LIMA

We are looking for more information about our
Grandfather, Svend (Sven) Lima. He was born in Stavanger,
Norway on Aug. 8, 1899 and came to the USA in 1912. He
married Tillie Hagen. They had 4 children, one of which
was my father, John Leroy Lima. We were wondering if
there was a farm named Lima near Stavanger. Also, my Aunt
thought the last name of her grandfather might have been
Simonson. We want to find out if we have any living
relatives in Norway since Svend's sisters Josophine and
Freda stayed in Norway. Any help will be appreciated.

TASKERUD
13 July 1997
I have been looking for information on the Taskerud name
for about a year. We have located the farm near Ness.
Several Taskerud's live in Norway but so far we have not
found a link. My great grand father was John Christian
Taskerud. He had a brother Frederik who I can find little
information on so far. He was born 2 Jan 1838 Taskerud,
Ness Norway. I do not know if he came to America as we
have no record. He was the son of Christian Olsen and
Anne Neilsdatter. Others in that family were Necoline
(Lena),and Ole. I would like to find more about Ole,
Frederik and Lena. Other farm names associated with
Taskerud's are Hobrenna, Sor-Holo, Ingeberg. I think we
may have relatives from some of these farms. Any
information would be appreciated. Thank you, Charlie
Taskerud.
