I am hoping to find out any information on the Aaserud family which I am told were probably from this area. They emigrated to the United States in 1907and then to Craigmyle Alberta Canada in 1908 . These are my husband's grandparents. His name was Ole and her's was Lena. I do not know her maiden name but am sure she was from the same general area. They married in 1905. The spelling of their name has probably been changed from Aasero to Aaserud.

You have already inquired about these two people in two prior postings and have been generously helped by people on this site.

If you have additional information on the same subject, continue in the original posting, double posting just causes confusion and unnecessary research.

I use this posting on Åserød as a topic. Previous threads:
ancestors
Wasdal Aaserød

Jelsa is today a part of Suldal kommune

I guess Kaare N has found the right Ole A Aaserød in 1900 and 1907, and that he was a son of Andreas Olsen Aaserøddalen, b. 1849

His complete name would be Ole Johan Andreassen Åserøddalen, b. 1878. His mother was Brita Knudsdatter Aradalen, b. 1846: Jelsa bygdebok

My guess about Lena is this one: Lena Kittelsdatter, b. 1883, in 1900 census
She is a servant maid and a "cowgirl"

Probably her parents on Vikeneset in Erfjord, northern part of Jelsa: Vikeneset 1900

On maps of today the farm is spelled Åsarødna. You may have a problem with the Norwegian letters in online maps. I will try to make a link:

Thanks so much for this information. We are learning so much more than we ever knew about our Norweigan ancestors. I am finding it fascinating.
