RASMUSSEN
31 Mar 1998 nancyb@cncnet.com
I have been trying to research my maternal grandparents,
but can't seem to get beyond the year of their
immigration. My grandfather was JOHN ANDREW
RASMUSSEN, son of RASMUS OLSEN.
He was born in 1851 in Norway, and was a sailor. I have a
picture of him with the town of Christiania, Norway
printed on it. He immigrated in 1882, and came to DES
MOINES, IOWA, with my grandmother, BERTINA, who was the
daughter of PETER LUND. My grandmothers
death certificate reads, place of birth, CHRISTIANSUND,
NORWAY. One daughter, ANNA, was approx. 2 years, when the
came to the USA.
I know that my grandparents had relatives in Wisconsin,
and Illinois. One name in Wisconsin was JOSIE, and
another was OLAF, I believe they were cousins. If any of
this sounds familiar, please contact me. Thanks, Nancy
Brousseau - Oroville, CA

ØVERLIEN-SLAATMYREN
30 Mar 1998 Joyce Quall Urban tlurban-chgo@worldnet.att.net
Looking for ancestors of my great-grandmother Agnette
Johannesdtr., born October 4, 1848, in Nes,
Hedemarken. Her parents were Kari Halvorsddtr.
O/verlien and Johannes Jensen
Slaatmyren. Agnette was illegitimate. A note in
the church record margin says this is the mother's 2nd
indiscretion and the father's first. I have been told
that Slaatmyren is in Ringsaker Parish. We have been told
that Agnette and her husband, Ole Kristiansen,
were related. Ole was the son of Kristian
Jakobsen and Berte Johannesdtr,
born abt. 1808. In the Nes Bygdebok this family is on the
Øgarden farm under Øverlien in 1865. The entry says
that Kristian Jakobsen was not from Nes originally, but
they do not know where he was from. Perhaps Agnette and
Ole had the same grandparents who had sons named Jakob
and Johannes?
In the bygdebok, person who might be Agnette's mother is
found on two farms in Nes. One entry says that Kari was
born in 1819 in Ringsaker. This Kari had two other
illegimate children. One of them was a foster son in
Øverlien. Later she married another person and lived in
Strandsveen under Wold. My great grandfather eventually
took the name Wold in the U.S. because there were other
Ole Christiansens around. He had worked on Wold for seven
years and felt he had a right to the name. This is made
more complicated because the name here was Vold, then
Wold, and two brothers took the name Woll. The connection
must be in Ringsaker somewhere. Any ideas? Joyce

BJORGUM-TUNG/ASKIMDAL 28 Mar 1998 Meg Lambalot megron@glasscity.net
I'm looking for
connections to Johan Olsen Bjorgum and Ellen
Johansdatter Tung/Askimdal. Both came to America
in 1887 or 1888 from Stadsbygd, Sor-Trondelag, may have
traveled together or Ellen may have followed Johan later.
Also believed to have traveled with Johan's sister
Ingeborg Anna. They were married in Minneapolis,
Minnesota in 1888 and eventually settled in Blackbrook or
Clear Lake, Polk County, Wisconsin. Johan was born 07
June 1867 to Ole Olsen Denstad Bjorgum
and Anne Margrethe Eriksdatter Palsen.
Ellen was born 31 March 1863 to Johan Knudsen Tung and
Maria Knudsdatter Askimdal. I have a good line on Anne
Margrethe but know virtually nothing about Ole, and very
little about Maria and Johan Knudsen.
Any information would
be greatly appreciated.

HAUGE
15 Mar 1998
I am trying to find information about my
great-grandfather Lars Lewis Reierson Hauge who emigrated
from Bryne. He and a brother, Reinert, emigrated to
Wisconsin about 1863. The farm name was Hauge and his
fathers name was Reier. I do not know what name he used
initially, but used Rierson after moving to Iowa.
According to his obituary, Lars/Lewis spent a year in
Wisconsin before settling permanently in Cambridge, Story
County, Iowa. I am trying to determine where he may have
spent the year in Wisconsin, and what happened to
Reinert. Does Reinert have descendents in Wisconsin?

