| I know there must be tons of Norwegians there, but I'm looking specifically for the family of Ole Haraldson (sen?) and Bergit- although I have some confusion over her last name. My great-grandfather, Laurence, would have been born in Milton, and married Sarah Anderson. I have conflicting information, and very little of it at that, so I'm searching for more. Thanks! |

The 1920 US census shows an Ole Haraldson in Walsh County, North Dakota. He is 63 yrs old, married to a 'Bergitte'? (also 63 yrs old) and is listed as emigrated about 1888.
The 1910 US census lists him as Ole Haroldson (a not unexpected spelling variation) in Walsh County, ND. He is 54 yrs old, married to 'Bergit', and has two sons living at home 'Lornce'? and Teodore. This census also lists that he emigrated from Norway in 1888. Lornce is listed as having been born in Norway 24 yrs earlier.
The 1900 US census lists him as Ole Haraldson in Walsh County, ND. He lists that he was born 1856 in Norway and emigrated in 1888. All three children are living at home and the son 'Lorns Harald' was born July 1885 in Norway.
The US federal censuses and the state/territorial censuses done in North Dakota will provide you with a great deal of information.

| The LDS set of microfiche (#6350054 - showing emigrants from Telemark) indicates that Ole Haraldsen (32 yrs old), wife Birgit (34 yrs old), daughter Gunhild (4 1/2 yrs old) and son Lorants (2 1/2 yrs old) left for 'Park River' on 29 Mar 1888. They are listed as coming from Kragerø, Telemark, Norway and sailing on the 'Hekla' |

| Thank you so much for your help! I'm just starting to go through some of the LDS websites, and found reports of what appears to be the correct family in Norway, but there was a big gap between Norway and N. Dakota. Thanks again! |

Angela, I'm finding this website 10 years too late. The chance you
'll see this reply is likely impossible.
Should you find your way here again, I certainly hope you contact me. I am a descendant, as you are, of Ole and Bergit. My great grandfather was Theodore, your great grandfathers younger brother. Theodore managed the family farm, followed by my grandfather Garvie. Understandably, we have much information of Theodore descendants. Would be wonderful to learn where families of Lawrence and Gunhild now find themselves. Hope to hear from you.

#45 Loronts Harald, born 11 JUL 1885
Parents: Gaardsbestyrer (farm manager) Ole Haraldsen & Bergitte Larsen. Residence: Frydenborg.
Source: Telemark county, Skåtøy in Skåtøy, Parish register (official) nr. I 2 (1884-1899), Birth and baptism records 1885, page 16.
A geni webpage shows that Lawrence Harald died 25 AUG 1941, and that his father was named "Ole Rodmyre Haraldson", so this could be his father Ole in census-1865.
Lawrence Harald's children: Donald Lee Haraldson; Hartney Lee Haraldson; Loren Samuel Haraldson and Stanley Ray Haraldson.
Lawrence Harald's siblings: Gunhild Nordlie and Theodore Haraldson.
Sara Amanda Anderson
Born: 09 SEP 1893, Edinburg, North Dakota
Dead: 19 JUN 1976
Parents: Hans A Anderson & Johanna Maria Anderson
And this marriage record probably confirm that it was the correct 1865-census from Raumyhr farm in Seljord above:
#37 Ole Haraldsen & Birgit Larsdatter
Marriage: 12 Nov 1882, Skien, Telemark
He: From Siljord, Telemark. Born 1856. His father: Harald Ketelsen
She: From Saude, Telemark. Born 1855. Her father: Lars Svennungsen.
Source: Telemark county, Skien, Parish register (official) nr. 9 (1878-1890), Marriage records 1882, page 235. |
