John Conrad Tostensen Gorder

Legg inn av gj05515 » 23 mai 2010 10:38:25

Hi,

I am looking for the Norwegian home for the following family:

John Conrad Tostensen Gorder, born in Norway 1840 - 1843; he was married to
Maren Hansen Gullickstedt, born 1841 - 1844. She was the daughter of Mary Hansen.

John and Maren left Norway in 1861 for Wisconsin, then moved to Chicago in 1875.
Maren's mother lived together with the family. John used the name Gorder in America.

Mvh,

Brian

Gorder may be taken from the farm name Gaarder in Norway.

So we are looking for a John/Johan/Johannes born ca 1843 and had a connection to a Gaarder farm.

Hi Hanne,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, John was married three times. His first wife had the name Gullickstedt. I see there are farms of that name in Hedmark and Sondre Trondhjem.
Maybe I'll get lucky and find something in Hedmark.

Mvh,

Brian
