More comments about the geography of Hadeland: "Lake Mjosa" lies to the east of Hadeland, not to the west as it says in the text. Hadeland" does not "includes large, untouched woodlands." Its true that large areas are forests, but they are used for commercially purposes. It's not "untouched woodlands"

The geographypart of this website is not quite right. Hadeland does not actually reach as far north as the discription says. You should rewrite the last part about the scenic mountains. They are not part of Hadeland. (Although we can see the moutains from Hadeland.) Petter, Lunner-Hadeland

My daughter is working on a family history project for school. I need to find out more about my mother's maiden name, Lehne. Her father's name was Oscar Lehne. He farmed for many years by Appleton MN, U.S.A. He married Verna Grunholtz. Not sure of the spelling on Verna's last name.

What a find!! My g-g grandfather, Endre H. Molden came from Hadeland to Milan, MN in 1880. I believe his children, Gulbrand, Hans,Christian and Karen came with him. I am assuming that they came from the Molden farm in Hadeland, but would like to confirm that. His Norweigen name may have been Hanson. Many thanks for the web site

The northen light is just now shining over a clear starry night, - brings kinda eternity feeling, bounding me somewhat to those who left. What were for insance their last spoken word before leaving ? To whom did they say farewell. Thank you for letting me visit the guestbook, and don't hesetate in sending me an e-mail on the topic or any.! Gudbrand (40)(farmer)

I really enjoyed this website and found much handy information here in my research. I was a little disappointed in the history part only because it does not explain the way land was rented or inheritance laws and so on. I think that would be very helpful. Your link page is a real goldmine though and will no doubt find what I am looking for somewhere among those sites, along with much other census and other information. I think I am lucky to have turned up such a great place to start my work. Keep up the good work and this is just a suggestion and no criticism. This is one of the more interesting places I've found. Tusen Takk!

Great great grandson of Hans Pedersen Wigen Lauvbraaten and Mårthe Paalsdatter Skari Lauvbraaten who emigrated to the United States from the area northwest of Brandbu in Gran in 1849. Their eldest daughter, Kjersti, was my great grandmother. Her baptismal record from Gran in 1845 gives her parents' surname as Svinningesett.

BRAVO ! - Verlyn and all of you others.... VERY nicely & professionally built-up Web Site ! - with plenty of useful and accurate information about Hadeland, both in Norway and "in the U.S." Also a great number of useful links to be found here... however with a possible exception from that one to the "Gjøvik-Toten Slektshistorilag".... not a lot of Hadeland-stuf is to be found there, actually .... as the "Gjøvik-Toten" lag is just a division of the county-covering "Vestoppland Slektshistorielag", ("The Vestoppland Genealogical Association") which have all together four subdivisions, namely HADELAND, VALDRES, LAND & GJØVIK/TOTEN. So my suggestion is; replace that link to the Gjøvik/Toten branch with the one to the main "Vestoppland Slektshistorilag" home-page, which adress is: http://home.lakenet.no/vshl/ Otherwise, as allready stated, a really great piece of work has been carried out here, it all looks beautiful indeed ! Congratulations ! - dear friends.
