My great-grandparents came from Norway to the U.S. in the early 1920's. I do not know their first names, but their last name was Dragland and my grandfathers' name was Birger Dragland. He was the youngest in the family. His mother (my great-grandmother) had been married once before. We don't know to whom. My great-grandfather worked on a boat for a man who started the WallGreen Drug Stores, who then got my great-granfather to move to the U.S. I know that they left many of the family in Norway. We think they moved from a town called Brennesann (incorrect spelling). At least that is what we think. I know this is sketchy but if anyone has any information please, don't hesitate to e-mail me. We are desperate to find our roots. My grandfather was two years old when they left Norway. Thank you so much, Rosemary Dragland Dickinson |

Name: Deborah Wilson-Newcomb Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Madison, Wisconsin Time: 1997-07-30 09:29:00 Comments: I'm trying to trace my lineage from Tostig Jarl and Kotil Krok and the battle of Stanford Bridge of 1066 to Paal Erickson (m) Sigrid Haareksdatter. Areas of Norway of interest (besides the entire country) include Valdres, Gladhaug in Baegnadalen, Dolven, Tollefsrud, Bagn (church), Sor-Aurdal (church). There are references in our family history to 'the Holera Creek flowing into the Begna River, about 6 miles south of Bagn'; 'westwards from the river Begna into the hills of Seterbygda'. Family names include Oyhus, Tronhus, Haugen, Arnessen. Sigrid is a female name that is prominent in the family around that time. The family began immigrating to the US in 1850's. Most settled in Wisconsin (particularly Dane and Iowa County), some in Minnesota, and a few in Utah (where they converted to the Mormon religion). The plague left a gap in the history from around 1300, but the family line picks up again around 1550 where some court records document that the family still lived and owned the homesteads. I'm particularly interested in a familial connection between Tostig Jarl (Earl of Northumbria) through his son, Kotil Krok, to the daughter (Elfrida) of Fergus, Lord of Galloway (Scottish). Elfrida marrial Olaf the Red (the son of Godred Crowen (King of Man from 1079-1095 d. 1103) who also fought at the battle of Stanford bridge with Tostig Jarl. Godred was the son of Harold the Black, Chief of Iceland. The union of Olaf and Elfrida produced Ragnhildis who was married in 1140 to Sommerled, the Chief of Argyle (d 1164). Sommerled's father(?), Gillebride was of Celtic nationality and married a blue eyed Norse (of nobel birth). Sommerled and Ragnhildis son, Reginald, became King of the Isles and Lord of Argyle-Kintyre. Reginald married Fenia, sister of Randolph, Earl of Morrey. Their son, Roderick-Ruuie of Ruto and Carmodia, married and sired Dugal Roderickson, Vice King of the Suderoys in the Hebrides (1200-1268). Dugal married and sired Erik Dugalson. Erik was the Norwegian King's standard bearer and was given the farm Erikstad in Bagn. Erik married and sired Paal Erikson. Paal married Sigrid Haareksdatter. Their son, Knight Lodin Narveson, was given the large Delven estate in 1346. This estate included 60 farms, all owned by members of the Paal Erickson family. |

My relatives (from my Grandfather's brothers lineage - Rasmus Loken) have researched our family quite extensively, with help from relatives in Norway. I have met two of our cousins at a family reunion held last year at Devils Lake, ND. Feel free to contact me if you are related to our wing of the family. My great-grandparents from Norway were Valdemar and Johanne. Valdemar was a RASMUSSEN and was from Flaten at Olden and Johanne was SALAMONSDAUGHTHER, they lived on the family farm. Johanne's brother Ola continued to farm at L�ken. Those who followed Valdemar and Johanne all were referred to as L�ken. |

Name: John N. Tennefoss Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Montesano, Washington Time: 1997-07-26 19:35:00 Comments: Pleased to have found your web page. Being new with computer internetting, etc. I have hopes now that I'll be able to trace relatives in Norway. I was born in Superior, Wisconsin shortly after my mother came to the US. She and Dad were from Sognefjord...Nessane. Both grandfathers were from Lonne in Lonnefjord. Their names were changed, per custom, to Gjerde and Tennefoss. This makes tracing very difficult. But using your method I shall give it try. I do know there are Lonnes living in North Dakota and Minnesota...don't know them at all, but believe some may be distant cousins. |

Guruanna's parents were Ole HANSSEN JERMSTAD (b. 1786) and Anne JAKOBSDATTER JERMSTAD (b. 1797), also from the VERDAL area.

His parents and siblings are unknown to us at this time. We would love to find out who they were. My great-grandmother was born in Osoya, Lillesand, Norway on October 30,1862. Her parents and siblings are also unknown and we would love to find them and any descendents. My grandfather came to the United States around 1913. He fought in both World Wars, but when he went to sign up for social security, he was denied because he was not a U.S. citizen. He finally became a citizen and collected social security. My father, Russell Andrew Carlsen would really like to be contacted by any descendents of his grandfather, Carl Johan Carlson. I know I spelled Carlson with an O, but I was told that when they went through Ellis Island and were registered, their name was spelled this way. My father's surname is spelled as 'Carlsen', the proper norwegian way due to a typo on his birth certificate. My grandparents did not correct it as it was the proper spelling for his ancestry. All of my aunts and uncles have theirs spelled with the O. My father's address is: Russell A. Carlsen P.O.

