If you are the Martha Anderson I think you are we are 7th cousins. (The granddaughter of Astrid Ecker.)

Thanks, and yes, I am your cousin Martha Anderson. I think you answered a question for me a couple of years ago. Always good to get to know your cousins!

I was just looking an some old ...

My great grandmother was Marie Justine Andreasdatter Hammer, born in 1859 at Hammer, Overhalla, and died in 1916 in the USA.

I’m having some trouble trying to determine her father’s (my great great grandfather’s) ancestors. He was Andreas Olsen Hammer, born in 1804, Værem, Grong, Norway, died ...

I think this is Ingvar/Ingwald's grave. I have found two census records that I believe to be his. They misspell his name as Ingra and Dugvar. He seems never to have married or had any children.

Thank you, I think that must be the right Ole Ekker. His brother Ingvar lived with him in Minnesota in 1900 but I haven't been able to trace him. I'll keep trying.

Ole Williamsen Ekker/Ecker

My grandmother, Astrid Ekker (Ecker in the USA) was born at Skage in Overhalla and immigrated to Minnesota. I found records for her uncle, Ole Williamsen Ekker/Ecker, and his family in the USA, where his name is often misspelled, sometimes as Eaker or Eckhart. After I ...

Thank you!

After I posted this, I did another search, even though I thought I had exhausted all other possibilities. I found a website that covers Kari and her children and her parents etc. It confirms the Kolstad name for Kari. I'll change the birthdate for Ingeborg as well.

I’m looking for more information about the family of my great great great grandmother, Ingeborg Hansdatter Losnes b. Nov 6 1812, Ringebu, d. Jan 3 1907, near Underwood, MN USA. Married to Ola Jonsen (Ole Johnson) Aune.
I’d also like to know more about her mother, Kari Andersdatter Fladmoen, born ca ...

I posted it on May 5th, but haven't had a reply.Maybe you should inquire there too?

Did you notice that a census--1875 I think--lists P Svendsen as Føderaadsmand og Handelsmand?

Thanks again, Judith. I've been dealing with these issues with my father's family. His father and his mother's parents all came from Sweden. I found 6 Anders Nilssons of the right age in the right location, and two were married to Ingeborg Svensdotters. The Norwegian side has been much easier, and ...

Thank you, Judith. I'm delighted to have found out so much about Per, largely due to all your research.

There's only one Sven Hansson on the list of traders from Boras, so it does seem possible that the story is about him and his son.

It does seems likely that Hans was married twice, or at ...

I posted this on the Swedish Forum but haven't had a response yet.

I was searching for information on Sven Hansson and came across a story about a murder and a trial. I have to use google translate to read it, and that is far from perfect. It talks about economic conditions among Boras traders in ...

I reported back to the Swedish forum, which had directed me to post here. (A very good idea, it turns out.) The moderator just replied with this message. It seems that Per/Peder could have been coming and going from Norway.

This is what she wrote:

Thank all of you for your excellent information. I found another record for a Peder Svendsen in the digital archive and had been wondering if it was the right one, but the dates don't match and are a couple of years too early.

I've also been doing some research on Karen Elisabeth. There are ...

Thank you so much, Anne. This is great information to have. And it's wonderful to know that we're related!

My grandmother, Astird Ekker, was born in Norway at Skage, Overhalla, Nord-Trondelag in 1885. She said that her great grandfather, Per Svensson, came to Norway from Borås and was born in 1807. He died at Skage in 1896, when Astrid was 11 years old.

I have not been able to find any record of Per’s ...
