He was listed as being 31 years old and traveling on the Stjernelinjen. In the 1900 U.S. Census, he is living in Minneapolis, a jeweler, born July 1867, immigrated 1885, with sister Rangdi Ellingbo , seamstress, born June 1872, immigrated 1890, and niece Mary Ellingbo, born June 1883, immigrated 1900. One son and one daughter. From Don Carlson's web site: From the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on August 26, 1898: three unmarried individuals who were born in Vang i Valdres but were returning to their home in Minneapolis after a visit departed on the Stjernelinjen line. The three were: Britha Larsen Kvale, 26, b. 1872 (#11616), occupation syerske (seamstress), Rangdi Tollefsen Ellingbø, 28, b. 1870, occupation syerske, and Jørgen Tollefsen Ellingbø, 31, b. 1867, occupation juveler. In the 1900 U. S. census, Rangdi (b. June 1872) and Jorger Ellingbo (b. July 1867), brother and sister, are living with their newly-arrived niece, Mary Ellingboe (b. June 1883), at 1425 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. Rangdi is a seamstress, Jorger is a jeweler, and Mary has no occupation. Jorger originally came to the U. S. in 1885 and Rangdi in 1890. He is the Joger Ellingbo, jeweler, single, living in Minneapolis at 1425 Franklin with his sister Rangdi and his niece Mary in the 1900 census. He came to the U.S. in 1885. The Vang parish emigration record shows his departure as 13 June 1885 to "Wisconsin." In the 1905 state census, he and Olina live at 1427 E Franklin in Minneapolis. He is a jeweler and has been in the state for 18 years and 10 months, 7 years in the current enumeration district. She has been in the state and area for 3 years. He is probably the Joger T. Ellingboe who attended the St. Olaf Academy 1888-1889. He is not listed in the 1888-1889 Minneapolis city directory. In the 1890-1891 Minneapolis City directory, Jøger (as Joger T Ellingboe) resides at 111 Island Avenue and is a jeweler for Adolph Leber. Note that this is the same address as his first cousin, Ole A Kvam (#3068), who was a watchmaker for W C Leber. In the 1892-1893 Minneapolis city directory, he is listed as Joger T. Ellingboe, jeweler for G S Greenleaf and he boards at 169 Nicollet. The 1894-1895 Minneapolis city directory records two Ellingboes as follows: Andrew Ellingboe (#11897, Jøger's nephew), clerk for J T Ellingboe, rms at 45 Washington Ave. S. Joger T Ellingboe, mnfg jeweler, 45 Wash'n Ave. S., rms same. (There is also a Miranda Ellingboe, a tailoress for Altman and Co. The 1895-1896 Minneapolis city directory shows three Ellingboes as follows: Andrew Ellingboe (#11897), clerk J T Ellingboe, rms 45 Washington Ave. S. Andrew Ellingboe (#6481), machinist, Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co., resides in Hopkins. Joger T Ellingboe, mnfg jeweler 45 Washington Ave. S. rms same. (There is also an Andrew Ellenboe, a painter boarding at 409 1st Ave. S.) Jøger and his wife were guests at the Ellingboe farm in New Market, Scott County, in the 1906-1908 timeframe. He is probably the "J T Ellingboe Minneapolis" listed in "The Valdris Book", a history of the Valdris Samband published in 1920 (available on Google Books). His entry shows that he was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1910 but he was involved with the Valdris community in the Twin Cities earlier than that. The Valdris Book also lists him as one of the three-person organizing committee of the first "Valdrisstevne" that took place at Minnehaha Falls on June 25, 1899. In the 1920 census, he is "Goger" Ellingbo, a watchmaker/jeweler living in Portland, Oregon with his wife and daughter. In the 1930 census, he is Joger T. He is a watchmaker with his own shop and he and Bertha live in Portland. Jim says that Jøger had one son and one daughter.
