Hi,
Sorry to be in this so late but is anyone still interested in Ole Tronson Brandvold?
His obituary was published in the Hallinglag of America's magazineHallingen in December 1922, page1399-1400. His birthdate is given as 20 June 1837. His funeral was conducted on the 17th [month not given ]His age at death is given as 85 years, 3 months, 34 days. It says he came to America from Vang, Valders where he lived until from 1876 (which might explain why he was not found in the US census)until 1900, when he came to Douglas county, Minnesota, then to South Dakota. In 1904 he moved to Macoun, Saskatchewan, Canada. Survivors mentioned are the widow, Mrs. CJ Hemsedal, Hallingdal, Mrs. Johnson in St. Paul, Minnesota; Trond Brandvold, Ole Brandvold, Mrs. Peter Brandvold all of Macoun.
The Mrs' obituary was published in Hallingen in March 1926, page 64. Her deathdate is reported as 22 Jan 1926 and she is survived by 5 children:Tom and Ole of Macoun; Mrs. Betzy sic Bramstad, Midale California; Mrs. Mary Johnson of St. Paul, Minnesota; Mrs. Ingeborg Dækko Hemsedal, Hallingdal; another daughter Mrs. Inge Bergum died some before. It also says Liv came to Douglas County, Minnesota in 1890. In 1892 they homesteaded on the Sisseton reservation by Crawford, S.D. for 11 years, then two years at Roseau, Minnesota and after 1904 in Macoun.
There are Solberg farms found in the Gol (Hallingdal) bygdebok in volumes IV, pages 609, 722, and volume VI, page 673; and a Solberget in Volume III, page 834. Perhaps this is the farm you need for the other question.
Hope this is of interest....

Hi Jackie, how are you? Hope all is well and you don't have too much snow!
Could I bother you to look up in the Hemsedal Bydgebøk any information you might have about the Branvold farm? I am wondering Ole Thronsen Branvold had any brothers or sisters who might have emmigrated to North American.
Thank you,
Erik.

Hi,
the 1875-census for this area (Frosta, Nord-Trøndelag) is not available online, so unless they re-located, you will not find them at http://digitalarkivet.no
Frostaboka (several volumes) have farmhistory for the area.

Thank you Jan Peter for your information. These people are all on the fringes and connected to the main person of interest in this thread.
Since, we began this journey long ago, we now have pictures of our ancestors and this has been a very fulfilling experience.
Again, hope you are well and will speak with you again soon.
Regards,
Erik. |

It's been a nice pleasure. Margaret (Mickelstadther) Solberg was a hard nut to crack, but eventually all the loose threads came together... It's actually just 2 years since she was "found"...

Yes, this has been fun. As you have no doubt noticed I have not been so interested in learning "how far back" we go. Instead I have focused not only on Margit but have spent a great deal of time learning about her siblings as well as their descendants. We have received many unknown photos from these distant relatives and have made many new friends along the way.
There is a whole other side of Norwegians I need to learn about but believe I don't know if I will have the same amount of energy or desire as I have in trying to complete this side of my family.
One thing that has still been making me wonder is the identity of the Christian Solberg we found in Jevnaker. We will need to get back into that some day It would be nice to have a picture of him and we would have to locate living relatives in Norway in order to do that.
I wonder if his family would know of his relationship with Margit and their illigitemate son, Olaf?
Talk to you soon.
Erik. |

Jan Peter, could you take a look at this and tell me what you think?
First, here is the birth record of a Peter Ellevsen #46, birth record Peter Ellevsen (Frosten)
Second, here is a record of Ellev Gabrielsen, which I think could be his father? (# 3649)#3649 1865 Census Frosten
Now here is Peter in the 1865 census......#3635 (1865 Census Frosten)
What has happened here? It shows him as a fosterbarn but it appears his father is still alive? What do you think this means? Am I missing anything here?
thank you. |

Hi,
I'm not sure what is says for farmname for his mother in the christening record?
Peter
Born 22-Sep-1858
Chr: 19-Dec-1858
Illegitimate child
Parents: Bachelor Ellev Gabrielsen Mossing & girl Karen Anna Pedersdatter (.....?)
Both their 1st Illegitimate child
Ellev Gabrielsen Mossing (1840-1922)
Parents: Gabriel Olsen Mossing & Elen Kjerstina Ellevsdatter Nonstad.
Married Kirsten Margrethe Olsdatter Fonnåen (Fanum) in 1867.
Their children:
Elen Oline Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1868
Germanus Ellevsen Mossing b. 1870, d. 1908
Hanna Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1872
Eilert Marius Ellevsen Mossing b. 1875, d. 1878
Ole Ellevsen Mossing b. 1877, d. 1961
Elise Marie Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1878
Odin Kastor Ellevsen Mossing b. 1881, d. 1920 in Minnesota
Othelie Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1884
Hans Peter Ellevsen Mossing b. 1889, d. 1950 in Hibing, Minnesota
Since the parents was not married, the child normally stayed with it's mother. The reson why he is in a foster home in 1865 could be several. The mother could have died, she could be in financial difficulties or she could have emigrated.

Jan Peter.
O.K. This is interesting......
Do you see this immigration record of the 3 Mossing girls to Brandon, Minnesota in 1885?
Ingeborg, Oline and Hanna Mossing emmigration to Brandon in 1885
Peter Ellevsen Mossing was listed as a Godparent to Hanna Mossing, who's birth record is shown here: #23 Hanna Mossing
What is the relationship of Peter Ellevsen to the Mossing girls emmigrating to Brandon, Minnesota, and to the Mossings you pointed out in the previous post?
Thank you.

Hi J.P.
I do not have access to Ancestry where I am right now. Do you?
If so, can you find an Ole Tollefsen b. 1820 or Tellevsen in Brandon, Douglas County Minnesota in the Minnesota 1885 Census?
It appears he may have emmigrated first and then payed for his families tickets later?
Erik.
