Hi Erik,

The question about Kroken / Krokji is partly answered in the Hemsedalslekt book as it is a "nedlagt bruk under Vøllo." The most recent family on or residents of Kroken are from the late 1700s. I think nedlagt means vacated or vacant.

Yes. "nedlagt bruk under Vøllo" means "disused small holding under the Vøllo farm".
The yellow ring above should be bull's eye then...

Hi Jan Peter and Jackie.

Are you guys getting tired of this thread? Right now I am feeling exhausted. I find one bit of information and it leads me to other avenues and I find myself wanted to learn more and more!

I was wondering if you could tell me if any of Mekkel Olsen Fauske's brother's or sisters immigrated or had children that immigrated to America?

Is there any mention of these families in the Hemsedal Bydgebok?

1. Birgit Fauske b. 1794 married to Steingrim Liego 1827
2. Anne Fauske b. 1800-1875 married Knut P. Vollo
3. kari Fauske b. 1803 married Ole Knutsen Vollo in 1828
4. Torstein Fauske b. 1806 died 1875
5. Halvor Fauske b. 1808 married to Anne Kristendatter Vente.

This information was taken form the Ancestors of My Father paper that was compiled by a distant relation of mine....the same paper you referenced above.

thank you

A distant relative:

Carpenter Mikkel Halvorsen Grøndalen (28) from Hemsedal left Oslo on April 15th, 1904, headed for Canada. In 1916, he was home in Norway for visit. On the returntrip, he was headed for Macoun, Saskatchewan, Canada.
This Mikkel is most likely a son of Halvor Mikkelsen b 1846 & Sigrid Olsdr b 1848, Grøndalen søndre, Hemsedal, Buskerud.

Halvor Mikkelsen Grøndalen was a first cousin to Margaret Mikkelsdatter. (Halvor is the son of Mikkel Olsen & Barbro Halvorsdr at Grøndalen, Hemsedal, Buskerud).

Barbro Halvorsdr is the sister of Birgit Halvorsdr (1801-1868), who married Mikkel Olsen Fauske (1797-1872).

Anne Fausko 1800 m Knut Person Vøllo 5 children none went to America

Torstein 1806-1875 m Kari Eiricksdatter Dølehuso 12 children
of these 3 went to America Eirick 1840 m Marte Hustadbergji; Liv 1848 m Ola Olson Trøym "Ottar Ola"; Anne 1852 m in America Helge Arneson Berg.

Kari and Ole had one son not reported if he went to America.

Dear Jan Peter and Jackie.....

The Anne mentionned above was known as Anne Tostensen Woldo. This is the name mentionned in her husbands obituary.
Can you see when she came over? And also when her siblings Liv and Eirick came over?

HI Jan Peter. Based upon alot of the information you and Jackie and others have been feeding me I have been finding that the Berg family was somewhat close to the Fauske family, especially Margit and Kari.

Kari, of course, married a Berg and the Bergs were also sponsors at Margit's first son's baptism (Thor Asklaksen a.k.a. Theodore Thompson)

Record of Thor's birth #41 (1856 in Hemsedal)

I was reviewing information on Theodore again last night and I had a question:

His confirmation recorded in June of 1871 can only be found in the Gol Parish records, not the GOL/Hemsedal Parish records.

Is there any significance to this and does this mean that Thor (Theodore) might have been living in GOL rather than Hemsedal....at the time of his confirmation?

Hi Erik,

The ones mentioned in the Hemsedals slekthistorie page 367 are:

Eivind Helgeson b. 1816 together with his wife
Eivind's twin Kari Helgesdatter together with her husband Erik Bakke
Ola Helgeson and his wife Kari Mekkelsdatter

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jackie.. Do you know when Eivind and his wife and Kari and her husband Erik Bakke might have emigrated to America? I am trying to find out who Ole Helgesen and his wife Kari might have known here in America before they came over.....?