DOKKEN
13 Mar 1998 steinv@online.no
I am looking for this person that our family have lost.
LARS LARSEN DOKKEN born 29 mai 1859 in Nes in Hallingdal.
Baptized 13 June 1858 in Nes kirke. Confirmation 7 June
1874 in Nes kirke.
In 1878 he is recorded as emigrated out of Nes to
Christiania. In this year there is no records showing him
going to America. But the year after in 1879 the same
name, same person, same birth date is going out to
America from Nordre Land. Designation Moorhead.
----------------------snip---------------
> >Av de Lars Larsener jeg fant, var det en som
fanget interesse:
> >Lars Larsen, arb., 21 aar fra N. Land reiste med
dampskibet Hero den 16.
> >mai 1879 til Morhead, Min.
> >Han har nr 34 og finnes på side 241.
"Reise betalt ".
> >Moorhead ligger ved Red River på grensen mellom
Minnesota og Dakota.
> >Minnesota er også nabo til Wisconsin.
This is what we got from records here. But we know more.
In 1925 when his mother died here in Nes she said the two
sons Lars and Knud was dead but they left behind them
children in America. Another thing we know is that when a
younger brother went to MN. in 1902 he stopped by his
brother in Wisconsin. This is either LARS or Knut. Lars
could be Lewis or Louis in English.
Knud is born 26 mai 1866 in Nes.
Parents is: Lars Larsen and Kari Nubsdatter. All are
coming from Nes parish in Hallingdal.
Is there any possibility that any of you have heard or
come over this two names in Wisconsin I would be very
happy. Regards - Steinar

Minnesota they had four other siblings by the names of

We are hoping that with the assistance of this web site
our prayers may be answered. If anyone knows of anything,
even something you might think trivial, Please contact
me. We do not know the Parish or farm the Hanson's were
from we are sure they probably are Lutheran and were
married in the State Lutheran Church in Kongsvinger.
Signe Amelia Hanson married my Grandfather, Johan
Gottfrid Berggren (later changed to Bergren on his
Naturalization papers in the US) on 14 Feb 1917 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. They had four children, Kenneth
Eugene who died as an infant, Elaine Eleanor, Joyce

NIELSEN/HAMMERSTAD
4 Mar 1998
I have been searching (without any luck) for Norwegian
family information on the following individuals:
Nils Nielsen (Neilsen, Nelson), born in Norway, in 1826,
and Helena (Helene, Helina) Hammerstad? Nielsen, born in
Norway, in 1830-1832). They are my gr-gr-grandparents.
Nils and Helena were married in Norway in 1856, at where
I think is Stavanger, (old family records show Stanga? or
Stange?).
They had two children born in Norway: Hans, in 1860, and
Ludvick (Ludwig), in 1863. Four other children, Nels,
Hulda, Albert and unknown, were born at Hale Township,
Wisconsin, after 1865.
They emigrated from Stavanger, Norway, by railroad to
Tromso, Norway, then travelled by ship to the USA,
entering this country somewhere in the gulf region. They
then came by railroad from there to Chicago, Illinois,
(arriving July 4, 1865), and finally made their way to
Hale Township, Wisconsin, where they settled and changed
their last name to Nelson.
Helena had a sister (Olivea Hammerstad) who along with a
brother also emigrated to America shortly after Nils and
his family. The Hammerstads finally settled in the Osseo,
Wisconsin, area.
I have tried numerous sources for records and have been
unable to track this family back to Norwegian relatives.
I have a wealth of current family information including
many photos to share with relatives in Norway, if I can
ever locate some of that line.

ESPESETH
3 Mar 1998
I would like to know if there is a genalogy re: ESPESETH
family in Norway? If yes, who should I contact to obtain
a copy of this genealogy? Do you know if there are
ESPESETH descendants in France (under the rare name of
ESPESSET which dates back to the XIVth or XVIth century
in the south of France, Aveyron). These ESPESSET are the
founders of the ESPESSET family in France and I am
wondering if they could be related to ESPESETH in Norway.
I also found some ESPESETH in the United States in the
XIXth century and there are still ESPESETH in Illinois,
Wisconsin and some in Canada (in British Columbia). I am
not a genealogist but would appreciate some help to find
sources re: ESPESETH genealogy in Norway. You can reach
me at:
Helene Espesset, 71 Rue du Geai Bleu, Hull, (Quebec),
J9A-2C7, CANADA.
Phone at the office (Department of Canadian Heritage):

Christiania) where, according to family legend, she had
once been crowned "Miss Christiania". I do not
know the name of her husband, who was a glass-blower, but
she came to the US with her two children, Astrid and

their records. Thanks, Dave Hall
