Certificate? No, but -- Did you order the microfilms of those parish records for this area? Have you started working in that information??

But this thread is SO LONG and disjointed that I couldn't see that you seem to indicate that she was still alive in 1969?? -- so no, forget the parish records for that particular bit of information! I've had to edit my response here.

Hello again!

This past spring I found some relatives my great grandmothers side that this thread is all based on. They are from Norway and sent me a family tree. I want to figure out what happened to one of them. Her name is Ingeborg Melaas born 1843, all the info on her they had for me was that she went to America and married a neighbor from Norway, his surname was Kraggerud. Another sister to Ingeborg was Kari Melaas and she came to America as well and married Lars Flyom I know they lived in Brandon, MN but don't know what really happened to them. Ingeborg and Kari are both sisters to Karen Melaas Ensrud. Any help would be great!

I'm sorry to say that none of the above information could be correct because Ingeborg didn't marry Lars Flyom, her sister Kari did and there is no Kari for any of the names. Thanks for your help anyways! Kari was born in 1840 and Ingeborg was born in 1843.

That's okay, I just read that wrong.

Here's the 1885 Minnesota Census for Brandon, Douglas County, Minnesota.
They are listed as Flynn, so let me know if these are the right people.

Flynn, Lars, 52 years, born Norway
Flynn, Kari, 45 years, born Norway

1910 US Census - Brandon, Douglas County, Minnesota
Now I see why I got the wrong Lars the first time. They have his last name listed wrong in the index for each year on Ancestry, plus they also have Kari's age wrong on this census.

Flyum, Lars E., Head, 76 years, married 35 years, no children, born Norway, immigrated in 1871, naturalized, farmer on a general farm
Flyum, Kari, wife, 70 years, married 35 years, no children, born Norway, immigrated in 1865

I found where Lars and Kari are buried! They are buried in the Brandon Cemetery. Lars lived from 1834-1918 and Karie lived from 1840-1922. I would still like to try and figure out what happened to Kari's sister Ingeborg after she came to America. All I know is that she married someone with the surname Kraggerud from the same part of Norway she came from. Are there any Kraggerud farms near the Melaas farm in Norway?

Is there just one Kraggerud farm? Is it possible to find out if any of the family members from this farm left for America and when? For that matter is it possible to find out when Ingeborg would have left for America? Her parents were Ole Hansen Melaas 1801-1865, and her mother was Marte Olsdatter Hval 1811-1855. Ingeborg was born in 1843.

Ingeborg Olsdr age 24, her father widower Ole Hansen Melaas and 4 siblings on Melaas in 1865

Any emigration from Melaas was likely later than 1865.

Three members from Kragerud (Kraggerud-Krĉggeru) emigrated 1875 via Oslo: Widow Kari Amundsdr and her daughters Mari and Ingeborg. Dest. Cresco Iowa.
They knew where to go, the tickets were paid for on ship Hero

There were 3 farms named Kragerud and 4 containing Kragerud, as Kragerud Mĝllerstuen(Millers cabin ), Kragerud Ĝdegċrden (desert farm), Kragerudbrenna and Kragerudhagen in Jevnaker 1865.

The origin of Kragge is a low crooked tree and Rud means Rydning, to clear the land.
If the land was cleared by fire the farm was named Brenna as Kraggerudbrennna (brenne means to burn)

Going back to the Kraggerud question. I found an Amund L. Kragerud who emigrated from Jevnaker Parish, Hadeland in 1867. I would appreciate help finding hi emigration record. His son Lars Kragerud possibly wa the Kraggerud my g-g-grandmother's sister Ingeborg married.
