Looking to confirm birth of siblings of my grandfather.
He went by the name Louis Nordle in the USA but it has
been suggested he was born Ludvig IVERSEN, born June
2,1885 according to Buskerud parish of Lier, Tranby
church records. Parents purported to be Lars IVERSEN and
Annette LARSDATTER. Any info on them would also be
helpful. Would church records confirm any of the
following:
Brothers and sisters were:
Lars (died as a young child)
Louise NORDAHL b. 1/5/1893 d.7/14/1976 Bergen Norway
Peder NORDAHL b. 6/1881 d. 1960 NY, USA

Ingvald IVERSEN b. 1877 d. 1965 Drammen, Norway
Anna b. d. Norway
Louis b. 6/2/1886 d.3/13/1950 NH,USA
His Naturalization records state he "Emigrated from
Christiana Norway on & Oct 1903 and arrived Port of
New York 17 Oct 1903 on the ship CYSNRIO". Could
this be confirmed by someone in the "Oslo
Emigrantprotokoller"?

BAKKE/REINE/MUND
29 Oct 1997
I am trying to tie my ancestor to Princess Cecelia
(Sverri Sigrudsson's sister) My ancestor is Niri
Ingebretson Rodningen Bakke b. 1741, d. 1805 is a 7 gr
grandson to Princess Cecelia. Oral history says he
married Anne Halvorsdatter Herbjornsrud b. 1744, d. 1810.
Anne's father was Halvor Kittlesson Herbjornsrud (b.
1708, d. 1788) and her mother was Christine Jensdatter
Skogen (b. 1707, d. 1744). Christine's father was Jens
Hansson Reine aand her mother was Ingeborg Trolldalen
Skogen. Then oral history says that Ingeborg's
grandfather was a famous man named Hans Reine. The
Herbjornsrud side also goes back to Hans Reine. They are
descended through Ingi Baardsson Reine or Skulli
Baardsson Reine. How do you find the descendency of royal
people? Also who is Hans Reine and am I spelling his name
correctly? Does anyone have any genealogy on these
people? The rest of my family are from Buskerud Norway,
Eftelot sogn. Please write to cguida @ djam.com or Chris
