Bergh - Rynning

Legg inn av gj02526 » 26 mai 2006 19:25:13

Min oldefar Christian Bergh var gift med Valborg Rynning. De hadde en sønn Christian som også ble lege i Våler. Jeg har ikke oversikt over hans barn som skulle bli søskenbarn til min far. Jeg husker at jeg som liten i 1950 årene en gang besøkte en fetter av far i Solør.

Hvor kan jeg finne mer om denne del av familien?

This is the information I have been able to extract from the various high school yearbooks of Christian Bergh and his children:

Christian Bergh (30.10.1873 Åsnes - 1952 Våler) was educated in Norway (examen artium (high school graduate) from Kristiania katedralskole 1892, cand.med. (equivalent to M.D.) from Kgl. Frederiks Universitet (now University of Oslo) 1899) before he emigrated to U.S.A., where he was an intern at The Gundersen Clinic in La Crosse, Wisconsin until 1902 and later had his own practice in Whitehall, Wisconsin (while simultaneously practicing as sole physician at the Trempeleau County Insane Asylum) until 1915, when he returned to Norway and settled in Våler as government-appointed distriktslege (county physician) from 1916 until he retired just after WW2. He owned and lived on the farm Lønnerud in Våler, which to the best of my knowledge is still in the family.

He was married 20.11.1907 in La Crosse to Thora Berg (15.02.1888 Molde - 17.12.1934 Våler), daughter of sogneprest (vicar) of Aurskog Bernt Marius Berg (15.06.1855 Våler - ?) and Thora Augusta Røsen (16.08.1856 Åsnes - 19.01.1914 Aurskog). They had four children, of which the three elder were born in U.S.A.

(1) Valborg Augusta (nickname "Bitte"), b. 14.09.1908 in La Crosse, d. ?; housewife; married 1942 to farmer and forest owner Christian Svenkerud (20.09.1909 Våler - ?); two children: 1. Halvor (b. 14.05.1943), 2. Thora (b. 04.04.1948).

(2) Christian, b. 30.12.1909 in Whitehall, d. ?; engineer (in 1942 an employee of the Skjævestad engineering company in Lillehammer).

(3) Bernt Marius, b. 11.09.1912 in Whitehall, d. ?; farmer and herredsskogmester (county forest commissioner) in Våler; married 1948 to Inger Christine Hanestad (30.11.1922 Øvre Rendal), daughter of farmer Sæming Hanestad; two children: 1. Bente (b. 23.03.1949), 2. Aagot (b. 11.05.1951).

(4) Ragnhild, b. 23.09.1916 in Våler, d. ?; insurance company employee; married 1941 to chartered accountant Othar Faye-Wevle (27.12.1920 Ulefoss); one child: 1. Petter (b. 05.06.1953).
