                      |  I will be in Norway in July and am looking for relatives and a family farm:  Ole Hansen Gjerddalen b.Nordre Land, Torpa, Oppland 8/25/1826 and Gunild Gurnold Flalegaord Gjerddalen b. 3/27/1829 (same).  They were married 1853 in the Aamodt Kirke, Torpa.  Great-great grandpa died in Norway but grandma emigrated to Wisconsin in 1877.  Great grandpa and grandma:  Ole Andreas Gardalen b. 1855 Torpa emmigrated 1873 and m. Martha Jackson. They moved to Dows (Popejoy) Iowa.  I have the name of a family living in the farm house in 1977:  Sigrid G. Gjerddalen, 2884 Torpa. |

                       The farm looks to be abandoned. There is no-one registered with the street address used for the farm.
 
  
  If you borrow a car with a GPS, you can use the below street address (or GPS coordinates) to drive directly to the farm:: Vestergardsvegen 585 Nord-Torpa
