Johannes Peterson Aarseth, born Mar 24 1839 in Sondfjord, Norway and died Dec 27 1917 in Chippewa County, Minnesota. He was using Johannes Peterson in USA before taking the Aarseth surname. He might have immigrated in 1881 to Montevideo, Minnesota. His father is listed as Peter Sundahl.

Johannes Peterson's first wife was Syneva Hoversdatter and might have married in 1866. They might have had seven children including Ole Peterson Aarseth (born Jun 30 1871) and Henry Peterson Aarseth (born 1873).

Johannes Peterson's second wife was Randi Johandatter Oddan, born about 1852 and died Oct 17 1920, died in Chippewa County, Minnesota. They married Mar 11 1888 in Chippewa County, Minnesota and he is listed on the marriage cert as a Peterson. Her parents might be John Bradendson and Ragnald Swirson.

I have some information on their descendants. I am looking for more information on these people and their ancestors. And the names of Johannes and Syneva's Peterson children. What
happened to Syneva? I am not finding evidence that Peter Sundahl / John Bradendson / Ragnald Swirson ever coming to America.

The database at FamilySearch.org indicates that Johannes Pedersen married Synneve Andrea Haaversdr in July of 1867. The location was Ålhus parish of Jølster district, Sogn og Fjordane. Parish records for Ålhus/Jølster are available for years as early as ca. 1696 for your research.

The 1865 Norwegian census probably shows Synneve living on the Aarset farm in Jølster.

And this is probably Johannes still living on the Sandal farm there.

I believe Johannes Peterson's second wife Randi Johansdatter, Oddan is the one emigrated from Hemne, Sør Trøndelag in 1887, see #3. She had the son, #4 Johan Arnt, 7 years old who was born out of wedlock, see #16.

Randi Johansdatter was born Aug 4 1852, see #71. Her parents were Johan Brynjulfsen, Fossen and Ragnild Sivertsdatter.
The parents and Randis siblings in 1865.
