Hei!
I am searching for info about my old uncle, Olaf Kjorstadmoen, born in 1910-1911, Sør-Fron in Gudbrandsdalen. His fathers name was Ole A. Stendalen b.1888. He had 7 sisters and 1 brother: Marit, Karen, Inga,Kari, Olga, Anne, Martha and Erling. Martha b.1925 was my mother, she passed away in 1990.
They are all passed away, so all I know about Olaf is that he went to America when my mother was a child, maybe in the 30`s.
And I think he visit Marit in Sør-Fron some years ago. I remember my mother talked about Minneapolis, so I guess he is living or have living there, at least in Minnesota.
If anyone have info about Olaf, please send me an e-mail.
And happy Easter to all of You!
Regards, Annelise

It would help if you knew his exact date of birth. With that, you might be able to find him in the free Rootsweb.com social security database that lists people who died after 1961 and whose death had been notified to the SSA.
www.rootsweb.com
Also, finding him in the police protocols to know his exact date of departure with destination would provide information. He most likely did not go by Kjorstadmoen in U.S. Our Federal census are not available after 1930.

The Minnesota Historical Society has a free death index for the period 1904-2001:

| Things have changed since 2006. The 1940 US Federal census is available for free at many sites today. Here is one to try www.familysearch.org |

Minnesota Historical Society has his death record. Only a little information from the death record shows up in the online transcription below. You can order a copy of the death certificate to find out who was the informant. Usually the wife or a child of the deceased is an informant. Website: www.mnhs.org

Minneapolis is in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
The computer I"m on just now balks at opening the familysearch records. Maybe this is the record jkmarler posted:
