Anders Hansen
and Karen Olsdatter (Gronbraaten)
IP: 68.118.52.140
Posted on December 27, 2005 at 04:32:39 AM by
Hi,
I was wondering if you have any further information or could tell me how I could
aquire any further information on Anders Hansen and Karen Olsdatter. They are my
GG grandparents. There son, Ole Julius Anderson, is listed on your site. He is
my great grandfather. You say that you are looking for more information on his
family (see link below). home.comcast.net/~goldendogy/.../AndersonArchive_McNeilIsland.html
I know they were born in Jevnaker/Lunner but I don't know the correct farm names
or locations. I am also not sure if there is a Bygedebok for this area, as I am
new to the genealogy field.
Any information would be great and I look forward to becoming a member.
Thanks,
Jeremy Anderson

Re(1): Anders Hansen and Karen Olsdatter (Gronbraa IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 28, 2005 at 07:16:41 AM by First all, thanks to the November, 2004 Brua, this was very easy. I'm just adding a few items. Anders Hansen was born 18 Feb 1841 at the Olimb Farm in Jevnaker. Karen Olsdatter was born 1 Aug 1839 in Lunner, the daughter of Ole Andersen and Birte Christensdatter. She was baptized 18 Aug 1839 in Jevnaker. She had one brother that I found - Martin Olsen, who was born 28 Nov 1841 and was baptized 26 Dec 1841 in Jevnaker. In the 1865 Norwegian Census, Anders Hansen was working on Kildal af Melaas. In the same census, Karen Olsdatter was living on Grønbratten with her brother Martin Olsen - he was unmarried. Anders Hansen and Karen Olsdatter were married in Jevnaker 10 April 1867. The marriage shows the residence of Anders as the Olimb Farm and his birthplace as the Kildal Farm. He is age 26. The residence and birthplace of Karen Olsen is shown as the Grønbratten Farm. Karen is age 27. The father of Anders Hansen is shown as Hans Christophersen. The father of Karen is shown as Ole Andersen. They had the following children: Ivar - born 2 May 1871 Jevnaker Birthe Maria - born 2 Feb 1868 " " Anne Petra - born 16 Feb 1874 " " Ole Julius - born 16 Feb 1874 " " Karoline - born 30 Sept 1876 " " Hanna - born 22 Sept 1877 " " Markus - born 27 Nov 1880 at Skedsmo In the 1875 Census, the family was living on the Kildal Melaas Farm in Jevnaker. The "out-migrant's record shows that the entire family left Jevnaker in 1880? for Nitedal in Akershus. I could find a departure record for Anders Hansen and his son Iver Andersen showing they left Kristiania for the US on 27 Feb 1891 with a destination of Dawson, Minnesota. With respect to the farms, Kildal is located about 1/2 km east, southeast of Lunner. It would appear to me that the other residences would also be very close to Lunner. In the 1900 US Census, I see Andrew Hanson living with his wife Karen and son Markus in Barto Township, Roseau County, Minnesota. In the records of Hvidso Bethania Lutheran Church, Greenbush, MN, it appears that Anders Hansen and his family joined the church 15 Nov 1895. Three children are shown: Ole Julius Markus Ivar. What happened to Birthe Maria, Anne Petra, Karoline and Hanna? Dave Gunderson Fergus Falls, MN |

Posted on December 23, 2005 at 08:21:21 AM by
The following information is from the Family Bible, as entered by Julie. I am
interested in information pertaining to any of the individuals and also the
locations in Norway.
They arrived in NY 6 Sept 1882.
The family began using the name RANDBY (aka RAMBY, RABBY, varies by record)
circa 1884. (Note that the last 3 children were listed as KLAUSEN in the Bible,
well after 1884) The story told by the decendents is "there were so many
KLAUSEN's", the Mail was frequently mixed up. All the K's were also changed to
C's.
There seems to be some relationship between the name RANDBY and the location
Randbyeie. Where is Randbyeie, Ullensager? Is it a farm?
Konrad was my Grandfather. My parents and I lived with him for 8 years. I have
fond memories and a fair amount of information if anyone is interested.

