Thank you Jan Peter!
That route looks much easier than over the mountains. I now realize that Boyum sits @ the mouth on a branch on the Sogn Fjord. From the photos of Boyum you couldn't tell. Lots of mountains.
For all of you that can use the information here is my family connection to the Boyum farm;
Rasmus Anfindsen Boyum. Son of Anfind Olsen Boim and Brithe Olsdatter Boyum. Born and baptized December 23, 1814. Emigrated to Hamden township, Columbia county Wisconsin. Farmer. Died October 25,1899. Married, June 18 1848 to Kristi Larsdatter Eggum, daughter of Lars Amundsen Eggum and Anna Pedersdatter. She was baptized November 6, 1813, and died January 6, 1893. she had been married before to Hermund Endresen Huke, with whom she emigrtated in 1844 and with whom she is described further.
Rasmus and Kristi had ???? children.
1. Anna 1850 (Anna Rasmusdatter Boyum)
2. Brithe 1850-1860
3. Thor - Nov. 28 1852-1880
4. Britha - Oct. 17, 1854- ?
Anna married Lewis L. Lewison (formerly Lars Larson Hengesteg from Norway) in Dane county Wisconsin.
And that is how I'm tied to the Boyum farm/family name. Funny I never noticed the names Eggum or Huke(farm names?) untill now.
I hope that some one can use this information as I don't want this to be one sided, and you all have given so much. The least I can do is put the information out there. Maybe it will help someone.
Thanks again! |
