24M14	Cathrine Karen Mathia Collett, who was known as Caja, was born on 16.04.1812. She never married and died on 21.05.1880.
24M15	Jonas Tinus Collett was born on 14.02.1814. He was a protocol secretary at the Supreme Court in Hoiesterett before he died on 22.02.1858. He never married.
24M16	Peter Collett was born on 28.11.1818 and was a medical student before he died on 22.11.1848. He never married.
24M17	Eugenie Thora Octava Collett was born on 16.04.1825 at Christiania. She never married and died on 31.10.1851.
24M18	Tom John Collett was born on 09.09.1804 and later became Secretary of Justice in Akershus. He married his cousin Martine Christine Sophie Collett – see Ref. 24M10 for family details.
24M19	Hanna Elisa Collett, who was known as Lise, was born on 07.03.1806 and she was only ten years of age when she died on 06.11.1816.
24M20	Holger Gustav Collett was born on 17.10.1807 and later became a Master of Chambers (a Kammerherre). He never married and died on 17.06.1870.
24M22	Sophie Augusta Collett was born on 09.02.1811. She married her second cousin Peter Severin Steenstrup who was born on 29.11.1807, the son of Poul Steenstrup and Thea Collett. Peter founded the important shipbuilding company of Akers Mekaniske Verksted in Christiania. Coincidentally, Peter Collett (Ref. 24P47) was chairman of the company in the 1980s when the last ship was built by the company. This was the Norwegian Conqueror.
	Peter Steenstrup died on 17.02.1863 while his wife Sophie died later on 04.05.1872.
24M23	Peter Jonas Collett was born on 12.09.1813. He married Jacobine Camilla Wergeland who was born on 23.01.1813 at Kristiansand and she was always referred to Camilla. The marriage produced four children for Peter and Camilla. Peter was a lawyer and a literary critic and it seems very likely that he was the author of a book entitled ‘Norwegian Family Justice’ written by P J Collett.
	Before they were married, and particularly during the period from 1839 to 1840, Peter travelled to Italy and other European countries on a scholarship as part of a course of study.
	It is likely that it was immediately following Peter’s trip to Italy that he returned to Norway where he married Camilla having regard to the date of birth of their first child. Camilla Collett later became a passionate champion of women’s right and established herself as a well-known and accomplished writer of many works. In the 1850s Camilla wrote several books on the subject of women’s liberation. Her novel ‘The Magistrate’s Daughters’ written in 1855 is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of young women trapped by stultifying convention. ‘Through the Long Nights’ written in 1862 is a depiction of childhood scenes.
	In her other books, she wrote about her own life experiences and these included ‘The Life and History of Camilla Collett’, ‘The Story of a Woman’s Heart’, and ‘Memories and Personal Statements’.
	A street in Oslo, Camilla Collett Veien, is named in her honour.
	Peter and Camilla Collett’s two eldest sons also took up writing and became established authors in Norway. Robert Collett (Ref. 24N5) was very interested in animals and birds, while Alf Collett (Ref. 24N6) was the author of several books on the subject of the Collett family in Norway and the history of Christiania.
	Peter Jonas Collett died on 18.12.1851 so Camilla was a widow for forty-four years until she died on 06.03.1895. The records of Scandinavians visiting Italy also include a reference to Jacobine Camilla Collett who visited Rome in 1862. The entry states she was an author and the purpose of her visit was cultural. This visit, and that of her husband twenty-two years earlier, are the only Collett entries in the records.
	Another entry in the records that may be of interest relates to Joseph Frantz Oscar Wergeland born 1815 who is likely to be Camilla’s brother. He was listed as being an officer on a course of study and visited Italy in 1853.

Bernt Collet died on 02.02.1857, while his wife Emilie passed away on 17.04.1868.
	This is the start of the Danish Collett family which forms Part 25 – The Danish Line
24M36	JOHN COLLETT was born on 02.09.1807 and at some stage in his life he became the owner of the property at Buskerud Gard which he sold in 1869. The property had originally been purchased by Peter Collett (Ref. 24K17) in 1762 and had been handed down through his son Peter Collett (Ref. 24L14).
	Today the property at Buskerud is used as a vocational high school and the original farm buildings are still well maintained into the twenty-first century.
	John Collett married Johanne Antonette Smith who was born on 15.12.1811. Johanne died on 15.10.1874 while John lived on into his eighties and died on 13.04.1891.

