...born in North-Trøndelag (Beitstad) May 11, 1890. What is very special for me - and why I am asking you - is that he now after 1900 and probably 1910, emigrated from Norway to Winnipeg (in Manitoba) in Canada! Hiw parents were Martin Rudolph Benum and Hanna Christiansdaughter. It is absolutely very difficult for me to "find " his emigration from Norway. He married Lena Attina Tessem - born Aug 4, 1893, the same place in Norway. Their first son - Frank Waldemar Benum - was born Jan.6, 1914 in Superior Wisconsin, USA.
Is it possible to find when Frank's parents were married - and when they have emigrated from North-Trøndelag in Norway?
Yours sincerely, Anne.

Peder Christian's wife's name looks more like Lina Ottine in her baptism record. She emigrated in 1913.
