In the 1860s it was possible to travel in and out of Norway freely. Passport requirement had been lifted and
it wasn’t until 1901 that a new law concerning control of foreigners was introduced. That is why we do not
have an archive of immigrants for that era. The only place where it is possible for someone to find
information regarding immigrants is the churchbooks, which holds entries for people moving into the
parish. Most commonly these are not complete (Henne: they were not always kept up-to-date).
We have looked in our register for citizenship in Trondheim 1835-1900, but we are unable to find records
of Reese applying for citizenship.
We are able to provide other information. In the city bailiff/magistrate protocol (3L7 page 24) of deceased
we find death number 9 in November 1908, deceased on 5th November: “Former pastrymaker Fredrik
Wilhelm Reese, age 76, Strandveien No. 19. Widow Sofie is alive and there are the following children:
1) Dorthea, married to farmer Peder Sørensen, Jutland
2) Fredrikke, married to hatmaker C. Mortensen, Philadelphia
3) Max Reese, travelling salesman, at home (Henne: most likely this means he lives at Strandveien No.
19)
4) Johan Henrik, painter (Henne: the Danish and Norwegian word maler is ambiguous and could mean
artist), America
5) Lovise, married to vognmand (coachman/trucker) August Dahl, Backly, Minnesota
6) Laurine, married to painter Hagen here (Henne: hersteds means something like this
location/nearby)
7) Anna Schönemann, deceased, leaving behind the following children:
a. Rosalie, married to typographer Carl Svendsen, Kristiania
b. Rudolf, painter, New York
c. Fredrik, baker and pastry maker, New York
d. Arthur, barber, Chicago
The estate owns the farm No. 19 Strandveien including contents. The widow reports the death and informs
that it is her wish to retain undivided possession and will, as soon as it is possible, receive declarations from
the heirs regarding this matter. Deathcertificat was shown to doctor Arne Aas.
The heirs who are present (Henne: could be, the heirs who live nearby) have given their consent that the
widow may reside in undivided possession. Declarations have also been received from Dorthea and Peder
Sørensen, Fredrik and Arthur Schönemann, Johan Henrik Reese, Rudolf Schönemann, Lovise and August
Dahl aswell as Carl Svendsen and also from Chiel Mortensen and wife”

Vår ref.: 13/10874
1860-tallet var en tid hvor en kunne reise ganske fritt inn og ut av Norge. Passtvangen var opphevet, og det
kom ikke noen ny lov om fremmedkontroll før i 1901. Vi har derfor ikke noe arkiv over innvandrere på den
tiden. Det eneste stedet en kan finne noe om innflytting er i innflyttingslistene i kirkebøkene, og de er
vanligvis ikke fullstendige.
Vi har sett i vårt register over borgerskap i Trondheim 1835-1900, men kan ikke se at Reese søkte
borgerskap.
Vi kan ellers opplyse at ifølge Trondheim byfogds dødsfallsprotokoll 3L7 side 24 finner vi innført som
dødsfall nr. 9 i november 1908, død den 05.11.: "Forhenv. Konditor Fredrik Wilhelm Reese, 76 år gl.
Strandveien no. 19. Enken Sofie lever med følgende børn:
1) Dorthea, g.m. Jordbruker Peder Sørensen Jylland
2) Fredrikke g.m. hattemaker C. Mortensen Philadelphia
3) Max Reese, handelsreisende, hjemme
4) Johan Henrik, maler, Amerika
5) Lovise, g.m. Vognmand Aug. Dahl, Backly, Minnesota
6) Laurine, g.m. Maler Hagen hersteds
7) Anna Schönemann, død efterlader sig følgende børn:

4) Arthur, barber, Chicago
Boet eier gaard no 19 Strandveien samt løsøre. enken anmelder dødsfaldet og opl. at hun ønsker at sitte

FT 1870 Hørning Hjelrmslev Skanderborg Amt opslag 28 nr 87 opført som

Dorthea Marie Mathilde Sofie Meyer 9 år gl. født Nørkjærhård Viborg Amt Pleiebarn

Fra Henriette

Jeg har fundet Peter Jens Møller Sørensen fødselsregistrering, vielse og en folketælling for 1880 (hans forældre). Jeg er stadig ikke blevet klogere på hende Dorothea og hvorfor hun ikke er med i de norske folketællinger. FT i 1880 i Kolt (Edslev mølle) har jeg kigget på samtlige opslag fordi hun er 20 år, og måske gjorde tjeneste i Kolt Sogn. Ved vielsen står der at hun er "af Edslev". Men hun er der ikke. Meget, meget mystisk.