The farm once fell into the hands of the Mundahl family. A relative later married it back into the Rodsater fold. Mundahl was famous in American policitcs, although generally unknown, as the Mundahl's in America, for whatever reasons, changed the spelling to Mondale, and one Walter Mondale was Vice-President of the U.S., and according to an article I read a number of years ago, visited the family farm on a visit to Norway. There are not many Rodsaters left. I've never married (but haven't given up exactly)...my brother had all girls, but one Rodsater, Jon, in Peoria, Illinois allegedly has a son, who apparently will be the only, as far as we can tell, to carry on the old family name. Anyone who knows any other Rodsaters...please contact me. We believe that anybody with the name Rodater certainly is related to us. Also, we are related to what we think is a rather renown artist/sculptor named M. Skeibrok, who we understand might even have a sculpture in the square of Oslo. I have a book though that seems to show Skieibrok as the author, with another, a man named Th. Kittelsen who seems to have done all the illustrations, although at the very end of the book (all in Norwegian) is a drawing of an old woman, signed by Skeibrok. The book was published in Kristiania in 1891, and titled "Sandfaerdige Skroner". Don't read Norwegian...pehaps someone could give me a clue to what it is all about, and is this relative of mine fairly well-known? Thanks! Dave |

I have two family mysteries to solve: My great-grandfather was Johannes Ingebritsen KINDEN who married Emma Ingeborg BORSLI (BURSLEY) in 1892 near Lake Mills, IA. When John died in 1925, there was no obituary, and his death certificate is unavailable from Winnebago County, IA. His parents were listed as Nikolai & Ingebrit KINDEN, but I feel these were his grandparents. I have resone to believe he had a sister Synneva (married John F�rde) and possibly a brother Sjur (John went to Norway in 1903 are returned with a girl Inga Oleanne Sjurdtr KINDEN). The other mystery is a possible family relationship to the RODBERG family from Lake Mills, IA. I have been unable to confirm or deny the link. The person is a descendent of Amund RODBERG who had 6 children: Gertrude, Jacob, Jeneca, Olina, John and Anders (Andreas). I would appreciate any help solving these mysteries. |

On the on line census from the U of Bergen, he is found as being 43 years old with wife and children. That's really great except I'm trying to locate him as a child with parents and siblings. Every Stubban I have found has very little information about anything and does not mention Erik Jenssen or anyone named Jens having son named Erik. The only other thing I know besides his birth year approx. 1758 or '59, was that he was a member of the ski patrol. Are there suggestions from avid Norwegian researchers as to where I should look for him? I have already hired a genealogist in Norway but my funds ran out before we found out anything about Erik. I have info on his wife back about six generations. Can't believe I can have that much about her and nothing about her husband. HELP! Tonja Clark |

I believe he told me that his parents came from Smaaland in Sweden, - and I have their names ; Aksel and Augusta Svensen - which I think he said was changed from Svenson when they arrived to Norway - possible that was all done in Tromso. That is ALL I know about my grandfather, we never asked him abouit his family while he was alive. In regard to his wife, my grandmother, I only know she was Olga Bach, born in Fosnes - possible in Moen, - in Moldvik, daugther of Peder Anderson Bach who became a widower early, and remarried. There is some kinship here to the family Dille on the island Joa. I do have a note that state that Peter Bach owned the farm : "garden Gnr 44, Bruks #2, Moldvik, Moen i Fosnes."I think there were siblings to Olga: Peter who died very young 20-ish???? and a sister Constance bach who lived in Oslo? until her death - but never married. I have tried to find a way to Tromso census, - but not yet. I am also interested in Figenbaum who originated in Baden Baden,Germany, and the Birch family, and Bauck.

I am also searching for relatives in Norway but am having a terrible time. Maybe with this connection I can find my relative. His name is Herman HALVORSON. He was born March 21, 1877. His father was Halvor ? mother Ragnild. Ragnild may have married Christian Anderson after Herman was born. I don't know if Halvor or Ragnild came to the U.S but Christian did. And maybe Herman came with him?? Many questions I need answered. Anyone with help will be appreciated. A fellow searcher, Sharon Mills |

Name: Arlo M. Moen Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Outlook, Saskatchewan, Canada Time: 1997-06-01 12:20:00 Comments: Gulbrand Olson Moen's tombstone says he was born in 1844. He claimed he was born in Oslo and came to America as a young man. He married Anna Hanson in 1870, lived in Freeborn County, Minn., then farmed in Twin Valley area, Minn. before moving to Outlook, Sask. Canada, where he became my grandfather. I would appreciate any any information concerning his roots in Norway. There was a town in Norway,named "MOEN," in the Hadeland area near BRANDBU; Gulbrand may have taken his name from there. This is the only clue I have found. |
