KORSLUND-location
in Norway unknown, Dianne Rabchak drabchak@telusplanet.net
Hans Nilson/Nelson, born November 08,
1825, ( Nils and Kari?) married Inga Marie Olsdtr,
born May 27,1835( Knute Vein is the only hint to her
parentage.) Her birthday may be incorrect. Children born
in Norway are: Ole H.Nelson, born September 24, 1856,
Christian H. Nelson, born July 23, 1860, Nickolos
H.Nelson, born June 07, 1862, Andrew H. Nelson, born
February 10, 1865 and his twin that died on the sea
voyage. to America in 1867. Ole claimed to be born at
Kristiana, but he was not found in the birth records
there. The family emigrated to America through Quebec and
are first found at Goodhue County, Minnesota, with the
birth of another son, Martin, born January 8, 1868.
Christened at the Hof church. Martin died April 10, 1869.
The last record of the family in that location was in
1871. They are at Madison, Lac Qui Parle County,
Minnesota in 1880 census. Family letters indicate there
was an Andreas Nelson and wife Berthea, with children
Johann and Karin, locations unknown until Andreas
Nelson’s death December 30, 1913, in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. I believe Andreas and Hans to be brothers. Any
information of this family would be greatly appreciated.
I have been trying to find their farms for a long time.

I am looking for information on Ole Elling
Nordahl born in 1877 in Bergen I think. One of
his sons ( Henry Elling Nordahl) was my grandfather. He
died before I was born and so I never got a chance to
know him. My father never spoke the language after his
father died and we were not to mention it because it
caused him too much pain. My father also died young and
so I know nothing of my Norwegian heritage. Any
information would be very much appreciated. Thank you! gkperdue@gte.net

ANDERSON
- 28 May 1998 Alice E. FEEZOR Feezora@leblink.com
My grandfather, Charles (Charlie) Bennett
Anderson was born in August 1871 - I believe in
the state of Georgia. He was the first generation born in
the U.S. He also had a sister named Tressie or Tressa.
These are the only two members of his family I know of.
The parents had already passed on before I was born. I am
the third generation and would dearly love to know more
about my ancestors. All I know is he arrived in his
mother's womb which means they arrived late 1870 or early
1871. I do not know which port they entered through.
Anyone having any knowledge of this family please contact
me.

HOEL-
SEVERSON 21 May 1998
I am looking for ancestors of my great grandfather he
came to the United States in 1872, from Nes near Hamar,
Norway from a farm named Hoel. I have seen several
variations of his name here in the states. I believe he
came over as Sever Pederson Hoel. His
wife's obituary in 1903 calls her Bertha S. Peterson in
one place and Bertha S. Pederson in another. I have seen
their children's last names as Severson
(my family last name), Syverson (Oscar/Grandpa's address
sheets), Syversen (Naeseth research), Sivertson (Dad's
baptismal), Sivertsen (Aunt Emma's baptismal), Hoel
(tombstone/back of a picture Marshall has), Pedersen
(Naeseth research) and recently I saw the last name of
Gaalaasen (Gerhard B. Naeseth research). These are all
names from the same family out of a 20 year period of
1872 - 1892. It makes my job very interesting.

I am the third generation born in the U.S. However since
all the relatives who could give me any information are
now gone - the only thing I know is this: My grandfather,
CHARLES (IE) BENNETT ANDERSON arrived on US soil in his
mother's womb in late 1870 or early 1871 since he was
born in Aug 1871. I have never heard his father or
mother's given names - I know they had at least two
children - my grandfather and his sister who was named
TRESSIE. My grandfather passed in the early 1940s at the
age of 65. They settled in south Georgia - I know they
lived in Albany, in the rural Mitchell and Thomas County
areas. Anyone with information relating to this family
please contact me. Thank you.

