8 Poul Kristian Poulsen and
Ingeman Poulsen emigrated in 1913 from Denmark to the United States. sailing from Liverpool, England, on 13 March 1913 on the ship Ivernia and arriving in Boston, Massachusetts, on 28 March 1913. They were traveling with another man Severine Jorgensen from Skinnerup per Osterild.
9 Poul was traveling in steerage, 21, single, a laborer, Danish, his last permanent address was Hov, Denmark, his father was Christen Poulsen of Hov per Thisted. His final destination was Auburn, Massachusetts, and he had a ticket to get there, he had paid for the passage himself, he had $25 with him, he had not previously been in the United States, he was going to join his uncle S.L. Salmonsen at R.F.D., Auburn, Massachusetts, and he was born in Lonnerup, Denmark.
After arriving in Massachusetts in 1913, Poul and Ingeman apparently separated. Ingeman initially worked as a carpenter in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he is listed in the 1914 and 1915 City Directories at 152 Greenwood (the address of his uncle C.T. Salmonsen, the husband of his aunt Katrine Poulsen). Poul went to Iowa and is listed there in the 1915 Iowa State census. Poul's future brother-in-law Jens Brandi (who was to marry Mette Poulsen in 1916) had emigrated to Iowa in 1909, and Poul’s brother Lars emigrated to Iowa later in 1915, followed by his brother Kristoffer in 1916.
Poul Kristian Poulsen appeared on the census of 1 January 1915 in Saratoga, Howard County, Iowa, which lists Paul Paulsen, 24, born in Denmark, single, a laborer who earned $350 in 1914 and had attended 7 years of common school. He had been in the U.S. for two years [since 1913], the last 6 months in Iowa. Query: where had he been before then?
10 In about 1916 Poul and Ingeman evidently returned to Denmark (we don't know whether they traveled together or separately) and then in 1917 came back to the United States together.
Poul Kristian Poulsen emigrated on 19 April 1917 from Denmark to the United States sailing from Copenhagen on 19 April 1917 on the ship United States and arriving in New York (Ellis Island) on 4 May 1917. He was traveling with his brother Ingeman Poulsen, whose bride-to-be Ingeborg Larsine Larsen was also on the same ship.
11 In 1917, Poul and Ingeman Poulsen traveled back to the United States from Denmark, departing Copenhagen on 19 April 1917 on the ship United States and arriving at New York (Ellis Island) on 4 May 1917. They were making their second Denmark to the United States voyage. Ingeborg Larsine Larsen, who Ingeman would marry on 23 December 1917 at Anita, Cass County, Iowa, was emigrating to the United States on the same ship. All three had final destinations of the C.T. and S.L. Salmonsen brothers (who were married to the Nikoline and Katrine Poulsen sisters) in Worcester, Massachusetts.
12 Poul was 25, single, farm laborer, Danish, his last permanent address was Worcester, Massachusetts, his father was Christen Poulsen of Hov per Thisted, and he was a non-immigrant resident alien. His final destination was Millbury, Massachusetts, and he had a ticket to get there, he had paid for the passage himself, he had $25 with him, he had previously been in the United States from 1913 to 1916 at Worcester, Massachusetts, and he was going to join his uncle S.L. Salmonsen (the husband of his aunt Nikoline Poulsen) at Millbury, Massachusetts.
As noted above, Poul gave a permanent U. S. address of Worcester, Massachusetts and said that he had been there from 1913 to 1916, and Ingeman listed his U.S. address as Saratoga, Howard County, Iowa and said that he had been there from 1913 to 1916. This is rather confusing, because it was Poul who is listed in the 1915 Iowa State census and Ingeman who is listed in the 1914 and 15 Worcester City Directories, working as a carpenter. Perhaps it was a clerical error in the passenger list? In 1917, Poul would register for the WWI draft in Iowa, and Ingeman would register in Worcester, Massachusetts. I don’t understand these apparent discrepancies.
Poul Kristian Poulsen registered for the draft for World War I on 5 June 1917, while living at Lime Springs, Howard County, Iowa, reporting he was employed by a tile contractor in Saratoga Township, Howard County, Iowa. He was 26 years old, born in Thisted, Denmark, on 17 November 1891, an alien with declared intentions to become a U.S. citizen, single with no dependents and did not claim an exception from the draft.
13 He was a farmer, renting his farm in 1920.
14 Paul Paulsen appeared on the census of 1920 in Chester, Howard County, Iowa, which lists Paul Paulsen, 28, born in Denmark and single; and two boarders.
15 Poul Kristian Poulsen emigrated circa 1920 from Iowa back to Denmark. He appeared in the 1920 U.S. Census at Chester, Howard County, Iowa. He appeared in the census of 1 Feb 1921 in the household of his widowed mother Ane Kristine Poulsen at Sennels (Parish), Hillerslev (District), Thisted (County), Denmark.
