Can anybody help me find information on Hjalmer Kallerud, I am having no luck at all finding any kind of information on him as far as finding his parents and siblings. This is what I do know: Hjalmer J Kallerud born 1884 in Holmstrend, Norway, immegrated to canada in 1914, married Helma Nilsen around 1925 and died in Bayfield, Wisconsin, USA in 1953. He has a brother Emil and a sister, Inga, but I dont have any more info on them. All this information was given to me by my grandmother, Florence Goulet (Kallerud), Hjalmers daughter. Any info on him while still in norway would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the birth record for Emil and as shown above it fits with the Emil from Minneapolis. Also the Ivarstaer and Iverstad listed in the various records for Emil and Hjalmar could likely be Svarstad in Lardal.

Most likely. You will notice if you click on the blue Ole Hjalmar highlighted in the post by jwiborg that his name at baptism is Ole Hjalmar just as if you click on the #1 in my posting that his brothers name is Emil Theodor. He could then have used the name Ole or Hjalmar or some version of those names throughout his life. Clicking on the highlighted part of a post brings you to the orginal data.

Hjalmar and Emils grandfather, Peder Olsen, was born Aug 21 1808, see 3rd record on left page. His father was Ole Christiansen, Leerud and the mother most likely Helene Andersdatter.
Ole Kristiansen, not yet married, and his parents in 1801.
