Amund Jacobsen

[gj10647]

Searching for information about Amund Jacobsen and his wife Anna Olsdatter. In 1865 they are living on the Falle farm in Nes. Did this family emigrate, if so they may be the family I am looking for. Amund changed his last name to Jackson in America.

Thank you for your help.

Do you know when "Jackson" arrived US, and which harbour ?

The family is found in bygdebok for Nes Romerike, Volume III, page 430 for Gnr 127, bruksnr 31 Husåsfallet.

The place was separated from the farm Husåsen (No. 127/11) in 1875. But before that, the property was leased by Ole Finnset Husåsens law: Amund Jakobsen Dystlia (born in Odal). Married to Anne Olsdatter Husåsen, born in 1834.

Children: Jacob, India, Elise (born 1862), Andreas (born 1864), Grete (born 1867), Otto (born 1869) and Oline (born 1871).

Amund Jakobsen traveled to America, and the farm Husåsfallet was then sold to Ole Olsen Husås.

Mvh

I think that must be the right ones. A school has been named after Anna Olsdatter here in Wisconsin but not much information other than that she emigrated with her husband and children. This will be a nice addition.

Thank you so very much.
