Bjelde/Bjelle exist as Bjella.
Reseland seems to have "vanished" due to expansion.
Enter this map and write;
Bjella, Sogndal, click SØK and enter Bjella, Sogndal (bruk(gardsbruk)) and watch the farm .
It looks like the farm do not exist, there are two dwellings and two garages there.
Bjellastølen (seter) that appears in the map was a summer pasture under Bjella where the girls from Bjella lived during the summetime looking after the livestock and made butter and cheese.
The use of Bjellastølen ended 1958 and is now most likely used for vaccation.

JaneC - Those are fabulous links! Unfortunately, as much as I would LOVE to check them all out, page by page, line by line, I think I may have to get some actual work done today. When I've checked my personal email from my office the past few days, there seems to be another clue left for me and I (of course) couldn't possibly leave them until I get home tonight -- I have to check them out now!! Very funny about Pasadena. We live in Chatsworth in the San Fernando Valley, about 35 miles away. I'd say about 30 min by car, but this is Los Angeles...anything more than about 5 miles away is going to be at least 30 minutes by car; I'd estimate that, in traffic, it's close to a 90 minute drive. I work a mere 12 miles from home; my commute is 60 to 90 minutes (or more) each day.
Kåre: "Minnesota became the 32. state on Mai 11. 1858 and was originally settled by a lost tribe of Norwegians seeking refuge from the searing heat of Wisconsin`s winters." That's very funny!! Similar to the Mark Twain quote, "The coldest winter I spent was a summer in San Francisco".
Being born & raised in Los Angeles, I don't have very much exposure to the cold. The 2 years I spent in Liverpool were the coldest I'd ever been in my life. I spent most of my days wearing jeans with 2 pair of thermal pants underneath; a long sleeved thermal shirt under a t-shirt under a sweater under a bit wool coat; three pair of gloves; three pair of socks under my boots and a big furry hat -- the kind with the flaps -- to keep my ears warm...and I was STILL cold. I'd never seen falling snow, so that was an amazing experience. Our weather is one of those things that we native Angelenos take for granted.

A good laugh prolongs life 
There are probably many who could wish for California in the wintertime, but you get used to cold and snow.
We say there is no bad weather but bad clothes.
Spring in Norway is green and beautiful when nature restart.

I will try to look for his wife Kari Iversdatter tomorrow.
Time to blow the candle in Norway.

WOO HOO!!! Yippee Debra! 
Looking at the register of people departing from Bergen that April day in 1886, and comparing it to the ship's manifest you found, I'd say these could be the names you point out (the names and ages below are as they appear in the transcribed Bergen record):
all going to Stoughton, Wisconsin:
Ole Jørgensen Riseland 28
Unni Nilsdatter Bjelde 34
Kari Olsdatter Riseland 7
Jørgen Olsen Riseland 4
Anna Olsdatter Riselund 3
Peder Ludvigsen Espesæter 11
Ole Johannessen Bjelde 28
Anne Pedersdatter Bjelde 60 <------- Ole's mother, not wife
Johannes Asbjørnsen Øvrethun 18
Tosten Asbjørnsen Øvrethun 19
Going to Wisconsin (McFarland?)
Lars Andersen Bergsnæs 20 going to Mcfarland??? Wisconsin
Peder Pedersen Bergsnæs 18 ditto
going to Stoughton:
Elling Ellingsen Flugem? 22
Lars Olsen Kvale 17
Nils Olsen Seierstad 16
Congratulations - a very good finding! |
