Notes about Torger Nilsen "Lars" (Torger Nilsen "Lars") Langeland (AKA Thomas Thompson)

I find evidence that Torger Nilsen Langeland came to America as Torger Langeland and adopted the name Thomas Thompson. There is record of him arriving with Birthe Langeland in 1883. Why they took the name "Thompson" is an interesting question. But you can see that all of them did so.2016
Here is a note from another researcher:Judith_BuckGlenn For Martin: His father's name is Torger Nilsen, which differs from another, later marriage record for him, where he gives his father's name as "Thomas Thompson". Maybe he got tired of explaining the patronymic naming system. (The mother's name is the same, so I know it is the same Martin Thompson.) (Though in Norway, it would have been Thomsen. But why not Torgersen? I don't know.) For Johanna's mother's name, I checked on Google for Norwegian women's names, after concluding from a careful study of the recorder's handwriting that the half-missing first character could only be a "T" and found that there is a woman's name, Toline, which would fit for her mother. I could find no plausible surname for her from the Norwegian surname list--that is not how the recorder makes an "F"--look for a "Frank" on the same page. The closest I could get to a possible Norwegian surname for her was Truelsen, though there is clearly a "d" in what the recorder wrote. However, "Truelsen" could have been misheard as "Trudsen" quite easily--try saying it aloud--and what I believe was written here. Her father's surname is probably "Hansen", and I think is actually what the recorder wrote.Here'a another one:The history of Henry S Thompson says that the family came over in 1861. But the 1900 cencus says they came in 1879 and the actual records are for 1881 to 1883
