The 1900-census for Vang, Oppland shows these people on the Grøv farm:
Ole Knutsen Grøv 1867
Margrete Bøiesdatter 1851
Jørunn Olsdatter 1890
Margrete Olsdatter 1895

Jackie. Thanks for that.
I could never find Ole and Liv in the 1900 CENSUS. They should be in South Dakota. Are they there under the name of Grove?
I do see Thrond and Caroline and her family but I can't find Thronds parents |

Hi Jan Peter....
There was a daughter of Ola and Liv Branvold named Ingeborg and she married Ola Dekka fra Grondale i Hemsedal. Did they have a son named Mikkel by any chance? Who emigrated and eventually ended up in Macoun SASK? |

No idea.
But Margit Mikkelsdatter's mother, Birgit Halvorsdatter, had a sister named Barbro Halvorsdatter. And this Barbro married one Mikkel Olsen from the Grøndalen farm in Hemsedal. So its likely that a child or grandchild of them maybe was named Mikkel...?

Interesting! I knew this Barbro Halvorsdattor would come into the picture at some point.
Can you find her family. I'll bet she has sons named Halvor and Mekkel.

One problem is that the 1865-census for Gol & Hemsedal is lost, so you have to use the local churchbooks and the Bygdebook for the area. I don't have access to the Hemsedal Bygdebook now...

Dear Jan Peter.
Take a look at the Godparents for Bergit, daughter of Liv Ole Trondson Slettene (which later became Branvold I believe).
Liv was the sister of Margit........please see #3 on the link below...
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=3066&idx_id=3066&uid=ny&idx_side=-44"]
Do I see Margit Mikkelsdatter and a Christian? Is this an "og" in between Margit and Christian or does it mean something else, like widow? Could this be the breakthrough we have been looking for?
But I don't see how. This is in 1873 and they had already emigrated......... Any thoughts?

marriage of Ole Dekko and Ingeborg Branvold
Ingeborg Branvold was the oldest child of six. Daughter of Ole and Liv Branvold. She stayed behind in Norway and married Ole Dekko in 1891. Ingeborg was born in December 6, 1866. Baptism January 1, 1867
Can anybody tell me if she stayed Norway or did they eventually emigrate as well.
I have looked in the 1900 census but no luck. I looked in emigratin records as well but no luck. |

Hi Erik,
If she left it was quite late in life as she is listed as living in Hemsedal or Hallingdal in the obits of each of her parents. I have records I can check to see if she may have left--I'll let you know.

Hi Erik,
In the Hemsedal bygdebok under Dekko Ingbjorg's dates are given as 1866-1957. Her three children are Jacob, Ola, Knut. Jacob died in 1919, Ola got the Dekko farm married Birgit Solheim and had 5 children, Knut married a woman from Baggetun in Vang Valdres. It does not appear from the biographies in the book that any from this family came to America.
The Lag has a very nice book given us by all the Kommunes of Hallingdal in 2000 which lists all the names of people leaving for America from each district as found in the church registers. Margit Mikkelsdatter Fauskoteigi is found on this list. No dates of departure are given but apparently it was known in the parish that she went to America.
Not much help for you today...
Hilsen,
Jackie M. |
