Jan Peter. Who is Cecil Teigen?



Hello gentlemen,
I am a descendant of Peder and Sissel (Cecil) Teigen. The would be my great, great, grandparents. Peder was the brother of Knut Teigen and they all settled originally in South Dakota eventually moving to Kalispel Montana. Peder died in about 1942 and Sissel lived into the 1950's. There are many Slethaugs still in the western Montana area, but not too many Teigen's (by name) from either Knut or Peder. Knut and Peder were from the area of Tuv, Hemsedal Norway. The orginal farm is still owned by the Bekkevold family of Teigen descendants. Any other questions, let me know...

So it looks like you have the correct man.

Godparents were Liv Mikkelsdatter, Ole Tronsen Sletto, Knud Andersen, Ingvald Knudsen & Kari Knudsdatter Fekjo.

Liv Mikkelsdatter & Ole Tronsen Sletto must be Margit's sister Liv b. 1840, and her husband Ola Trondson Brandvøl. He probably lived on both Sletto and Brandvøl farms.

Kari Knudsdatter Fekjo is most likely Sunnev's sister. Ingvald Knudsen could be her husband.

Jan Peter



The following text was taken from a Teigen family genealogy book:

Ola O. Teigen was born in Hallingdal, near Hemsedal Norway 4 Oct 1874. He was the fifth child of Ola Teigen and Sunnev (Fekjo) Teigen. Ola was named after his paternal great grandfather, Ola Torsteinson. The spelling of his given name was changed to "Ole", probably after he came to America. He arrived in the USA around 1905 and lived with his sister and brother-in-law, Birgit and Andrew Nygaard, in Wyndmere, Richland Co., North Dakota. Shortly after his arrival he attended one year of college in Crookston, MN....
Ole died a bachelor 12 Feb 1946 and was interred in the Boman Cemetary, ND.

He was bap. Ole
In many places in Buskerud where I live Ole was pronounced Ola in the everyday speech.

Indeed there are a number of years in Aal prestgjeld when Ole is recorded as Ohla!

I have never seen it elsewhere.

And there is, of course, the famous Norwegian-American cartoon "Han Ola og Han Per" and the two main characters represented to be from Hallingdal and Hadeland.

Erik,
Are you related to Solberg's that settled in Wisconsin? My father's best friend was a Solberg and his father was Erik. Was curious?

I can not see any connection to a farm similar to Teigen, but maybe someone else here can...?

Jan Peter



Taken from the Teigen genealogy book…

MIKKEL and BIRGIT HALVORSDTR (LOKJI) FAUSKO had these children:

MARGIT, born 1830. She had a son, TOR ASLAKSON, born 1856. It is not clear from the information on hand if both MARGIT and her son came to America. It may have been just her son.
OLA, born 1833, died (assume at an early age).
KARI, born 1834, was married in 1856 to OLA HELGESON BERG. They came to America.
BIRGIT, born 1837, dies 1844 at the age of 7.
LIV, born 1840, was married to OLA TRONDSON BRANDVOL, who was a farmer on Tubbon. They came to America.
OLA, born 1843. He is the father of KNUT O. TEIGEN and his BROTHERS and SISTERS.

The surname of these children is not listed except for OLA (1843), who is identified as OLA TEIGEN and as OLA FAUSKETEIGEN. According to Norwegian naming customs the sons may have been known as MIKKELSON FAUSKO and the daughters as MIKKELSDTR FAUSKO. No research has been done to substantiate this assumption.
Using the formula for naming Norwegian children, it is apparent these children were named for the following ancestors:

MARGIT – Named after Paternal Grandmother, MARGIT MEKKELSDTR.
OLA (1833) – Named after Paternal Grandfather, OLA TORSTEINSON.
KARI – Named after Maternal Grandmother, KARI BJORNSDTR LOKJI
BIRGIT – Named after Paternal Great Grandmother, BIRGIT HANSDTR EIKRE.
LIV – The name of her Maternal Great Grandmother (No. 21) is not known, but according to the formula it would have been LIV.
OLA (1843) – Inasmuch as his older brother, OLA (1833), died young, it is assumed he was named after his older brother.

Knut Olsen Teigen (travelling companion) to Theodore A. Thompson in 1914, is Theodore's cousin!
Knut is the son of Margit's brother Ole Mikkelsen Fauske-Teigen (1843-1923).

Ole Mikkelsen Fauske-Teigen (1843-1923) & Sunnev Knutsdatter Fekjo (1836-1906) had the following children:
Mekkel 1864-1955, farmer on Fauske-Teigen
Birgit* 1867-1952, married to Ola Nilsson Brandvøl
Birgit* 1870, married to Endre Trondson Jordheim -> Emigrated to America
Knut 1872 -> Emigrated to America
Ola 1874 -> Emigrated to America
Per 1878 -> Emigrated to America
Margit 1881

*Could be a writing error, I doubt that both sisters were named Birgit.





BIRGIT (1867) - Named after Paternal Grandmother, BIRGIT HALVORSDTR LOKJI

BIRGIT (1870/1871) - Named after Maternal Grandmother, BIRGIT OLSDTR GROVARGARDE

Dear Jan Peter and all.
I have learned officially that I am a decendant of a signer of the constitution, Eidsvollsmann Christofer Børgersen..and here he is in the 1801 census. It is his grandson, Christopher Olsen Solberg who was the father of an illigitimate son, Oluf Burros. I have to say, Jan Peter et al, that you nailed this very early in the thread...This is the family from Hoen and Solberg farms of Eker.
