I do not intend to discuss the English language and the right wording, just point at my lack of a wider understanding found in the Webster dictionary. My understanding is based on "indicate" in the following meaning of the word:
when referring to facts: peke på, vitne om, tyde på, vise til, antyde or avsløre.
Sorry for not being more professional.
- and a Merry X-mas to you too, Jackie!

Hi eibache,

No harm, no foul!

I'm still interested in the names and vitals on the kids in Asgrim and Helga's family....

Greetings! I have not checked this forum for a while and have much to report. In December 2009 I found the graves of Asgrim and Helga Berg Ruud and their son, Paul. They are buried at Middle Grove Church Cemetery in Meckinock, North Dakota. I also was able to visit inside the church where they were members until they died. I took photos of the graves as well as the inside of the church.

Hi,

When you were at Middle Grove church did you, mayhaps, look at the church register? I am curious about the daughter Laura. There appears to be some discrepancy about her birth information. In the 1920 census of Wallace, Shoshone County, Idaho her age is listed as 29, birthplace as Norway and the year of her migration to America is given as 1893 and that she was naturalized in 1898. In this census she is living with her husband Joseph Martin b. abt 1887 in Canada and their son Joseph Martin Jr. age 3 yrs, 4 months b. Idaho. In the 1930 census she is listed a proprietor of a beauty shop, born in US with a different birth year, living with Joe Martin but no Joe, jr..

From 20 June 1934 (when she was elected to the post) to about 1950 she held a position in the Hallinglag of America as "distrikt formaend" for Idaho.

What I am curious about is if she was born in U.S. or if she was born in Norway. Since the mother Helga and at least some of the children migrated to US in the mid-1880s, Asgrim the father came later.

Within the family, have you heard of this sister?

Hilsen,
Jackie M.

Hi,

From the Grand Forks HeraldThursday, 12 May 1927, page 7, col 1:

"H. Ruud, Long Resident of Grand Forks Died Tuesday
.... Herge Ruud, 86, who has
...in Grand Forks county since
...when she first arrived in this
...ry from Norway, died at the
...of her daughter, Mrs. Nels
...on Lincoln street, late Tuesday
...

... . Ruud settled at Middle
... northwest of Grand Forks,
...85, and lived there until about
...years ago when she moved in-
...s city.

...ee sons, Ole of Michigan, Eric
...Fred of Grand Forks, survive
...along with three daughters,
...Nels Dahl of Grand Forks, Mrs.
...Swanson who lives in Michi-
...Mrs. Joe Martin of San Fran-
...Cal.; a brother Severt Burg,
...onia, Minn.; and another
...er and sister who reside in
...ay."

The microfilming was apparently done from a very tightly bound copy.
The service announcement in the Friday, 13 May 1927 issue, page 10, fared a bit better:

"Mrs. H. Ruud To Be Buried on Monday

The funeral of Mrs. H. Ruud, who died last Tuesday, will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. at the Hanson-Anderson chapel, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon from the Middle Grove church.

Rev. O.T. Ness will be in charge of the first service and Rev. O.A. Aase will conduct the church services."

Hilsen,
Jackie M.

Hello!

(Sorry about my poor english... I am norwegian and living in Norway)

I saw in an old thread that you were looking for relatives of Edvard Olsen from Mobekk at Holter Farm in Nes, Akershus.

This is a little bit complicated, but I have a great-great-great-grandfather named Edvard Olsen from Mobekk at Holter Farm. I am not 100% sure that it is the same Edvard, since my great-great-great-grandmother Lina/Karoline had two children (Emma and Petra) with Edvard without ever getting married. (I suspect that Edvard was a married man). Lina never married...

I tried to send a PM, Vik, but I was not allowed to send PM's since I haven't made enough posts .

Hello Nygard! I just saw your post about your great-great-great-grandmother Lina/karoline. I've been hearing that it was commonplace for children to be born out of wedlock. My great-great grandfather, Edward (Edvart) Mobeck was born April 4, 1834 in Nes Romerike, Akershus, Norway and died July 1, 1920 in Hatton, North Dakota, US. He married Bertha Maria Kvernhaugen November 12, 1857 in Nes, Romerike, Akershus. In 1869 he and his family (4 daughters) came to the United States, where 3 more children were born, one of whom was my great-grandmother, Maria Mobeck. Edward and Bertha's oldest child was Anne Mobeck, born August 9. 1858. Edward's father was Ole Olsen. I would be happy to send a photo of Edward to you. He did have a sister named Karoline who also left Norway and moved to the state of Utah. It would be so interesting if we had a common ancestor!
