| Kaare, thank you once again for the lesson. You keep teaching and I will keep learning. In the beginning, I was told to work through my ancestory chronologically reversed. I see now where it will sometimes be necessary to reverse the process. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. |

Repete009,
I am also a novice at geneology. I am also working on my family history and my son found this website today. I am 7th generation directly descended from Barbro Nilsdatter Pladson of Sveinunggard farm. Repete009 , if you are out there, you are my cousin (twice removed?)! Clara Pladson was my grandmother's sister...her name was Selma Olena Pladson (married name Siljan.) She was born in 1894 and passed away in 1995 at 100 years and 6 mos. I have the book "The Family from Sveinunggard, Lillegard, and Lillegardslien" that I think you referred to---it was written in 1982 by a Charles Benrud and given to my grandmother. I also have a photograph of Nils Ostenson Pladson and Josephine Kittleson (my great-grandparents) with their 7 surviving children (including Aunt Clara.) Clara was the 3rd oldest of the 7, and my "Nana" was the last born. The picture is circa 1900. They lived in Hatton, North Dakota at the time. They moved to Saskatchewan, Canada not long after 1900, where g-grandfather Nils died in 1919. Also, I think you are correct on your date of marriage for Nils and Caroline (1874.) My history states Barbro and Halvor sold South Veselgard in 1860 and came to America DURING the 1860's. So it's possible that they could have still been in Norway in 1865. Nils' and Caroline's first child (our Great Aunt Ida) was born in 1876 (probably 2 yrs after their marriage.) Hope to hear a response.
