Hi
I have been unable to find anything I'm afraid with dates of birth you have provided. No emigration records either. I have to ask a couple of questions:




This information I am 100% sure of:
Paulus Arthur PETERSEN (Great-Grandfather)   
Born:  20 November 1903, Norway



You say you are 100% sure. Can you please tell me why.

Ian

Carl (Karl) Johan PEDERSEN (GGreat-Grandfather)
Born:  3 August 1868, Norway
Died:  29 August 1951, Transvaal, South Africa
Married:  Margaretha JANSE VAN RENSBURG (GGreat-Grandmother)
              Died:  Harrismith, Orange Free, South Africa 


If Carl was Paulus' father this would probably mean that Carl was also married in Norway. I cannot find anything on a Carl Johan that would fit.

Having said all that there is one family in the 1910 Census with the right names but the dates are not correct:

Hi Ian,

Sorry I don't know why, I double checked before I post the informantion,
Paulus Arthur Petersen GGreat-Grandfather the information is 100% but NOT born in Norway I don't know if he was born in Norway or in South Africa, but I do know his Dad Carl Johan Pedersen (GGGreat-Grandfather) was born in Norway due to my mom said they spoke Norwegian.

Sorry for that big mistake, the birth year and death year is 100% I have photos of Paulus Arthur Petersen gravestone.

But it is 100% fact that his father was born in Norway.

Thank you for all your effort I feel terrible about the mistake I will try to fix it on the post.

Thanks

PETERSEN
This information I have searched many hours and hope this is my Great-Grandfathers family:
Arthur Paulus PEDERSEN (GGGreat-Grandfather)
Born: ? Norway
Died: ?
Married: ?


Carl (Karl) Johan PEDERSEN (GGreat-Grandfather)
Born:  3 August 1868, Norway
Died:  29 August 1951, Transvaal, South Africa
Married:  Margaretha JANSE VAN RENSBURG (GGreat-Grandmother)
              Died:  Harrismith, Orange Free, South Africa 
The PEDERSEN changed to PETERSEN when they moved to South Africa

According to the Norwegian forum Carl Johan was supposed to have been born/lived in Bragerø. Is this true?

"De skal visstnok være født/bodd i Bragerø."
