Posted on December 10, 2004 at 00:42:13 AM by
My great grandfather, Carl Oskar Hansen born 31 December 1875 in Vestre Aker
moved back to the place of his father's birth, Norderhov in around 1889 to 1890
and at the time of his marriage to Karolina Antonsdatter 8 August 1896, he was
working at Hadeland Glassverks as a glasscutter with her parents Peder Nielsen
and Karen Thomasdatter.
Would there be any history on my Great Grandfather Carl Oskar Hansen, he was a
fiddler also besides working at Hadeland and left for Gjovik before 1900.
Would anyone know if any information might be available on Carl possibly what
name or farm he lived on prior to his marriage to Karolina. His father's name
was Hans Andersen who was a sagemester probably at the Lower Lillo Sawmill or
the Guldhaug mill. I have been trying unsuccessfully in finding any information
on his parents' deaths or emigrations. I have alot of history genealogy on Peder
Nielsen Hvinden and his wife, Karen Thomasdatter who were working at Hadeland in
1900 including part of the Wentzel line from Germany if anyone is interested.
In all this information I am asking:
Can I find any history on Carl Oscar Hansen and his home in Norderhov before he
was married, when his mother Anne Mathea Christiansdatter born 4 October 1855 in
Fet, Akershus but lived with Hans Andersen, born 19 November 1850 in Norderhov,
but lived in Vestre Aker from 1875 to about 1889....
I have looked in the emigration records for Oslo and Christiania and cannot find
them emigrating, but not in the 1900 census for anywhere in Norway, I don't
understand what I am overlooking?
Also as I said, if anyone is interested in my Hvinden family from Gran and their
son-in-law Christian Wentzel born 1848 in Biri, son of Christian Ludvig Hansen
Wentzel, I can help.
Can anyone help direct me to the right resources?
Re(1): Hadeland Glassverks Employees IP: 195.159.176.62 Posted on December 19, 2004 at 01:46:01 PM by Dear Barbara ! Neither I am able to find Carl Oscar and/or Caroline in the 1900 cencus. Nor can I find any information related to their emigration from Norway. I suppose - what would be the perfect thing for you to look up in order to collect information concerning Carl prior to his marrige - would be the 1891 cencus, which in nearly all aspects is exceptionally detailed. However, it is equally difficult accessible ! It's beeing kept in the National Archive in Oslo, and available only by visiting this institution. It has not been microfilmed, and of course never processed by computer. Concequencley it will in most cases - especially at those occations when one does not know exactly in which part of the country ones ancestors lived this particular point of time - imply several day's work to go through this extremely extensive material ! I really wish I coul be to some help here, but find it very difficult to know in which way ! Faithfully, Kjell M. |

As your gg.grandpa and his siblings were born about a 175 years ago or so, any now living relatives - if they can be traced - would naturally be allmost extreamely distant; most likely 5th or 6th cousins. If this is important to you however, I suppose I could give it try. If that is the case, please hint me again. And - do please pay attentiom to our "Kontaktforum Hadeland-Amerika" (to which you will find a link at the top of this site) - probably you will be able to provide more information for us than vice versa !

Re(1): Ulrike Bergman IP: 67.210.28.32 Posted on November 4, 2004 at 08:06:29 AM by She arrived before they took the 1900 US census! Using the name Mary Bergman - she is living in Richland County, North Dakota (Abercombie township). Listed as born Aug. 1874 and immigrated 1900. She is listed as a servant in the household of Andrew Bakken (born 1863 Minnesota, occupation - farmer), his wife, Mary (born May 1871 Norway, immigrated 1885) and five young children. Also in the household are Andrew's parents - John O.

I have an extensive amount of information on the Hougtvedt but limited information on the descendants, other than my line, of Thomas Andersen and Kari Torstensdatter Hougtvedt. I have birth and christening records for their five children Thora, Randi, ole, Karen and Iver but seem to lose their children's families. In checking who left Gran, it seem that only one of Iver's son, Torsten emigrated to the US that I have found. Would you have any idea where all of them might have gone if they did not leave Gran? I was told by Kjell that Iver went to Brandbu, I will check there also. |

