Knut Grasslain

Legg inn av gj10647 » 21 apr 2014 23:43:21

Knut K. Grasslain(?) was born in 1859 and emigrated to the USA in1880. He married Mette Ottersdatter born 1869 in Stjørdal,NT.

Any idea where Knut Grasslain is from - I assume he is from NT. He and Mette married right after she arrived with her parents. Their tickets were paid for by someone in USA - Knut maybe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are 15 named Knut in N-T in 1865 census.

No match for birth 1859....... :?

Do you have any suggestion what the name Grasslain was originally - assuming it was changed in the USA? Names were so often changed after arrival in the USA.

Hi

I would think the ending -lain originally was -land.

Some possibilities:
Grasland, Grøsland, Gæsland.

I think it is Gressli in Stjørdal. Lain probably should be Lein which means hillside, as does Li(en).
Grasslain = Graslein = Gressli

Of course that does not necessarily mean he was born in Stjørdal.

Knud K. Grasslain - I think it is probable that the K. stands for Knudsen. - Tove DJ
