| Looking for any information from Norway or US on ggg grandfather family. The only information I have is that the father of Ole Nicholai Olsen, born November 7, 1856, was Christian, mother Ergena. They came to U.S. in 1871 with four children, two girls, two boys. Ole later changed his surname to Quam in 1910. The family settled in Manitowoc, Wi and later in Sturgeon Bay, WI. Thanks so much for taking the time to help-much appreciated. |

Stavanger is in Rogaland, Fjellburg is in Hordaland and Ergersund is in Rogaland.
The microfilm church records can be rented at a Local Family History Center under the names of Fjeld and Eigersund.

Ergine Andreasdatter Dybsjord: birth 1825 Egersund
Parents: marriage 1816 Egersund
Children:
ANE CHATRINE Christening: 26 OCT 1817 Egersund, Rogaland,
TØNNES BERTHINIUS Christening: 21 APR 1820 Egersund, Rogaland,
BERTHE MARIA Christening: 28 OCT 1822 Egersund, Rogaland,
ERGINE Christening: 18 FEB 1825 Egersund, Rogaland,
Ergine is a very rare name. She is probably named after her father's father Erik
Berte Tønnesdatter was probably from Egersund. The name is typical of that area. Andreas Eriksen Dybsjord should be from a Dybsjord farm. Perhaps he was from Ål in Hallingdal, Buskerud county. Perhaps he was a brother of Ole Eriksen Dybsjord
Perhaps this is Christen Olsen Qvame: born 1820 Fjeldberg
Ole Nilsen (14) on Kvamme (Qvame) farm in : 1801 census
Christen Olsen and Ole Nilsen are common names, so these may not be the right ones. |
