Sjur Falentinsen, born 1819 is #2
His 8 siblings are recorded well and his parents Falentin Sjursen and Anne Elisabet Hansdatter are recorded on page 244.
This shows that Sjurs grandparents were Sjur Hansen, Vikre and Abelone Falentinsdatter and Hans Larsen, Hage and Anne Elisabet Hansdatter.
Regarding "Dalene Langoyer = Elisabet Malene Andersdtr Langåker" see Lisbeth Malene the daughter of Anders Iversen in his (second) marriage with Gunvor Osmundsdatter.
Lisbeths grandparents were Iver Hansen, Langager and Lisbeth Andersdatter and Osmund Sørstokke i Augvaldsnæs and Marte Olsdatter.

ORVILLE J. HOVELAND
KANAWHA - Orville J. Hoveland, 77, of Kanawha, passed away Monday (Aug. 27, 2001) at the Kanawha Community Home following a lengthy illness of respiratory problems and finally cancer.
Funeral services for Orville Hoveland will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday at the United Methodist Church in Kanawha with Pastor Susan Detwiler officiating. Burial will take place in Amsterdam Township Cemetery in Kanawha.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. today at the Ewing Dugger Funeral Home in Kanawha and one hour prior to services at the church.
Orville, the son of George and Sadie Ellingston Hoveland, was born Dec. 17, 1923, in rural Kanawha, the youngest of four boys.
Orville was united in marriage with Helen Jensen on Jan. 14, 1945, in Renwick. The couple lived most of their marriage in the Kanawha area where Orville was engaged in farming. Orville and Helen retired from farming in 1986, and built their home in Kanawha.
Besides farming, Orville enjoyed working with wood and prior to his illness did some carpentry in Kanawha. He loved his workshop and spent many hours making crafts and furniture for family and friends.
Orville loved his family and always did what he could to make them happy. The last few years were difficult, much of his time was spent confined to his home, but he still kept his sense of humor.
Orville was a member of the Kanawha United Methodist Church where at one time he served as a trustee. He also served on the board of the Kanawha Community Home.
We are sorry to part with him, but his quality of life was such that we are glad he is resting in peace at last.
Orville is survived by his wife Helen; three sons and one daughter, Robert and his wife, Linda, of Miller, Gary and his wife, Jean, of Kanawha, Dwight and his wife, Jacque, of Kanawha, and Jeannie Cornelius and her husband, Steve, of Topeka, Kan.; eight grandchildren, Angie Knowles and her husband, Doug, of Gilman, Rodney Hoveland and his wife, Jennifer, of Marshalltown, Nikkie Hoveland, of Baltimore, Md., Jim Hoveland and his wife, Michelle, of Kanawha, Jacob Hoveland, of Kanawha, Jennifer Cornelius, of Lawrence, Kan., Tracy Cornelius, of Topeka, Kan. and Brian Cornelius, of Topeka, Kan.; seven step-grandchildren, Justin Terwilliger, of Hastings, Minn., Tiffany, Ashley, and Kirsten Kitley, of Kanawha, Jessica Amant, of Dwight, Ill., Alicia and Dakota Daniels, of Kanawha; seven great-grandchildren, Mitchell, Jacob and Jordan Knowles, of Gilman, Ethan, Mason and Katilyn Hoveland, of Marshalltown, and Mya Hoveland, of Kanawha; and two step-great grandchildren, Nate and Justin Knowles, of Iowa City.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Sadie Hoveland; and three brothers, Marson, Marion and Russell.

Possibility for "James Jacob Hoveland":
a Hoveland farm is in Herad, Vest-Agder. Here we find Oluf Johan born in 1868, #6
his parents were Ole Jacobi Abrahamsen and Ingvardine Olsdatter.

Did you notice Ole Jacobi was a godparent at the top of the page, for Harald Andreas.
Anne Marie Abrahamsdr must be his sister.

| I did not, but it seems reasonable. Question is would Oluf Johan hav dropped his name Oluf (Ole) - too many Oles - used James as an english version for Johan, used his father name Jakob and the farm name from where he came???? |

I wonder if "James Jacob Hoveland" could be from Borgund in Lærdal, Sogn & Fjordane?
Possibly his parents:
Johannes Jakobsen Hovland b. 28-Nov-1834 & Marita Iversdatter Berge b. 23-Feb-1841.
Marriage: 21-Apr-1864, Borgund, Sogn Og Fjordane
His parents: Jacob Svendsen Hovland & Tora Olsdr
Her parents: Iver Olssen Berge & Marita Eriksdr
They have a daughter Tora Johannesdr, born on the Hovland farm in Lærdal on 31-Jan-1865.
And they have a son Jacob, born 01-Apr-1870 on the farm Tønjum in Lærdal.
This Jacob Johannesen Tønjum (22) emigrated from Lærdal on 25-Mar-1892.
Thora Johannesen Tønjum (25) emigrated on 22-Feb-1893
Johannes Johannessen Tønjum (24) emigrated on 17-Mar-1900
Could this Jacob Johannesen Tønjum be "James Jacob Hoveland"?

Seth,
If you could get a copy James' Naturalization records, it may give the information we need to find his birth place.

| Also, sorry for asking such newbie questions here, but to try and have things make sense with what I am used to for naming, would the farm name be considered what we have as a surname now? Or would the "Paulsen" type names be surnames? |

Farm names can be used as family names, but that is more resent, earlier the use of "family" names were not the practice, fathers first name and the adding of "sen" (son or søn) for boys and "datter" fir girls was the normal.
I am afraid that none of the proposals so far satisfy the early info from Jan Peter, it was
James & Martha's marriage record from Nevada, Story, Iowa on 07 MAR 1891, reveal this:
James Jacob Hoveland
Father: Paulson Hoveland
Mother: Mary Josephine
These names do not follow the norwegian practice so we have to be creative. |

Seth,
Try this web site for Wright Country. Scroll down to Court Records.
http://www.iowagenealogy.org/CountyResearchGuide/WrightCoGuide.htm
I like to think of the Norway Farm naming system, as a means to identify where a person lived, rather than a Town name.
Whenever a person moved to a new farm, his address changed to the Farm Name.

But how accurate can we assume those records are? From what I have seen on here it seems as though the data entry of the time was at the discretion of the person entering it or the person giving it...is that about right? Still new, after all  |

| So how does it work with the aforementioned "Osmund Sørstokke i Augvaldsnæs "? Is that just a common practice that the family didn't follow? |
