1) I am working on the stained glass question, but the person who might know something about it is on vacation, he will be back on Monday.
2) The additional info is also from Andreas, I will pass it on to you.
3) In regards of the names in the info I passed on to you, only consider the farm names as a clue to where they lived. It appears that the people who did the research added the farm names only to identify where those persons were living. In the case where two different farm names are given, such as Haugen and Hjelmen, it indicates that people at some time moved from one place to another. Haugen and Hjelmen are two different crofts. I passed on the info as I received it, so I can't really say much more about that. In some cases people who were servants or day-workers moved quite often and would be best recognized just by the patronymic. |

| Thanks so much Børge! (I still can't make my keyboard work to make the correct spelling, BUT ... I finally realized I could simply cut and paste the correct character!!) Your information about the farm names is very helpful, and may give an important clue to researching Oline's grandparents when I get that far. Thrilled to hear that you may still have a source of information on the stained glass question! |

Borge & Carra,
I would love to get copies of the picvtures of the Johnson house in Rissa. Karen Martha is my great-grandmother. She married Ole Krognes after they emigrated to Minnesota. Ole was also from Rissa. I've got information on the Krognes line back to the 1700's if you're interested.
Carra---I've got a picture of the Johnson family, ca 1890 or so, which includes your grandfather Martin. I'd be glad to e-mail you a copy.
Borge---Any information you might have on the Krognes farm would be greatly appreciated. And thanks for all you great work on this site.

Hi mkragness
I can certainly send you some pictures, I have several. Do you want the "big" files or "small" files. Do you want a pictures of Peder Olsen Hjelmen Haugen's (b. 1782, d. June 11 - 1843) old house also?

Sorry I goofed! There are ways to get those characters in your type, for example: to type æ you press alt and the numbers 0230; Ø is alt 0216; ø is alt 0248 There is an awesome website that helps see it at http://home.online.no/%7Eotjoerge/files/word.htm The gives definitions of norwegian words and lots of other stuff, It has really helped me!

| WOW ... what a thrill to see your note on here tonight, Børge!! I think that Marcus is traveling on business just now, and may not see this for a couple days. I would love to touch base with these new-found relatives immediately and I know that the rest of the family will too! How should we go about that? I will be glad to send my address if it would be inappropriate for you to give me theirs, or we will be glad to do whatever you suggest ... what an amazing thing this is ... you are a wonder!! Can' wait to hear from you and to take the next step! |

When I did not have any success with finding descendants of the Nøstbrettingen siblings I went one generation further back and made some research on Oline Pedersdatter Haugen's siblings. I have found her younger brother Johan Petter Pedersen Halvei's family very interesting, as he had the same name as the late husband of my mother's aunt. It turned out to be his grandfather. I have pictures of Johan Petter and his wife Ingeborg Anna, and some of their descendants. I also looks as if you might have some more family living in the USA.
If you have solved the problems with your e-mail account I can send you some info by e-mail. |

I am not aware that I have a problem with my email account? Have you tried to send something and not been able to? If you have experienced a problem of some sort, please let me know exactly what and I'll report it right away. I haven't had anyone else report a problem so have no idea what it could be.
If by chance you are referring to whether pictures arrive inside an email or as an attachment, that is controlled by the software on your end, and all of the pictures you have sent recently as attachments have come through just fine. Let me know, I'll do anything necessary as we are eagerly looking forward to your excellent findings!! |

Hei Børge,
Got the great info on Johan Petter's family, and thanks so much!! Is this the info that Andreas referred to having? Or is this different information?
"*Johan Petter Pedersen Halvei b. Feb. 13 - 1836, d. Nov. 3 - 1914 m. Sept. 8 - 1861 to Ingeborg Anna Skogen Halvei b. Feb. 6 - 1845, d. May 18 - 1920 (I have more info on the descendants of Johan Petter and Inger Anna)
*Ane Pedersdatter Hjelmen Haugen b. Apr. 8 - 1820, d. Mar. 28 - 1908 m. June 18 - 1844 to Kristoffer Pedersen Storaunet (I have more info on the descendants of Ane and Kristoffer)"
I have spent the past couple hours trying to pursue John & Karoline, Arne and Ida after they arrived in the US with no luck yet, will start again tomorrow from a different angle. Arne and Ida would be my father's first cousins, and John would be Oline's nephew. I am wondering if she knew that he emigrated with his family to Minnesota just a couple years before she died.
I have never heard anyone in my family speak of any relatives named "Mule". There was a relative of my grandfather's named John who stayed with us a couple times in his older years, but I don't know now if that may have been his brother John, or if it could have been this John, who would have been his first cousin.
Anyway, it's a great find of information and I'll be posting it on the family website tomorrow for everyone! Thanks again for your great kindness!

Mule b. 1906 and daugther Ida A. Ivers. Mule b. 1909.
We do not know if they used the Mule or the Iversen name after they came to America. |

| I did a search at ancestry and got a hit on Arne Iverson b. 1906, but I am not a subscriber so I could not follow the link. |

| Can you tell me what other data you entered to find Arne Iverson? The only Arne Iverson b. 1906 I was able to find the other night was from Denmark, a lodger, listed together with an Oswald Iverson b. 1900, also from Denmark. I exhausted every possible angle I could think of on Ancestry.com without finding anything for any of the 4 members of that family. I am now pursuing from other angles. I did find 5 Karoline Johnson in the Minnesota death index ... but no Karoline Iverson. We're certain that the Johnson marriage for her was not the correct one? Found 5 Caroline Iverson in death index, but no clues as to whether any of them might be the right one yet ... am going to keep searching! There may be something in the new info you sent me today that will help, I haven't had a chance to integrate it yet ... Thanks for looking!! |