I just found this site. I'm looking for birthplace & ancestry of my
Greatgrandmother, Julia Johnson, born May 2,1853 in Hadeland. I have been told
her parents were Johannas Johnson & Marie Haug & a sister Martha & brother
Christian. Julia immigrated & lived in Abercrombie, North Dakota, then moved on
to Seattle. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Lori
Re(1): Julia Johnson IP: 195.159.178.160 Posted on September 29, 2004 at 06:13:44 AM by Dear Mrs. Flinn ! Your g.g.grandparents, John Johanesen of Grindereiet in Gran (ending "eiet" added to a farmname indicates a tenant farm) and Ingeborg Olsdtr. Gunstadeiet of Jevnaker were married in the Jevnaker church on dec. 12. 1841. Ingeborg was born at Gunstadeiet on may 5. 1817, as daughter of Ole Hansen and Kari Iversdtr. It is not possible to point out at which particular tenant farm to Gunstad Kari was born and lived; Gunstad being a major farm in the north of Jevnaker with all together six different tenant farms. John was born at Skårudeiet in western Gran on april 10. 1817, being the son of Johannes Johnsen and wife Mari Nilsdtr. Like so many other tenant farmers, John & Ingeborg with their gradually growing family happened to move around a lot. They had the following seven children : OLE, b. nov.29. 1843 at Melbostadeiet KAREN, b. jan.1 1848 at Skårudeiet, died at Hvindeneiet after four months, on may 18. KAREN (2) b.march 12. 1849 at Onsakereiet CHRISTIAN, b.aug.3. 1852 at Skårudeiet JULIA, b. Christmaseve 1865 (!) at Grindereiet JOHANNE, b.may 16. 1858 at Sandbakeiet ANNE, b. april 11. 1861 at Sandbakeiet The farms, or rather tenant farms, refered to above are all located in Gran, expect from Sandbakken which is in Brandbu. Interestingly enough, Onsaker is situated at the west-bank of the 3 miles wide lake Randsfjorden, while the others are to be found on the east-bank. The sister Martha refered to in your quiery have I not been able to find. Also note that the birthdate of Julia does not correspond with the information provided by you. However i have checked the churchrecords carefully on this point, and consequently am positive ! As stated, Julia was born in "Grindereiet," and I have managed to locate this particular tenant farm. All tenant farms had their own name, and this particular one belonging to Grinder was named "UGGEN". Uggen was originally a small timber-cabin containing two rather tiny rooms; just like the most of its kind. Unfortunately it's gone long time ago, but I do know the exact spot of its location. Visit Hadeland, and I promise to show you around. :-)) I'm also in the process of locating an old picture of Uggen. John's parents, Johannes and Mari, both ended their days in Uggen, living with their son and daughter-in-law. They passed away respectivley oct.11. 1838 and may 17. 1845 By 1863 John/Ingeborg and their family had been moving again; this time to a tenant farm belonging to Molstad in Brandbu, and named "Kalveløkkestua." This one was gone even before Uggen, but I am aware of its approximat location. Kalveløkkestua is also where Ingeborg Olsdtr. left this world, on january 22.1872. I do not have a lot of information on your g.grandmother or her siblings. Julia moved from Sandbakeiet on nov.12. 1878 to the Adal valley of Buskerud County. At the point of time she was unmaried. Most likely she emigrated from Ådal, but I am unable to confirm this. Ole, the oldest, certainly emigrated. He left Kalveløkkestua on june 6. 1870, titled "shomaker." I know for sure he went by Molstad as his familyname. He was embarking "S/S Scotia" in Oslo on june 14. His point of destination was La Crosse, Wisconsin. "Scotia," which was built 1866 by J & G Thompson & Co. of Glasgow, UK, was bought by the "Anchor Line" in 1869, and actually made it first trans-atlantic crossing in the year 1870. It took Ole and his fellow passengers via Hull, South Yorkshire, UK to "Granton Dock" in New York. I need to let you know taht I quite a number of years ago was contacted by an american descendant of Ole. His name was Clay L. Molstad, and according to my notes from back then he lived in Thief River Falls, MN. Enough for now. It's time for potato-harvest in Hadeland, but I will come back to you when I get the time to, and, hopefully, some more info. Yours respectfully, Kjell H Myhre |
Re(2): Julia Johnson IP: 66.228.237.162 Posted on September 29, 2004 at 04:38:15 PM by Dave Gunderson The detailed reply to this inquiry from Kjell Myhre "may" have a very slight typographical error. The Digitalakivit for Gran baptismal records shows that Julia, the daughter of John Johansen and Ingeborg Olsdtr was born 24 December 1855 and was baptized 17 February 1856. The farm is shown as GrinerEiet. The 1865 Norwegian Census shows the following for the Kalvelokkestuen farm: John Johannes. age 49 Ingeborg Olsd. wife age 49 Ole Johns. son age 23 Christian Johns. son age 14 Jolia Johnsd. daughter age 11 Johanna Johnsd. daughter age 8 Karen Johnsd. daughter age 17 Anne Johnsd. age 5. There is also an "out-migrant's record" from 12 November 1878 showing that Julia Johnsd. from the Sandtakeit farm, born in 1855, went to Aadalen. Again, this is a minor point - "1855" instead of "1865". Dave Gunderson Fergus Falls, MN |
Re(3): Julia Johnson IP: 68.226.99.225 Posted on September 30, 2004 at 07:02:58 PM by Thank you so much for your replies. I have relatives on the other side of my family living in Oslo, so I just may get to Norway one day soon. Julia married Sivert Sneen & lived in Abercrombie. He died & she married Peter Turnquist from Sweden. They moved on to Seattle. Why did Ole use the name Molstad? Thanks again, Lori |

