Liv BAKKEN

1889 - 1977  (88 years)

• Name	Liv BAKKEN
  Birth	18 Jun 1889	Sako, Tinn, Telemark, Norway
  	The dates shown in the church book for her birth and baptism are confusing and seem to show 2 July and 11 Aug.
  Gender	Female
  Death	28 Jun 1977
  Notes	She and her brother Bernt arrived in New York on May 1, 1907, on the SS Oscar II. The ship had left Oslo on April 19th. Bernt was 32, Liv was 18. Their final destination of both was Willow City, North Dakota. In both cases, the relative they were going to join in Willow City was their uncle, Mr. John Tveten. He was presumably the “uncle” who had paid for their tickets. Although Bernt claimed to have been born in Telemarken, Liv claimed “Vestfjorddalen.” Bernt was 5 feet 11 inches tall with black hair and blue eyes. Liv was five feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Liv’s occupation was shown as maid-servant. Bernt has been in the U.S. for 8 years, 1899-1907, so he was apparently sent back to Norway to be a chaperone for his sister. The Tveito farm is between the Bjørkhaug and Ingolfsland farms.
