Hi Lou, Where in North Dakota did he go?? Do you have an obit on your grandfather? Who did he marry? Children? Have you found him in any census records? Did he homestead? What was your grandfather's name? The more information you give, the more we can help.

It would have helped had you also given the name of your grandfather. I know there is Hæreid and Hereid in Årdal in Sogn. There is several Ole's and Ove there, but I couldn't find anybody with anything close to Seamonsen. You have your grandfathers name and it might be possible to find him on the emigrant lists, but of course I couldn't check since I don't know his name.

Someone has already suggested church records in the US and the SS-5 from Social Security. You didn't say you had checked his death certificate, but that could have been where you got the names of his parents. Other sources of information include the family information sheet from the funeral home. It contains the information normally found in obituaries, and more. It may be more specific in his place of birth. If you don't know what funeral home handled his funeral, the cemetery where he is buried may have that information, and it is normally on death certificates. We had a tough one, too - Sophie Anderson or Danielsson (conflicting surnames), from "Stockholm or Uppsala" (not very specific location and wrong), born before 1860 (so her birth wasn't in the extracted birth records). We had her birth date (but it was wrong by a year), the year of immigration, her niece, Marie Danielsson also immigrated and we had her birth date and year of immigration. Her death certificate said her parents were Ander Anderson and Stina (but the information was provided by her husband and his father was Ander Andersson_. We found Marie Danielsson in the emigration records as being from Gillberga in Värmland, and initially dismissed that as too far from Stockholm. Then we found that the US church records had been published, and she was from Gillberga.

Several around here used Andy for Andreas/Anders/Andrew for a nickname. All from Norway.

I have seen examples where messages are not shown by RootsWeb and, in this case, vice versa. I found Margit's responses (see below) only on RootsWeb and have included them below so others can refer to them. To me, Margit's findings seem quite plausible as a match. I suppose Andy could be a nickname of Anders as well as of Andrew. One place name in Norway is his birthplace and the other is the place he left. It is my experience that many dates in records are off by a year and sometimes several years, based on information differences from one source to another. Also there may be typographical errors in the search information as is likely in at least the death date here. Not to mention names that are badly mangled by census takers. There is also the Brooklyn, NY connection and the rarity of the Langaas surname in America. Anyway, Margit's information should be considered and I have copied it below for those viewing from other than the RootsWeb site. Regards, Phil From: Margit <snip> Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2003 09:05:09 -0600 I rechecked, and do not think this is your Hans in the 1930 census.

This is my first time posting in this Newsgroup. I am trying to extend a branch of my family tree that goes back to Norway. Here is what I have: Villom Larsen b. Abt. 1760 Hidra, Norway m. Marte Tollaksdatter b. Abt. 1771 Norway. Son: Gabriel Villomsen b. Abt. 1798 Grandson Gabriel Andreas Gabrielson b. Abt. 1836 Can anyone give me more information about the ancestors or point me to a place to look? I have the rest of the line that connects to me, but just trying to add some to it. Albert

There are some 10 persons listed in the telephone directory of Eiker, whose family name is Kolbræk (Kolbraek). If you have some more details, like names, dates etc, I could give them a call and ask.