Pedersdatter IP: 195.159.185.2 Posted on July 11, 2004 at 08:03:14 PM by Tom ! Marthe was born may 5th 1808 at the Dyrud farm, being daughter of Peder Pedersen Dyrud and his wife Mari Andersdtr. Peder & Mari got married on march 18th 1802 at the St. Nicolai Church of Gran. Mari was b. about 1775, as the second youngest of Anders Hansen and Pernille Jacobsdtr. Dyrud's six children. At the time beeing I have no further information on Peder Pedersen, except that he at the time of his marrige was living at the Dotset farm; neighbouring to Dyrud. However the couple seems to have settled at Dyrud. The Dyrud and Dotset farms are both located west of the lake Einavatnet, in Vestre Toten municpality of Oppland county. The Toten region border on Hadeland in the south, and intermarriges between these communities has been somewhat common at all times. Respectfully, K. Myhre

Re(1): Lars
Hansen/Hilden/Tomasgjerdet IP: 66.228.237.162 Posted on June 12, 2004 at 08:14:47 AM by FamilySearch shows a Gulbiør Andersdatter baptised 6 August 1780 in Gran. She was the daughter of Anders Gulbrandsen and Dortha Christophersdatter. They appear to have married 3 July 1780 in Gran. The 1801 Census shows Gulbiør Andersdatter [age 21], the daughter of Anders Gulbrandsen and Dorthe Christophersdatter, living on the Hilden Farm. There are a total of six children shown. In FamilySearch, I see a marriage record for Gubjør Andersdatter and Lars Hansen 25 Sep 1813 in Gran. This is probably the correct one. Per the Digitalarkivet, I found the following children of Lars Hansen and Gubiør Andersdatter: Hans - born 18 Sept 1813 Hilden Farm Pernille - born 14 May 1815 Hilden Farm Kari - born 1 Sept 1816 Smedrue Farm Hans - born 15 May 1819 Tokerud Farm Mari - born 27 July 1823 Tokerud Farm Hans - born 11 Oct 1825 Tokerud Farm Anders - born 11 October 1825 Tokerud Farm Hans - born 25 July 1828 Tokerud Farm Since 4 sons were named Hans, it is clear that the first 3 died as infants or children. I could not seem to find that either Kari or Mari left Norway in the out-migrant's records. I see a number of marriage records, of which several might be the correct Kari and Mari Larsdatter. I did find in the Gran out-migrants records, the departure records for Anders Larsen [born 11 Oct 1828], his wife Anne Pedersdatter [born 26 Sept 1821], and their children. They left Gran 9 April 1861. They had been living on the Tokerud Farm. There is also a departure record, the same date, for Hans Larsen [born 25 July 1828], his wife Johanne Hansdatter [born 10 August 1830], and their children. They had been living on the Buxerud Farm. In short, two brothers and their families left Gran the same day for America. I found the departure records of great interest to me personally. On April 9, 1861, my great, great uncle Niels Olsen Tokerud, and his brother Ole Olsen Tokerud, and spouse, also left Gran for America. I would guess that they probably traveled on the same ship to America. They would have clearly known your family in Norway. My great, great uncles went to Quebec and initially settled near Racine, WI. |

