Thank you for the information. I do not read or speak Norwegian, but am able to
stumble my way through the interpretation! I can fill most of the blanks that
you have. I have heard from the church in Brandbu with possible relatives from
my grandfather's sister, Kirsti, and hope that I can establish a correspondence
with one or more of the people. Thank you again.

Ulven is the name of a farm in Gran. People typically used the farm name as
their last name. Olsdtr is a patronymic - Maria was Ole's daughter. The year on
these old trunks is often the year of emigration...but I found no good matches
in 1865. I did find a Marie Olsdtr Ulven who left with her parents, Ole and
Gjertrud, and sisters Kirsti, Gulline, Julie, and Elise and a brother Ole in
1869. They are listed in the church records leaving the parish on April 19. So
the family likely came to America in the spring or early summer of 1869. Don't know if this is the right Maria, but maybe one of the names sounds
familiar and will "ring a bell!"

Dear Rose !
There are a few candidates who might match the female who had her name painted
on your trunk. Do you happen to have any further information on her ? E.g. her
approximate year of birth, the name of her possible spouse, the date of
her/their emigration, etc. Would Maria Olsdtr. be an ancestor of yours ?
I’d like to hear from you again; and to receive any additional information that
you might have on this matter !
Yours sincerely, Kjell M

I am desperate for information on the Hall family. Rasmus Hall and his 2nd wife Louise Vorland Hall were members of the Hadeland
Lag between 1910 and 1989. Any other information on the Rasmus Hall family would
be greatly appreciated.

Last week while searching your website I saw a reference to this couple who
settled in Madison, SD, and questions about their burial sites along with that
of his parents. I have answers and would like to be in touch with others who are
connected to this family.
Bileth Ancestry - Desperate!!!

Bileth
My name is Samantha Bileth. My husband's name is Jason Bileth. His great great grandpa was John
Abraham Bileth born September 4th 1874 in Norway. Both of John's parents were
Norwegian as well. They immigrated to America in 1885 or 1888 (writing is not
very legible on census) He passed away before 1937 so he never recieved a ss#
His parents immigrated here when he was 10-18 yrs old or so and he has one
brother named Christen Lars Bileth and a sister named Bessie Bileth. I am
completely unable to find any information on any immigration passenger list or
any other type of document anywhere that gives me any clue on where they came
from or what John's parents names may have been. They moved to Michigan when
they came to America and one family has moved to Chicago Illinois, Desc. of John
Abraham have moved to Florida, but the majority of all of the desc. of all three
that immigrated here are still in Michigan. Can anyone please guide me in any
kind of direction as to how to find John's parents or where he comes
from?????Please and thank you so much for your time! Have a wonderful day
everyone!!!

I have found information that Abraham Bileth was the father of Lawrence (Leigh)
Bileth, who is the father of Jack Bileth -the father of my father-. Does that
make us related?

I can't help you much. I do see a Lawrence Leigh Bileth who was born 26 Jan 1906 & died 31 Jan 1995 in Allegan, MI. He was a son
of Abraham & Ella Bileth, who lived in Kent County, MI. In turn, Abraham was the
son of Ole & Elise Bileth who were living in Kent County, MI in 1910.

These persons are not from Hadeland. They came from Kragero, Telemark, Norway.
The key is the information in the US censuses. In two of the censuses he is
listed as Abraham Bileth rather than John. Nearby on at least one is a man and woman old enough to
be his parents, also from Norway. The woman's name matches the emigration record
below.
Abraham left Norway from Oslo/Kristiania with his mother and 2 brothers in April 1888.
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=18&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=105204&sokefelt=skjul
Kragero church records for the month and year of birth that Abrahm listed in the
1900 US census have been scanned and are available freely online. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=5969&idx_id=5969&uid=ny&idx_side=-227

Decent peace of work, Mr. Hopkins!
And here Samantha -
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?show=40&uid=42208&urnread_imagesize=gigant&hode=nei&ls=1
- you’ll find the marriage of seaman Ole Larsen and maiden Elise Margrethe
Abrahamsen on March 19th 1871. As you can see, they were born respectively
August 26th 1843 in Bamble, Telemark, and March 3rd 1851 in “Smedsbukten.”
Smedbukten, (“the blacksmiths inlet”) which used to be a part of Kragerø town.
As you furthermore will see by following Mr. Hopkins’s link above, this is also
Ole & Elise’s domicile by the time of Abraham’s birth 1873. Also notice that
Ole, as well as all of Abraham’s sponsors were seamen, and seamen’s wives. For
some perplexed reason, Abraham at this occasion is referred to as “Abraham
Johnsen”; most likely as the consequence of a spelling mistake.
As at I least didn’t get Mr. Hopkins’s link to (Elise) Margrethe, Amraham,
Christian, and Lars’ emigration of April 6th 1888 to function properly, I allow
myself to repeat it as follows:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=15&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=105204&merk=105204#ovre
If necessary, please take time to rewrite the entire web-address rather than
copy and paste. Though cumbersome, this method at some occasions seems to be the
most successful one. Even though I haven’t succeeded to manifest it elsewhere, it seems evident from
this site that Ole Larsen have emigrated at an earlier point of time. Margrethe is titled “married woman”; indicating that Ole is unquestionably
alive.
Do also pay attention to this link to the 1865 census of Kragerø, Smedsbugten, dwelling no. 16 :
It lists Elise Margrethe at the age of fifteen, her siblings, as well as her
parents; boat builder Abraham Johnsen and his wife Mette Johannesdtr. – born
respectively about 1813 and 1815.
Yours very sincerely, Kjell M.

Christian was the younger brother of my great great grand father John A (Abrahm
John) Bileth. The Bileth family name only extends back one generation from there
to Ole Larson who had his name changed during immigration in 1888 with his wife
Elisa, Lawrence, my great great grandfather John, and the aforementioned
Christian. All three children were born in Norway between 1872 and 1882.

Searching for information on my great-great grandparents. Ole & Isabella Myren
came from Hadeland and settled in Wis. Ole b. Aug 21 1825 & Isabella b. abt
1826. Their oldest daughter Ingebor (Englslang) was born Sep 27 1857 in
Hadeland. Daughter Caroline was born Jul 18 1863 in Wis. So they emigrated
between 1857 and 1863. Another daughter Christina was born in 1865 and Isabella
died about that time. Does anyone have information about this family?

Johannes Nilssen and Kirsti Christensdatter had two daughters that probably
stayed in Norway:
- Margrete. I think she was living alonge in Vingers, Hedmark, in 1900.
- Christianne (Kristianne. I think she married Ole Bredesen, and was living in
Gran in 1900.
Does anyone know anything about them after 1900? Did they ever leave Norway?
When and where did they die?
Thanks.

Hi
it's 2 years since you posted your request. Since I know a few Bredesen, I just checked on Digitalarkivet at uib.no. Here you can find the
census of 1900 also for Gran, Hadeland. I found a Ole Bredesen b. 1875 married
to a Kristianne JOhansen b. 1863. They lived at the cotter farm Åsengen, and had
two sons Karl b 1896 and Kolbjørn b. 1899. I have not checked further, since
they would be Karl Olsen and Kolbjørn Olsen, and probably not related to the
people I know. If you look at the scanned churchfiles for the years after 1900,
found at the same internet-place, you can probably find if they had more
children. I hope this will help you.
Best wishes