Re(1): KLAUSEN Family IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 23, 2005 at 11:48:28 AM by While I visited the Hadeland Glassworks in Jevnaker this summer, I was unaware that there was also a glassworks in Biri. From the brief time I spent on this, it is clear there was a movement of workers between the two glassworks. I find a marriage record for Hans Christian Pedersen, residence "Hadelands Glasværk", birthplace "Hadelands Glasværk" and Regine Marie Stalberg, residence "Biri Glasværk", birthplace "Biri Glasværk". Hans was 25 and Regine was 26. The father of Hans was Peder Hansen and the father of Regine was Christian Stalberg [Hans Christian Pedersen Stalberg?]. The marriage occurred 27 Oct 1846 in Jevnaker. On Family Search.Com, I found the following children born to Hans and Regine: Hagbart Martinius Hansen - baptized 2 June 1850 Jevnaker Julie Laurenze Hansen - baptized 4 Jul 1852 Jevnaker Carl August Hansen - baptized 25 Mar 1855 Jevnaker. In the 1855 birth record, Regine is shown as Regine Christiansdatter. The Jenaker "Out-migrant's record shows that Hans Pedersen, age 34, Regine Marie Petersen, age 35, Hagbart Martin, born 15 April 1850; Carl August Hansen, born 4 Feb 1855 and Julie Laurenze Hansdatter , born 1 June 1852 left Jevnaker 20 Dec 1855 for Biri. In the 1865 Norwegian Census, I see a Regine Pedersdatter, age 46, pensionist, son Hagbarth Pedersen, age 16, Karl Pedersen, age 11, Hanna K. Pedersen and Regine M. Pedersen, age 9, at the Biri Glassworks. While the last names of the children should be Hansen/Hansdatter, it appears that this is the correct record. Hagbarth is a very rare name in Norway. It would appear from this Biri record that the father, Hans Pedersen is dead in 1865. I see a Jule K. Pedersen on the record above Regine - her age is 12 - a recording error? The next record I find for Julie Laurentse Pedersdatter is an out-migrant's record from Jevnaker to Ullensaker - År shos 1876 and Dato shows 1874 - I don't know what the difference is! Her date of birth is shown as 1 June 1852. I would guess she came from Biri to work at the Hadeland Glassworks. In FamilySearch.Com, I find a marriage record for a Christian Clausen and Julie Laurentse Petersen at 1 Jul 1877 at Paulus Menighet, Oslo, Akershus, Norway. This is an unusual name combination for a bride and groom - correct - I don't know? I see many other Stalbergs in Biri. My research is entirely done on-line. Obivously Biri would be a good place for you to look, in addition to Ullensaker. While you show the first child born 5 Ogtober 1876, it is remarkable that another Christian Clausen and Julie Laurentse Pedersen were married in Oslo on 1 July 1877. An examination of that record on LDS microfilm might be interesting. While Hans Christian Pedersen was shown on the marriage record as being born at the Hadeland Glassworks, I couldn't find anything on him. I'm sure that others with access to the Jevnaker birth records or LDS microfilm might have more information. I see many Stalbergs on FamilySearch.Com at Biri. Some information on Regine Stalberg was submitted by an apparent member of the LDS church. Obviously Biri in Oppland and Ullensaker in Akershus would be good places to look for additional information. There is not much on-line at those two areas! Sorry I couldn't help more!!!!