When in his early thirties he wrote a book entitled ‘From the World of Insects’, and later wrote three volumes on ‘The Birds of Norway’.
	According to the ‘The Eponym Dictionary of Mammals’ Professor Dr Robert Collett (1842-1913) was a Norwegian zoologist. He started his working life as an Assistant Curator in 1871, rose to Curator, and finally became Director of the Christiana Museum, a post he held from 1882 until his death. He was also Professor of Zoology at Christiana University from 1884. His main interest was ichthyology.
	One of his work colleagues was a Mister Thomas who, in 1904, wrote in one of his original citations, “I have named this specifies Dusky Rat (Rattus colletti) in honour of my friend Dr Robert Collett, of Christiana, the author of the chief paper on the mammals in the region in which it occurs. Collett described a number of Australian mammals including Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus lumholtzi.
	Doctor Robert Collett also has an Australian snake named after him (Pseudechis colletti). The rat is found in the Northern Territory of Australia, while the snake can only be found in Central Queensland. Today they are a popular snake among zoos, exotic snake keepers, and snake collectors generally.
	Robert Collett never married and died on 27.01.1913.

	Alf wrote several books of the subject of the Collett family of Norway, the first covering the period from 1655 to 1872 which was published in 1883 and entitled ‘An Old Christiania Family’. This was followed in 1889 by ‘The Collett Family’ and ‘Life in Christiania’ and ‘Pictures of Christiania’ in 1893. He wrote his last book in 1915 round the time of the death of his wife Mathilda.
	Alf Collett’s work on the Collett Family in Norway was later brought up to date by Peter Collett (Ref. 24P47) who commenced his research in 1957, culminating in the publication in 1983 of the ‘Familien Collett 1655 to 1983’. All of the additions to this family tree since 1983 have also been generously supplied by Peter.

	This is the start of the Swedish Collett family which forms Part 26 – The Swedish Line
24N15	ALBERT PETER SEVERIN COLLETT was born on 15.09.1842. When he was only twenty-three years old he was asked by Christiania Bank & Kreditkasse to travel to Nord Trøndelag to examine the possibility to save the bankrupt company at Salsbruket.
	He was a hard worker and soon started buying land and exporting timber products to England, having set up his own company producing wood pulp at Salsbruket and Bangdalsbruket.
	He married Nanna Hoegh and they had ten children. Albert’s investments in forestry over the years meant that he owned more than 130,000 hectares in Nord Trondelag (more than 500 square miles or 320,000 acres) by the time he died at Nord Trondelag on 25.06.1896.
	Albert’s delightfully written letter of 20^th August 1873 to Nanna, in which he proposes marriage, can be founded displayed upon the website.
	During their married life, Nanna lived in Christiania at Uranienborg Terrasse 11, to enable the children to go to school. It was an important job, all alone with her husband far away, and it was only during the summer that she travelled north the 800 km to Mo Gard by horse and buggy to be reunited with Albert.
	Following the death of her husband at the age of 54, when she was only 42, Nanna’s oldest son Johan, who was twenty-one, took over the responsibility not only of running the business activities, but also to help his mother to ensure the younger children received a good education.
	Albert Collett’s home at Mo Gard is today a well known tourist resort and is renowned for good salmon fishing. Albert’s wife Nanna, who was born on 04.06.1854, died on 31.01.1921.
	The Collett plaque on the family tomb at the Nykirke Church near Buskerud Gard includes the name of Albert’s and Nanna’s daughter Johanne who died when only one month old. The inscription reads ‘Johanne Antonette barn av Brugseier Albert Peter Severine Collett og Hustru Nanna fodt Hoegh * 28 4 1883 + 30 5 1883’.
	A headstone at the more recent multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund near Vigeland Park in Oslo bears the inscription “Albert P S Collett F. 15 Sept. 1842 D. 25 Juni 1896”. Beneath this are the details for his son Albert and his wife Nanna, which read as follows: “Albert J A Collett F. 17 Dec. 1892 D. 12 Dec. 1918” and “Nanna Collett F. Hoegh F. 4 Juni 1854 D. 31 Jan. 1921”.
	The following is an interesting extract from a book written by Sir Henry Pottinger in 1905 entitled “Flood, Fell and Forest”.
	“This hunting ground, comprising the districts round Mo and Oplo on the Indre Folden fiord, was a huge freehold estate belonging to that perfect gentleman, prince of timber merchants and kindest of landlords, the late Albert Collett of Christiania. His successor is his eldest son Johan Collett who now conducts the business on another immense family estate at Bangsund not far from Namsos. Mo and Oplo have been for some years deserted by the lumbermen as no more timber will I believe be felled in those forests for at least another generation.”
