General Notes: Ellemine Marie is our Norwegian ancestor. She immigrated with her family in 1892 to the United States - they left Sweden four days after her confirmation; she was 14 years old. Ellemine's dad, Jakob Hansen, was a farmer and a carpenter. He loved to play the violin; however, according to family rumours, he also liked his liquor a bit too much and he and his family were sent to America. Irregardless of the reason, the family spent 1,280 Norwegian crowns for 9 tickets on the ocean liner Hekla 2 which left Kristiania (today's Olso) on August 4th. They sailed to Christiansand and continued to New York where they arrived 13 days later - on August 17th.

It was common in Norway at the end of the 19th century to have 2 surnames: a patronym, in Ellemine's case Jacobsdatter along with the name of the farm you were living on, in this caseKopstad. The "farm name" changed every time you moved; however, the patronym was permanent. All rules are forgotten in Ellemine's family's emigration papers. The family is only registered under Kopstad (the farm name) which would become their permanent family name in the United States. Upon arrival their first names were changed as well, due to pronunciation difficulties in an English speaking population. Ellemine Marie Jacobsdatter became Mary Kopstad.

When she married Delmer Scott Weaver in North Dakota in 1897, her name was registered as Mary Kopsted - a small error on Delmer's part when he filled out the application for the marriage license. Following the marriage she, according to tradition, became known as Mary Weaver.

The family immigrated to Saskatchewan, Canada in 1904 where Ellemine was a midwife in Sturgeon Valley - she died there in 1961. On her grave at the Holy Trinity Anglican cemetery in Sturgeon Valley, Saskatchewan her name has been changed one last time. The inscription reads:

In Loving Memory
Alvina Maria Weaver