Ole Amundson Velo, December 18, 1844. I am trying to establish whether he
was born in Jevnaker or Ringerike, possibly Hole? There is an Ole in the
Protocols that states he was working at the Hadeland Glassworks but, this
still does not establish a birth place for me or whom his parents, siblings
are. In the Minnesota, Wilkin County, All Townships Census, his immigration
date is listed as 1869. I have one brother listed as Andrew or Andreas.
There also was a Martin Hans Velo, same place in Wilkin. It was brought to
my attention that Ole and Martin might be brothers but still no evidence.
Ole's death certificate states that his father is named Ammund and Martin's
death certificate has his fathers name listed as Hans. Both certificates say
that the mother's name is Marie. Andrew or Andreas Velo also has his
father's name listed as Hans and his mother as Marie. Same mother, different
fathers? US Federal census has a "Andrew" with similar birth date as the
Andreas Velo that I have a death certificate for, listed as the brother of
Ole Amundson Velo. Any information regarding his parents, siblings or
further information regarding Ole is greatly appreciated.

My great great grandfather, Ole Anders Bratvold b 1833and wife Mali
Knutdatter, came from Noway to Minnesota before 1858. His father's name was
Anders Gulbrandson Bratvold. My maternal grandfather was Lars Myhre who came
from Norway in the late 1880s to Minnesota and then Alberta Canada. His
wife's name was Elise. Anyone know information on these families or
individuals?

Re(1): Norwegien ancestors IP: 195.159.181.136 Posted on February 16, 2004 at 07:15:22 PM by Dear Mr. Bratvold ! I have made an attempt to search for your ancestors based on the information given in the query in various Norwegaian sources, but this far unfortunately without success. Both Bratvold and Myhre are well-known farm names from the Hadeland area, located respectively in the municipalities of Jevnaker and Gran. However noone by the name Ole Andersen is born in Jevnaker 1833 +/-. Nor is any Anders Guldbrandsen father to any other children born in Jevnaker during the 1830's. Neither in Gran, the neighbouring Hadeland-minicipality. I take it you're confident that your g.g.grandfather was born in, or at least emigrated from the Hadeland area of Norway. May I therefore allow myself to suggest that you perhaps go through the information you do have available once more, simply to make absolutely sure no misunderstandings has taken place at any time, as far as names and dates are concerned. You are very welcome indeed to come back to me any time, and I promise to do my outermost to assist you in this matter. I won't however neglect the fact that the farm name Bratvold is no way unique to Hadeland and Jevnaker. It does, as a matter of fact, exist more than 30 farms (or previous tenant farms) by this name spread throughout the country. In conclusion, I look forward to hear from you again ! Respectfully, Kjell H Myhre |
Re(1): Norwegien ancestors IP: 66.228.237.162 Posted on February 18, 2004 at 06:25:51 PM by As a very, very amateur genealogist, I thought I might make an effort at trying to find some information on this inquiry. On Ancestry.Com, I found Ole A. Bratvold [born 15 Feb 1833,died 03 Aug 1906] and Mali Knudsdatter Bratvold [born 8 Sep 1834, died 23 Dec 1896]. I searched on FamilySearch.Com and found a marriage of Mali Knudsdr and Ole Andersen on 13 April 1852 at Skrautvaal, Oppland, Norway - husband aged 20, wife aged 18. The bride's father was Knud Knudsen. The groom's father was Anders Olsen. I again searched and found a Mali Knudsdattr, the daughter of Knud Knudsen and Jorand Olsdatter, christened 21 Sep 1834 in Nord Aurdal, Oppland, Norway. I seached on the Internet and found a page on Nettsurfer.com [Norsk Sjofart, Maritim Industri og fritidsbåter] that referenced an Ole Bratvold 1833-1906 married Mali Knutesdater Gigstad in 1852 & sailed the next day for Wisconsin. Established a farm at Kenyon, MN in 1859, and remained on it until he died. I found Knut Knudsen, aged 1, on the Gigstad Farm in the 1801 Census. Knud Knutsen was still on the Gigstad Farm in the 1865 Census. The only thing that is possibly wrong from the information you provided is the name of Ole Andersen Bratvold's father - Anders Gulbrandsen, or should it be Anders Olsen? Knud Knudsen and his wife had many children. I hope my efforts were of some use. |
Re(2): Norwegien ancestors IP: 153.110.200.82 Posted on February 20, 2004 at 07:11:49 AM by Mr.Gunderson ! Being an amateur or not - you've located the correct family here ! As it seems, these people after all didn't have any actual connection with Hadeland. As I poïnted out in my reply to Mr. Bratvold's inquiry, the Bratvold farm-name is to be found several places in our country, such as in Skrautvaal, North Aurdal Valey, Valdres region of Norway. According to an e-mail sent me by Mr. Bratvold, he's already aware of this actual "Valdres link" However Mr.Gunderson, you deserve credit on your investigations ! Keep up with the good work, and it's just a question of time until you're entitled to consider yourself a "professional" ..... :-))) |

