Notes:
Emigration:
Mens Far dro på sløydkurs til Trondheim, løste Far inn fiolinen til Fritjof. Dette gjorde Fritjof så bitter, at han senere, 17 år gammel, tok fiolinen med seg og reiste til Amerika. De snakket aldri sammen med hverandre igjen, men han skrev brev til Mor etter at Far var død.
Ugift arbeider (alder 16 år) dro fra Kristiania med skipet Angelo (agent Elster) med reisemål Iowa.
Fritjof tjente penger til sin første hest ved å spille fiolin.
