I hear our Halsrud clan is from
Nordre Halsrud, Nordreland
However, I cannot see this on any map. How does one track down this location?

Wow, thank you very much! This looks like the one. Agnethe is my direct relative.
So - the last name is "Ol"? Or Olson? I have been having a hard time finding the entry of the people to the US with the name Halsrud. I will now look for a "Ol" variant. Do you have any comments about naming conventions used?

I wish the 1875 census was more complete also - it seems to be missing this area (with a note saying at a later time). |

Hi,
A quick training in name-spelling.
Last name ending with an d. means it´s a female. D means datter or dottir, the English spelling ....dr. is correct and cover both, and in the Norwegian churc books the ......dr ending is common.
Mans name ends with an s. for sen/ sĝnn- Son
In this case: Agnete Olsdatter, deres Datter-their daughter, ug/ugift-unmarried, Alder 12-Age 12, k/kvinne-woman/girl, Fĝdested-Place of birth: Land.
I recommend as Jo Anne writes above.

Thanks I have found a bunch of information and emmigrant information.
However, now, what is the best way to find the birth of an Olaf Erikson born in 1872 (he took Halsrud name in the US). My first guess is to look in church registars for Oppland, Land, Ostinni parish, but I see no documents from that timeframe. Are there lots of records just missing? I tried looking at the censens from 1865 and found a bunch of Erik's, but this is too vague.
Any tips welcomed...
Joe. |

You has to wait, these records are not online yet but improves evrey month.
Records from Nordre land or Ĝstsinni cover Halsrud.
Source: boka om Land, the emigration between 1839-1915 where 3915 people left Nordre Land, not all are listed in this book. Are these some of your folks?
Hans Andreas Olsen b. 1851 on N. Halsrud, em. 1873 to W.Point and then to Emmet County, married to Syverine Dokkesveen from Norsinni.
Oluf Olsen Halsrud b. 1883 on Halsrud, em. 1903 to Bode, Iowa, Dep. port Oslo
Helga Mathilde Halsrud b. -89, Beate Jonsdr. Halsrud b.-85 and Ole Jonsen Halsrud B.-83, all tree em. 1901 to Iowa, ship United States, dep. port Oslo
Ole Olsen Halsrud b. 1892, em. 1911 to Iowa, ship Eskimo, dep port Oslo

The parish records are also available through LDS Family History Centers (if you don't want to wait for online access). They 'rent' out microfilms of these records from the collection in Salt Lake City. You can find your nearest Family History Center (FHC) at their website -- familysearch.org
I'm always surprised to see the number of Norwegian emigrants who settled in the area of tiny Bode. I've started to wonder if the clusters of Norwegians in Humboldt Co. Iowa tended to settle in areas with others also from their area of Norway. Little Thor in Norway township started with a fairly large marjority of settlers from one or two areas of Norway but became a rather 'mixed' Norwegian group. |

Is the Boka om Land in English at all?
Yes, those are the people.
I also found next generation on LDS site - I'll arrange to go look at the film of the documents there.
Thanks, Joe. |

TravelGenie in Ames, Iowa has very nice maps of Norway for sale. I've purchased from them by mail order and been very happy. I think all their Norway maps are also produced by J.W.Cappelens company.

No, Boka om Land is not in English, but it should have been because the main source was Peter Sĝrensen Vaslien/Peter S. Waslien 1857-1924 who settled down in Hillsboro, N.D.
Last page in the book is a photo about 3/4 of a yard wide taken in Hillboro 1928 showing a lot of the "Landingene" (thats what they called themself) who em. after 1880.
Peter Waslien was head of the collection for the Memoriel /Monument given to Land 1914

Do any of you know how to find out how or when the Halsrud farm came into existence?
In the earlier censuses, the farm name is not there.
Lastly, does the name mean anything?
Thanks, Joe. |

A look up in the "Bygdebok from Land" later this week on Digitalarkivet can give an answer to that.
Rud means to clear land and can goes back to about 1100, or more likely after 1751 when a decree allowed cotter´s to clear land.
Hals means neck (like a neck on a hill), but if it has another meaning I don´t know.
