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.
Dear Jackie. Is Margit Mikkelsdatter Fauskoteigen's son found on this list? The name would be Oluf? and/or Thor.
thank you.

Dear Jan Peter.
I am thinking that the Margit Mikkelsdatter that is listed as a witness to the birth of Birgit Branvold is the Margit Mikkelsdatter on the Grondolen Farm.......
But who is the Christian....?? after her name. It looks like Christian to me...

Dear Jackie. You are a HUGE help today. Can you tell me which district and church register Margit Mikkelsdatter Fauskoteigen was found in?
thank you.
This could be the big breakthrough we have been looking for...

Hi Erik,
Yes Tor Aslakson Fausko b. 1856 is on the list from Hemsedal. There are lots of Olas from Hemsedal but only 2 Olavs one born 1889 and the other born in 1896 obviously too late to be your man.
I've got to go--the sirens have just gone off and I don't think its a drill...

Hi Erik,
Looks like the storm has calmed again--really weird weather we've been having...
O yes Margit is listed in the Hemsedal list, in the book I mentioned. I haven't looked her up in the registers themselves, however...
Refresh me: your purpose is to find where in Norway Oluf was born and it appears he was born about 1871 and came to America about 1872???
Have you looked for a confirmation record over here? Sometimes-not always-pastors would record where confirmands were baptized. Do you know which church the family attended?

Hi Jackie. I'm glad you are o.k. My parents are in Park Rapids and I called them and they were headed towards the basement also.
Margit and Olaf attended St. Petri church in Brandon. I have a relative looking into Olaf's confirmation record but I have not heard anything.
REgarding their emigration. Jan Peter found Thor's emigration record from the Parish but NOT Margit and Thor's/ He was supposing that maybe they were not living in the area at the time. However, Margit and Olaf did meet Thor and the three of them sailed together.

Hi Jackie.
St. Petri Church was a dead end. My relative is looking at West Moe Lutheran Church which was nearby.
By the way, Margit's name is listed as an emigrant in the Hemsedal Book that was given to your Lag, but you should know that we have not been able to find her OR Oluf in any Parish register!
We find her other son, Thor, but not his mother or "half" brother.
Best Regards,
Erik. |

Hi Erik,
If you are uncertain about the thoroughness of the research for the confirmation of your Oluf in the various church registers, you might want to do the search yourself. I'm not trying to "down" the efforts of others, far from it, but if the actual registers are not made available and are searched on your behalf by a harried pastor or secretary, the search might not include the subleties of variations in the name spelling etc. The ELCA archives have all the American Lutheran church registers (which through various historical consolidations include all the old Norwegian Lutheran churches) completed in the 1970s and will send out on loan to you. Fee for one month is about $15 and you must also pay for return postage. E write their achivist for information:

Hi Jackie. Thanks for the Tip! The ELCA Archivist was able to reproduce the page that shows a OLUF CHRISTOFFERSEN being confirmed in 1884....at the age of 14. The Oluf I am researching was born in 1870 so it fits. Also, the family information lists Oluf's father as Christoffer Solberg, so Christoffersen also fits.
Thank you again for the information.
By any chance, does the Hallinglag of America Magazine HALLINGEN have an obituary for Oluf's mother Margit, date of death January 17, 1901? or perhaps Oluf himself, who died in August 3 1942?
Thank you |

Hi Erik,
Good to hear about the confirmation but no birthplace included--bummer on that!
Sorry, but a death in 1901 predates the earliest Hallinglag publication by seven years. Local newspapers might contain such an obit and some of the Norwegian language newspapers also --such as Skandinaven which has dates of 1866-1910 which have been microfilmed &were available for loan through your local public library inter library loan by requesting from the Illinois State system.
Also I checked the index to Hallingen 1908-1979 and found no Burros ( of any spelling), no Theodore Thompson, nor Aslakson, one obit from 1952 for "Mrs. Christian Solberg" of Minot North Dakota. However, an Olaf Buraas of Evansville, Minnesota gave $1.30 to the people's gift to Hemsedal (A centennial of the Norwegian constitution project of the Hallinglag, funds collected from about 1909-1914 for donating to each of the home kommunes and also raising memorial stones carved with the names of soldiers who served from each kommune in the years 1807-1814). Again the local papers should be consulted for an obit for Oluf as well as some of the Norwegian language papers and the Rowberg file. Sometimes the Norwegian language paper's obits contain more information about the origins of one's "Norwegianess".
Hilsen,
Jackie M. |

Hi Erik,
I believe Margit #21 says "self employed {person's] child".
The name is not Thomas Solberg but Tomas Sorteberg (sometimes carried as Svarteberg)which is a farm name from Aal, Hallingdal.