My Great Grandmother was Julia Gulbyor Holey a/k/a (Gudbjorg Hole). She was
married to Brede Onsager, son of Anders Pedersen Onsager.
She was born in 12 Nov. 1869 in Norway. Her father was Lars Holey.
Information that was given to me by my grandmother is difficult to confirm
and attention was not given to accurate spellings. This is what I have:
Gudbjorg Hole born 12 Nov. 1869, died 6 Nov. 1932. Her parents were Lars
Mikkelson Hole and Gudbjorg Blekken.
Lars' parents were Mikkel Rokin and Gudbjorg Thomti. Can anyone confirm any
of this as I feel that the spellings and variations could be great. Thanks
again for your assistance in the past.

I know that Torger and wife came over to America 1870 with three children to
the Northwood Iowa area and then later moved to Northwood ND with 6
children, but Anne was not with them.
Torger Onsager b 6/29/1839 at Gran Prestegjeld Oppland Norway.
Syverine Christensdatter Larsen b 1/03/1841 at Jevnagers Prestegjeld
Oppland,Norway. Hans Torgersen Onsager b 4/29/1862
Anne Thorgersdatter Onsager b 9/11/1865
Iver T. Onsager b 4/8/1869
I do believe that they may have been Hanson at one time. They are from the
area around Lake Randsfjorden and had worked I believe on an Onsaker farm. I
am looking for any further information as to Iver's, & Severine's Parents
and Siblings. Will appreciate any and all information

Just a brief note to let you (and others who might have interst in this family) know that further information can be provided. I will contact you directley as soon as time allowes me to. However, there are no direct relationship between the Onsager's you refere to above, and the family refered to by Brady Onsager. Respectfullly, K.Myhre |
Re(2): Torger & Severine/Syverine Onsager IP: 206.145.179.85 Posted on January 28, 2004 at 12:01:31 PM by Dear Mr. Myhre.

Re(3): Torger & Severine/Syverine Onsager IP: 195.159.191.163 Posted on January 28, 2004 at 06:31:16 PM by Mrs. Sansburn ! I do of course not doubt that there, most likely, might exist a relaisonship between the respective families throug intermarige in the U.S. as you describe. My point was rather to emphasise that there is no connection through the actual Onsager line. Brede Onsager and his family were residing at JÆGERSBORG, Torger Onsagers family at HAGESTUA - both tenant farms to Onsager, after which both took in possession their "new" surnames in America. However, could you plese confirm wether you're a descendant of Torger Onsager or not ? And in case you are, would you like me to provide further information on this family ? Also, please pay attention to our Kontakt-forum, and fill out the electronic form linked to this site. Your information is valuable ! All Yours, Kjell M. |
Re(4): Torger & Severine/Syverine Onsager IP: 198.174.213.8 Posted on January 28, 2004 at 07:51:23 PM by Yes I am a decendent of Torger & Syverine Onsager. They are my Great Grandparents. I do know that when they came to America their last name was Hansen and like many others took the name of a farm that Torger had worked on. Their 3rd child Iver who was born around Gran "Parish" Hadeland on April 8, 1869 and came with his parents and 2 siblings Hans T. and Anne Thorgersdatter, is my Grandfather. He married a Julia (Johnson) Rockne. My fathers name was Eddie J. Ohnsager. AT some point an "H" was put in our name to distinquish from the other Onsager's that lived around Northwood, ND. They settled around Northwood, IA coming to the Northwood, ND area in 1878 with 6 children in all. There were twins Anton T. & Gulbrand T.,Ingebor & Christine who was born in 1878 and was a small baby when Torger and Syverine moved by oxen. Anne was not with them, I do not know what happened to her wheather she died or got married. Yes, I would like very much for you to find out more about my Great Grandparents if at all possible. I would be happy to fill out the eletronic form linked to this site but I do not know how to get to it. Unless it is the 3 lines below the message box at this site. I do not know what the Link Name is, URL link, Image URL so please bare with me as I am rather new to this type of Contact information. Thank You Sincerely Meredith |
