Brekke, Klomset
Kari Andresdotter Brekke was born 1841 in Versto,
Telemark, Norway to the parents of Anders Knutson Brekke
& Kari Bjorndotter Klomset. There were two other
children Guro & Ole I believe. I know through family
that Kari came to the states when she was very young and
settled in Buckeye ,Iowa where she met & married
Alexander Knutson. Her brother Abraham & herself were
part of the North Dakota land rush where they homestead
two 40 acre parcels together and she met & married my
mother's father Ferdinand Peter Erdman. Please forward
any information on the family to my E-Mail or Lance

Trampe
Trampe Family - I know the Danske/Pommerske grev Adam
Fredrik Trampe, in 1810 at 31 years of age became
"stiftamtmann" (whatever that means ?) in
Trondhjem, Norway until his death in 1832. I believe he
is buried at Lade Kirkegard in Trondheim, with several
other family members. I would like to know more about him
and his family, because they tie in to my grandfather,
which also does the name Bauck. There was a
"Borgermester" Bauck in Trondheim which was my
great-grandfather.
On my grandmother's side - the names Pallesen and
Figenbaum. I do have nothing on Pallesen, but have been
able to find something on Figenbaum.Christopher
Figenbaum, born febr.5 1836 (or 1834) in Tonsberg,
Norway, married to Betsy Ingertha Christensen Figenbaum,
born Nov. 23, 1840 in Tonsberg, Norway. They came to
America. This should then be my great-great grandfather.
Christopher had several children - the only daughter who
stayed in Norway was Marie Figenbaum (my
great-grandmother) who married Gustav Pallesen, my
great-grandfather.
This is unclear: there was a Peder Figenbaum born in 1904
but this might be the father of Christopher. But there
was a Baron Figenbaum from Baden Baden who arrived to
Norway to head up a silver??mine just discovered (where)
Tonsberg? later went to Fredrickstad where he married a
Norwegian girl. A Fredrick started a steam-factory ??? in
Kristiania, the first in Norway ? While Christopher went
to Tonsberg and started a "paint-factory"/ I
wish to try to fin an order in all this. Personally I do
not have any proof - only from now deceased relatives.
Please anybody !!!!!!!!!! I would be so grateful.

the United States from Kranger, Norway through New York
in 1861 and settled in Spring Valley, MN, marrying John
A. T. Scovel. Ihave not been able to locate Kranger in
Norway (is it a conty, town, farm, etc?), so this and any
other relevant information would be greatly appreciated.