Hendes forældre, som Michelsen har noteret "af Nørkjær" flakkede rigtig meget rundt. Og det eneste tidspunkt de reelt var på Nørkjær var da Dorothea blev født. De har boet i Sorø, og arbejdede på Fuglebjerggaard (1858). Her fik de den første datter. Så dukker de op på Nørkjær og får Dorothea (1860). Så dukker de op i Års (Nordjylland) på Halkjær, hvor de får endnu en datter (1862). Så flytter de til Todbjerg (Edelslund) og får deres første søn i 1864. I 1865 flytter de så til Norge. Men i den første folketælling dér er de to ældste døtre ikke med. Hende fra Sorø dukker dog op, men Dorothea eksisterer overhovedet ikke som en del af familiens optegnelser. Jeg fandt familien på en tilgangsliste for Todbjerg og blev glad fordi der stod at de medbragte to børn. Men så fandt jeg jo ud af, at de havde fået en datter på Halkjær. Så der mangler stadig et barn.

Thank you all for your quick feedback
I have found out that Dorthea Reese grew up at a sister to Frederik Wilhelm Reese (Anna Cathrina Dorothea Reese). They had an Inn in Hørning (Aarhus region), where I have found her at census in 1870. I have not been able to find her confirmation or where she stays in the census 1880. Dorthea got a very hard upbringing without her parents and siblings. Yet Frederick and Sophie Reese are godfather/godmother in Denmark to one of Dortheas children, daughter Frederikke Sophie Katrine Sorensen, who was born in 1889.
I would like to share more information with you, but it takes a while to put it into English. I will contact you by email.

Dorothea Vilhelmine Mathilde Sophie Reese (1860 - 1946)
According to my mother, her grandmother, Dorothea, stayed on Hørning Kro (Kro = Inn) after Dorothea's father, mother and three siblings had traveled to Norway (why she had been on Hørning Kro or why she had been left behind in Denmark my mother didn´t know). It led me to investigate whether she should be in a census in 1870 from Hørning parish, Skanderborg County. And yes she was. She was referred to as "Dorthea Marie Mathilde Sophie Meyer", 9 years old, born in Nørkjærgaard and was foster child, but it fit with age, place of birth and the housewife named Reese "Kathrine Margaret Dorthea Resse" (this name is written in many different ways in censuses and church records) born in Holstein and the housefather named Heinrich Meyer. So it looked like Dorothea had been left with relatives, but who was this family? Maybe she was a sister of Frederik Wilhelm Reese. I later found out, that this was right. And why did the parents traveled with her older sister, younger brother and sister without her? One day I talked to my aunt (who is now 83 years old) about the mysterious in that they had left a little daughter in Denmark. My aunt had heard that Dorothea's father Frederick did not believe that he was the father of her. The reason for this is unknown. Many years later he accepted (again according to my aunt) that he was her father, because he could see that she looked like him. He agreed to it at their silver anniversary when Dorothea was in Norway. One can wonder why the mother agreed to leave her daughter, but it was a different time back then than today. I do not know why they left Denmark. I've looked at the picture of Frederick William Reese and think he looks like my grandfather J

I have also seen in various places that Frederick William Reese came from Kiel and Holstein. I have therefore searched in censuses in Holstein and found him in a census taken in 1835 in Holstein. At first I was not sure, but there was so much that pointed that it was him and his family. Especially, because many of the names of Frederick's children's are similar to the names of the family and the age of Frederick also fitted. There has always been a tradition that the oldest son was named after his grandfather and the father's name was "Marx Detlev Reese", as was the name of Frederik's firstborn. In addition, there was a census in Denmark in 1860, which stated that he was born in "Svalsted Location, Bornholm County" - they've got a little wrong address, you can say, because the right place is the city Schmalstede, Bordesholm, located south of Kiel (midway between Kiel and Neumünster in Germany).