Re(1): KLAUSEN Family IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 24, 2005 at 05:17:09 AM by I want to thank Kjell for his kind comments. I do subscribe to Ancestry.Com. I thought I would try searching on the name "Stalberg". I found that a Norwegian had placed a Gedcom file on Ancestry.Com that included about 1,400 individuals. Julie Laurence Hansdatter, born 1 June 1852 is included. I created an ancestry gedcom file for Julie to find the oldest ancestor listed for her. It turns out to be a Heinrich Erich, born 1716 in Mecklenburg, Germany. He died in 1799 in "Hadeland, Ringerike". His occupation was shown as "Glasspuster" in this Gedcom file. I then ran a descendant Gedcom file starting with Heinrich Erich. This produced a Family Treemaker database with 602 individuals in it. There is no information in this for Julie Laurence Hansdatter except her date of birth. I have E-Mailed a 48 page descendant report to Mr. Kluetz and a 4 page ancestry report.

Lieker østre
farm in Jevnaker
IP: 68.112.189.162
Posted on December 15, 2005 at 06:43:07 AM by
I am looking for information on Ole Johannesen b ab. 1842. In the 1865 census he
is working on Lieker østre farm in Jevnaker. When he sailed for America in 1871
he added Kyteeie to his surname. His wife was Martha Halvorsdatter b. ab.1852-3.
They were born in Jevnaker. Is there a map of farms for Jevnaker on the internet
or could someone tell me the names of farms close to Lieker østre so that I
might search for Ole's father Johannes who may have lived close by?
Thank You Kindly
Re(1): Lieker østre farm in Jevnaker IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 15, 2005 at 10:44:12 AM by I think I can help a little, but I'm sure others could help much more. I do see the 28 April 1871 departure record of Ole Johannesen, his wife Marthe and his daughter Karen. My guess is that "Kyteeie" [Kytee Eiet] is possibly the Kytterud Farm in Jevnaker, but is more likely the "Hytta" Farm by Lunner. The last name of a Norwegian in the 19th Century was his address. When they came to the US, they frequently used their last Norwegian address as their new surname. I see a marriage record in Jevnaker, 25 April 1870 where Ole Johansen, residence Mortveiten, born at Kjørven 27 April 1844 married Marte Halvorsdatter, residence Lia [Lien] Farm, born at Lia 3 March 1852. There is a Kjørven Farm just southwest of Lunner - this may be the correct one. There is a Mortveiten Farm about 2-3 miles east of Lunner. There is a Lia [Lien]Farm about 1 mile north of Mortveiten. On the wedding record, the father of Ole Johansen is given as Johan Johansen. The father of Marte Halvorsdatter is given as Halvor Christophersen. In the 1865 Census, a Marte Halvorsdatter is shown living with her parents Halvor Kristophersen and Randi Larsdatter, and 7 other siblings on the Lien [Lia] Farm by Lunner. Shifting gears again, I find a Jevnaker baptismal record dated 26 June 1870 for Karen Olsdatter, parents Ole Johansen and Marthe Halvorsdatter. Lunner is the local church - Jevnaker is the main parish. Under Norwegian naming customs, the 1st son is nearly always named after the father father, the first daughter after the father's mother. I do see a Johan Johannesen and wife Karen Johnannesdatter living on the Maalerud Farm in Jevnaker in the 1865 Census, with 2 sons and a daughter. This may be the father of Ole. Again, some of these names sound familiar, probably from my June trip to Norway, and conversations with other members of our group. I hope this is of some help. Anyway, you need to join the Hadeland Lag! Dave Gunderson Fergus Falls, Minnesota |
Re(1): Lieker østre farm in Jevnaker IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 16, 2005 at 05:48:43 AM by I have now concluded that Johan Johansen - Karen Johannsdatter are probably not the correct parents for Ole Johansen. I have found a baptismal record for an Ole Johannesen, baptised 23 June 1844 in Jevnaker - parents Johan Johannesen and Karen Olsdatter. These would seem to be much better candidates for being the parents of Ole. Dave Gunderson |