Elias Anderson, b.1853,
emigrated from Skudeneshavn, Norway in 1870. Elias was a
brother of my great-grandfather, and I have several
letters that he wrote to his brother and to his parents
in Norway in the periode 1901 - 1928. The last letter I
have from him is dated September 10th 1925, and is
written from Fremont, Nebraska. In this city, Elias had a
business called "E. Anderson Company - furniture,
carpets, rugs." In an earlier letter, written 1922,
it seems that he lived in Racine, Wisconsin. At that
time, his business was called "Belle City Furniture
Company - Furniture and Undertaking". Elias
children, according to the letters were: Charlotte, Agnes
and Robert. I should like to know what happened to Elias
further, and whether there are any descendants after him.

LEE
- 10 May 1998 LeeW@Bantrel.com
I am searching for relatives in Norway. My grandparents
emigrated to the U.S.A. (Tennessee) (date unknown).
Around 1900 they travelled north looking to homestead in
Minnesota or the Dakota's. By this time most of the good
farmland had already been claimed so they kept moving
north into Canada and eventually homesteaded in near
Weldon, Saskatchewan, Canada. They filed their homestead
in 1902.
My granparents:
LEE, Per (died 1903)and his wife Mer(?) (died 1904)
their children: Sevirt, Oliver, Pauline, Inga, Anna,
& Mabel.(now all deceased)
Oliver Lee (born 1890-died 1957) was my father, and
although I was young, I remember him telling me that his
parents lived near Trondheim, Norway before emigrating to
America.
I also have an old letter (1904) from a "Cousin
Bertina" who lived in or near St. Joseph, Minnesota.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

ENDRESEN
4 May 1998
I am looking for connections to the Endresen family. My
grandfather was Hans Martin Endresen,
born in Bergen Norway on July 25, 1883. He died in
Portland, Oregon on July 31,1959. He was married to Maria
(Marie) Mattson Brannars, who was born in Vasa, Orvais,
Finland, Sept. 28,1887, and died in, Oregon on Sept. 9,
1974. He was married previously to someone in Norway, but
don't know her name. They had a son, Rangvald Endresen,
who would have been my father, Harold Endresen's 1/2
brother. He would also have been a 1/2 brother to Albert
Endresen, & Arthur Endresen.
My grandfather, Hans Martin Endresen had a brother,
Arthur who lived in Massachusetts, USA for a time before
moving to California in the 1940's or 50's. Arthur had a
son who lived in Beaverton, Oregon USA for awhile.
Hans also had two brothers, Nels and Olaf who remained
in Norway. Also a sister, Laura who remained in
Norway.Believe her married name to be Erickson. He also
had a brother,Torval(d) married to Hulda who went by
Anderson in the USA. They had a son Clarence Anderson. He
also had a bro. Gerhardt, married to Ellen--Name Changed
to Henderson in USA. Another brother, Edward Endresen who
had a son Leonard Endresen and a daughter Elizbeth
(Betty) H. Endresen (married name Aplanalp). Hans was a
merchant marine, before coming to the US.
Some other names I believe to be associated with this
family: Aslaug & Olav Bilsbak, Cecilie & Eilif
Endresen, Svanhild & Leif Endresen, Ingborg &
Knut Hare or (Have), Dagny & Jens Olsen, Torborg
& Harald Endresen, Ruth & Olaf Endresen,. I
believe that my father's half brother Rangvald's wife was
called Charlotte.
I do not know exactly how these people are related, but
believe they are part of the family I am looking for. I
do not know if any of them are still living or whether
they speak English, as I do not know their language.
I believe my father visited Norway in about 1974 and
visited with some of these relatives, but he passed away
several years ago. He said he thought someone in the
family had done a family tree, but he did not know who.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Half my family come from Norway, and I have been
researching into my family tree for a year or two now. I
would be very grateful for any help you can give me. In
order not to burden you I shall start with just a couple!
1. Tjøstol HALVORSEN (my great grandfather)b.14 March
1838 in Porsgrund, married 28 May 1876 and died on 3rd
October 1916 in Arundal. I understand he worked as a
merchant. 2. Johan Nordahl BRUN (my my GGGGG Grandfather)
I know he was a Bishop in Bergen, was born in Trondheim
on 21st March 1745 and died in Bergen in 1816 but do not
know much more, except that he wrote the BergenSong! In
particular I would love details of his ancestors. I am
extremely grateful for any help you are able to provide,
with regards, Richard Halvorsen
