Thorstad in Wisconsin

Legg inn av Liv Marit Haakenstad » 13 nov 2004 17:39:49

Hello!

Kari (Johnsdatter) Thorstad was born at Brøttum in Ringsaker, and emigrated
as Kari Johnsdatter Forlibakken from Oslo April 25. 1866, and arrived Quebec
June 7. 1866 (the ship was Manila). Kari is buried at Pigeon Creek Cemetery
in 1914 (b. 1823), with her som Jonas Amundsen Thorstad (1846-1920). Her
husband Amund Engebretsen Falibakken b. ca. 1826 was buried at Lower Coon
Valley Cemetery in 1896. Kari and Amund also had the children Nils b. 1849,
Simen b. 1854, Andreas b. 1859, d. 1869 and buried with his father at Lower
Coon Valley Cemetery, Ole b. 1861, Eline b. 1843, Berte b. 1841 and Marte b.
1855. Kari had a brother Ole Johnsen, b. 1805 who emigrated with his second
wife Berthe Syversdatter b. 1815. The bygdebok for Brøttum said they
emigrated in 1855, but I really don´t know if that´s correct. Oles son with
his first wife Anne, emigrated to Amerika in 1865 with his wife Kristine
Olsdatter Hauknes b. 1836 with Balder, captein Isaksen from Christiania May
7. 1865, and arrived Quebec June 29. 1865.

Do any of you know this family? It is proberly tree families called Thorstad
in Wisconsin - one from Balestrand, one from Drammen and my family from
Brøttum in Ringsaker.

I have also called several of the, but it dosen´t seems to be my relatives.