Re(1): Nasbakken IP: 66.228.250.65 Posted on December 1, 2005 at 09:01:55 AM by Just one minor addition to what I have previously posted on this inquiry. I did find the Hans Andersen Næsbakken Family in the 1900 Norwegian Census. They were living at Rosendal. Hans Andersen is shown as some sort of quarry worker, and as an apparent fiddle musician. His wife Sirid Gustavsdatter appears to have been a seamstress. The son shown in the 1903 emmigration record as "Arnt", is shown in this record as Johan Arent Hansen. He appears to have been born 15 March 1900 in Kristiana. Sigrid is shown as being born in 1876. |

Anders Olesen Helland born April 21, 1877 in Vestnes, Norway came to

In about 1908 he had a falling out with his brothers, Kristoffer Olesen
Helland and Hans Olesen Helland. He returned to Norway shortly
thereafter but returned to America shortly thereafter never again to
make family contact. Would appreciate help with this search.

Re(1): Ostlie..... IP: 66.228.250.185 Posted on August 9, 2005 at 05:00:26 PM by I spent some time researching this inquiry on the Internet, with respect to Gunder and Elina Halvorson. I did find the 1880 Census record for Bergen Township, McLeod County. It lists 4 children - all of whom were born in Minnesota - the oldest son, Halvor, being about 15 in 1880. Based on Norwegian naming practices he is clearly the oldest son. Thus, Gunder Halvorson and his wife Elina were in the US prior to 1865 or 1866. Based on their ages, it is conceivable that they married in the United States. The 1880 Census Record shows a son Eduard - aged 13. I did find him in the 1900 US Census, still in Bergen Township, McLeod County. A more exact date of birth for him was Feb., 1867. In the 1900 Census, he was married to Clara A. Larson [born June, 1872 in Minnesota]. They had 4 daughters: Mabel - Aug, 1894; Ella H. - March, 1896; Cora - March, 1998; and Alice - Feb., 1900. I also searched in Minnesota Hist. Soc. death records and found the following: A Gunder Halvorson, born about 1826, died 1 March 1905 in McLeod County. A Elene Halvorson died 5 April 1908 in McLeod County. It is very possible that these two "might" be the correct ones. I looked in both FamilySearch and in the The Digital Inn - no immediate prospects for the Norwegian origins of Gunvor Halvorson and Elina "jumped out at me"! Ella Halvorson married Clifford William Beise, born 5 March 1896 in McLeod County, 25 June 1919 in Bergen Township, McLeod County, MN. Ella H. Beise died 23 Feb 1988 in New Richland, Waseca County, MN. They had four children - Cecil; Clyde; Elaine and Janet. Someone has been working on a Beise genealogy. Minnesota Historical Society death records show an Edward Halvorson died 26 July 1921 in McLeod County, MN. Bergen Township is between Glencoe and Lester Prairie, MN. Obviously either obits or church death records from McLeod County might provide enough info to ascertain the exact place in Norway that Gunder and Elina Halvorson came from. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |

Ole were born in the 1850-1855 (Ole in 1855) timeframe and they came to

Many of sponsors were from the Giøvig Farm. To me, as an amateur genealogist, that confirms that this is the correct Karen Larsdatter. In FamilySearch.com, I found a Karen Larsdatter baptized 18 MAY 1783 in Gran - parents: LARS TORGERSEN and GUBIOR GULBRANSDR. Dave Gunderson Fergus Falls, Minnesota |

On FamilySearch.com, I found the following baptisms in Gran for parents named Amund Amundsen and Maren Olsdatter: KIERSTI AMUNDSDTR - baptized 04 JUN 1770 OLE AMUNDSEN - baptized 20 APR 1772 ANE AMUNDSDTR - baptized 25 SEP 1774 BERTHE AMUNDSDTR - baptized 12 JUL 1778 I find a baptismal record for Amund Amundsen dated 14 AUG 1746. The parents were AMUND GULBRANDSEN and KIRSTI AMUNDSDATTER - the names seem correct. I found a marriage record for Amund Amundsen and Maren Olsdatter in Gran on 11 APR 1769. I found a marriage record for AMUND GULBRANDSEN and KIRSTI AMUNDSDATTER dated 06 MAY 1727 in Gran. Other children of AMUND GULBRANDSEN and KIRSTI AMUNDSDATTER would appear to be as follows: GULBRAND AMUNDSEN - baptized 20 APR 1738 ANNE AMUNDSDTR - baptized 26 JUN 1735 MARIE AMUNDSDTR - baptized 17 JUN 1730 HANS AMUNDSEN - baptized 05 FEB 1741 BIRTHE AMUNDSDTR - baptized 24 JUN 1733 Dave Gunderson Fergus Falls, MN |

Norwegian name (?)

