Looking for information on the Toien School Kristiania Norway. Concerning Emile Fjeld Jensen. Blieved to have been born in Kristiania in either 1871 or 1873.
I have a reference letter from a school Pastor ( Pastor Moe) given to my maternal great grandmother dated 11 Ocotber 1883, before she left for Chicago.
I will be in Oslo in June 2010 and hope to clear up information about her.
Her head stone in Mt Olive Cemetery in Chicago indicates she was born in 5 Jan 1871 and died 26 Jan 1898. But a the 1875 Oslo (Kristiania) census shows a Emile Fjeld born in 1873.
I hope that school records might list her parents. Based on the 1875 census I have been researching her parents as Edvard Peterson Fjeld (Changed name to Edward Field) and Oline Fjeld as her mother,.
Finally the question--while in Oslo is it possible to research the school records?? If so where should I look?
Any help appreciated.
Neil
