    Notes 
    • Or Johan Ludvig.

      His biological father appears to be Claus Bowe (assumed here) or one of Claus’s brothers. His birth record said that his father was Carl Carlsen.

      The Johan Lauritz b. 19 Mar 1855, bapt. 9 Apr, in Bodø (Salten) parish of Bodø town parish, Nordland, was the son of the unmarried couple Helena Pernille Larsdatter of Rodøgaard (sp?) and Carl Carlsen of Christiansund.

      In the 1865 census, he is Johan Lauritz Carlsen, age 11, a poor orphan/foster son living on Vesterlie nedre in Skjerstad parish, Nordland. The farm is owned by Mads Olsen, age 49. His wife is Malene Hansdatter, age 34.

      He is not the Johan P. O. Karlsen in the 1865 census or the Johan Karlsen in the 1875 census shown as the son of Karl Pedersen.

      He is _not_ the Johan Edvard Mikal Karlsen, age 26, who married Ane Pauline Olsdatter in Meløy, Nordland, Norway, on 1 Aug 1881. That Johan’s father is shown as Karl Andreas Pedersen.

      In the 1891 census, he is in Tysfjords and was born in 1855 in Bodø. He’s a school teacher and gbr. The rest of the household was his wife Anne Antonette Nomaren Olsdatter b. 1858 in Tysfjorden, the maid Helmine Pedersdatter, b. 1873 in Tysfjorden, the son Karl Hilmar Karlsen, b. 1885 in Tysfjorden, and the son Mads Elias Gustav Karlsen, b. 1888 in Tysfjorden.

      In the 1900 Norwegian census, he was a school teacher living on the Hegholl farm in Beiarn, Norway. His wife is Anne Antonette, b. 1858 in Tysfjorden. Their children are Karl Hilmar Johansen, b. 1885 in Tysfjorden, Mads Elias Gustav Johansen, b. 1888 in Tysfjorden, Marta Kristine Todal Johansdatter, b. 1891 in Tysfjorden, Olga Elise Joakime Johansdatter, b. 1893 in Tysfjorden, Magnhild Aleksandra Johansdatter, b. 1896 in Beieren, Reidar Antonius Johansen, b. 1898 in Beieren, and Uldrik Fredrik Johansen, b. 19 Jun 1900 in Beieren.

      In the 1910 Norwegian census, he was a gbr and schoolteacher living on the Hegholt farm in Beiarn, Norway. Everyone in the household was born in Bodin, Norway.

      According to Wikipedia: Beiarn is a municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Salten. Beiarn is also a part of the Bodø Region, a statistical metropolitan region. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Moldjord. Other villages in Beiarn are Høyforsmoen, Trones, and Tverrvika.

      According to Wikipedia: Bodin is a parish and former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 672-square-kilometre (259 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1968. It was a large municipality encompassing all of the mainland area around the town of Bodø and part of the land on the southern shore of the Saltfjorden. The municipality also included over 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) of islands, notably the islands of Helligvær, Landegode, Bliksvær, and Givær plus numerous others. In all there were over 700 islands, islets, and skerries in Bodin Municipality. All of what was Bodin Municipality now lies entirely inside the present-day Bodø Municipality.[1][2]
      The present-day parish of Bodin represents the mainland area immediately surrounding the town of Bodø and the western islands. The main church for the parish is the historic Bodin Church.

      Cheryl Dahl’s Wells Ross Family Tree claims he had a daughter Martha Carlson (1893-1925) who married Arthur Card Dawson. The Karlsens have no daughters in the 1900 census.

      The Karlsen Family Tree on MyHeritage calls him Johan Ludvig Karlsen and has him dying in 1925.
