| I am trying to find information on Olia Olsdatter Fekier. I think she was married to a Halver Olsen in Nord Aurdal around 1797. |

You will find them at Graav Store in 1801
Olia was baptized September 29 1771, see 4th entry on right hand page. Her parents were Ole Olsen Fekier and Gubiĝr Haagensdatter.
Halvor and Olia were engaged June 24 1797, see last entry on left hand page
Their first child, Kari, was baptized March 24 1798, see 4th entry on left page.

I am sure your dad will be happy.
About 6000 Norwegians participated in the civil war, 1000 fall.
Remarkable to think about the early emigrants, they left Norway for a better live and ended in the worst of all, a cruel civil war.
There were so many Ole and Olsen among them, they were ordered to change last name to separate them when orders were given.
Most common was to use the name after the farm they came from or the grandparents farm in Norway.

I think it is important for us to never forgot those that came before us. Our lives are better because of their sacrifice's and perseverance. I have one more request-Halver Olsen's grandson, John Olsen was my grandfathers biological father. He was born June 21, 1834 in Hedalen. I do have a copy of the 1865 census that shows him living at Ildjarnstadbraenden. I have not been able to find out when or where he died or if he came with his family to America. I have tried to check the immigration records with no luck.
Thanks! |

I agree, its important not to forget.
I will look into your question when the scanned church books is back online, it has been down this evening.
Ildjarnstadbrenden is a remarkable name, here is the Legend from Hedal church, the Norwegian site on left "Norsk(bokmċl)" has many pictures from the interior.

John Olsen was born on Groveseie, a sub farm under Grov, christened in Hedalen August 17. 1834 born to Ole Halvorsen and Kari Eriksdatter Grovseie #69
Both parents lived in 1865, John and Gunnild had a daughter Kari named after his mother, Ole and Olea were renters (not mentioned as Johns siblings).
Ildjarnstadbrĉnden 1865 as you pointed out.
I´ts 18 persons named Ildjarnstad living in Norway today, 3 in Hedalen.
