mountain this afternoon in beautiful Norman Wells. I typed his name into Google and found this page. There is a plaque at the top of the mountain. I have a picture of it. Along with an inukshuk I built just north of the ridge.

Thank you for the photos. Interesting that his birthdate on the plaque is 1886 but my records show that he was born November 14, 1894. Florence Lake is helpful.
Best regards,
