"CHRISTOFFERSEN.-At Norsewood on the 8th July, Edward CHRISTOFFERSEN, of Norsewood, in his 48th year. Deeply regretted...

This morning about 1 o'clock an old and valued Norsewood settler passed from amongst us. We refer to Edward CHRISTOPHERSEN, who has been residing in Norsewood for the last 15 years. Until the last three years he was an active preacher of the Wesleyan Church, but rheumatic fever and rheumatism have kept him invalided for the latter part of his life. He was universally liked and respected by all who came in contact with him. The deceased is to be buried in the Norsewood Cemetery on Thursday, and the cortege will leave the house at 2pm."

"The late Mr E. CHRISTOFFERSON, of Norsewood, was buried on Thursday last. The procession left the house at two o'clock and proceeded to the Church where Mr FREDERICKSEN gave a very impressive address, a large congregation assembled. Afterwards the largest concourse of people ever seen in Norsewood at a funeral followed the body to the cemetery."

"In 1865 the Norwegian government implemented a whole of country census.
It is through this census I was able to find the connection to the family story handed down through the years that Alette immigrated to New Zealand with her Aunty and Uncle... Elen Marthea Johannesdatter and Mathea Johannesdatter are sisters."