I have been trying to help my husband locate his paternal grandfather's
Norwegian ancestry since 1974. His name was Emil Sorensen on all American
records. Birthdate and place was given as 2 September 1865-67 in "Bergenskanten",
Norway. We can locate all American records and none list any information
other than "Bergenskanten". My question is, could "Emil" have been a
nickname for some other Norwegian name? Are there any ideas on where to
look, how to find him? (My husband's mother is the last of 13 children (she
is now 83 years old) and was 10 years old when Emil died. She remembers
nothing at all about him, and simply gets annoyed when we keep trying to get
more information...) All of her 12 siblings are now dead.) Any thoughts,
ideas would be celebrated. Thanks.

Re(1): Norwegian name (?) IP: 213.234.72.179 Posted on April 3, 2005 at 05:37:54 PM by Dear Mrs. Myers ! I have spent quite a lot of time going through the emigration records for all municipalities which make up the county of Hordaland, of which the city of Bergen (Norways second largest) also is a part, unfortunately without finding the name of Emil Sorensen ! Also the Bergen church-records have I been looking through for the relevant period of time of Emils birth, without succsess. If you are able to come up with SOMEWHAT more detailed infromation concerning the geographic area of Emil's place of living, it would most likely make things easier. Emil IS a norwegian mansname, though not among those most in common. He could theoretically have had a compound name, but I've been checking that possibility too. Have you tried to search the American 1900-census (?) If you do know in which state Emil setteled, it might just be worth a try. Sincerely, K. Myhre |

I have found Olaus Bjerke in the 1910 and 1930 Census. So, he was still
living in 1930.
In 1910 he was listed as Olaus with Gorene and Tillie O. and Jens W. (Litchville
Township, LaMoure, ND).
In 1930, he was listed as Olaves O. and Gorine O. There were no children
then. (Barnes County, Rosebud township, ND).
If someone can look up any death certs after 1930 in ND, they might be able
to find some info.
I did find a death in Minnesota for a Olaus Jenson Bjerke. Jenson was
Gurines maiden name. I thought this was strange. I can go pull that death
cert in MN. Perhaps this Olaus was a child of Olaus and Gurine.

Would Birthe Jensdatter be a relative of Maria or Marie Nilson Olson - my greatgrandmother, your grandmother? Her relatives took the name of Stabo when they came to the US. Ole Nilson Stabo was her brother. He came to the US before Maria. |

were with Anders Iversen-bn 1787 in Olimsdahlen Jevnaker & Brynild Olsen- bn
1783 in Gulleneie Jevnaker --Died 26 Mar 1834 in Ostre Olim Jevnaker.
Peter & Anne has a son Paul Pederson bon 1841 in Rustadie Jevnaker , I am

of the family immigrated to USA in about 1876-1880. Minnesota & then North
Dakota USA
Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Re(1): origin of nickname IP: 213.234.72.239 Posted on January 12, 2005 at 09:56:59 PM by Dear Rondi ! Your name does not necesarrily have to be a nick. Randi is, and has been for centuries, a common name indeed in Norway. However if your mother actually informed you this is the case, the original (family) name might have been "Rangdi", "Ragnhild" or "Rangdine". These three are now used more rearley, and really nothing but different variations of the very same name. The name is typically Norse, and dates back to the viking age. In the old-Norse language, the prefix "Ragn" or "Rand" is beieved to mean "advice", or "decision" Sincerely, Kjell M. |
