'Nynorsk' is what is left of the Old Norwegian language and the 'father' is Ivar Aasen who traveled around in Norway and 'collected' dialects to write a grammar of this language (beautiful!). They are both official languages today and are getting closer to each other. kelly

Ragnvald is ALWAYS a boy's name - so if you are sure you have read the name correctly, you definitely have a male ancestor on your hands there. Marianne

Dear all This is what I have found to be the easiest Go to "Start" then to "Settings", "Control Panel" "Keyboard" "Language" and then scroll down to Norwegian, both varieties are offered, for this it doesn't make any difference. Select the Language, then "ok" and "ok. You will see a little rectangle in the lower right of task bar. When you need to switch to Norwegian just toggle on this and Norwegian becomes your language on the computer. These are the keys you will use: ; = ø : = Ø [ = å { = Å ' = æ " = Æ Just for fun pick Swedish and the semi-colon\colon becomes ö and Ö Some of the punctuation marks will be changed to. I find it no big deal to do the toggling between languages rather than trying to memorize the codes for the other method. Hope this helps Be

Ragnvald is a name for boys, but Ragnhild is a name for girls. If you are reading hand-writing, it might be difiult to notice the difference. -- Vennlig hilsen Frank H. Johansen frank.johansen@hm.telia.no

One of the children listed with a family in the emigration records was named Ragnvald and I thought it was labeled female. But, a recent piece of information made me think the Ragnvald I located was really a male and I just misread the record. Is it generally a male or female name?

On a recent trip we visited the Institute in Vajxo to try and find information on several relatives. We found sketchy information on some but could not find anything on my grandfather Axel Bernard Nilsson (later Nelson). family history states he was involved in the nation wide strike in the early 1900's, and the side he was on lost resulting in his blacklisting. Would this result in any information being suppressed so he became an invisible person. Because of this he signed up with a Danish sailing company and came to America arriving about 1910. Any information would be appreciated. Thankyou Glen Ficht

Hello All, Believe I have broken down a brick wall. I have a Martine Olsdatter Binningstad from Løiten Hedmark leaving Norway on September 16, 1870 on the Albion Line headed for Galverston, Texas. The reason I believe this is her is because I know she was born in 1845, this woman is 25 years old, she is headed for Texas, my ggrandmother went to Texas first when she came to the USA, and my ggrandmother's name was Martine Olsdatter/Olsen. This is all new territory for me (Texas research and Løiten Hedmark in Norway). Anyone with any ideas? Anyone have any idea where the Binningstad name came from? More that I found out: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/wc/webcens.exe?slag=n&filename=arkivverket/ft1865/f60415&postnr=1948&spraak= I answered my own question when I found the above in the 1865 census about the Binningstad. Martine living at Benningstad store farm. I never thought to check the 1865 census as I always thought she left before that until I found her in the 1920 census of Clay County at Ancestry.com today and it said she came to America in 1870. Now to find her parents. >From her death certificate, it says they are: Ole Oleson Mattisund and Olai Engebretsen. Exactly as spelled. I find this in the 1865 census of Norway in Løiten: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/wc/webcens.exe?slag=n&filename=arkivverket/ft1865/f60415&variabel=16&postnr=2994&fulle=true&spraak= which lists an Oliv Engebretsd as mother and Eline Johansd as her daughter living with her on the Eneberg Farm. Martine had a sister Eline who was just about the same age as her and ended up in Hawley, Minnesota also. Mange Takk for any help! Margit

In the 1865-census, I find 29 with the name of Bendikke. Only one of them seems to half-way match your Oline, namewise. (There is no trace of Carlsen, though!) Olianne Bendikke Andersd., 13 yrs, at 1432 Holsen (Førde prestegjeld) in Sogn og Fjordane is the daughter of farmer Anders Ols. and his wife Lovise Stefensd. How certain is her birth year? This Oline would be born in 1852, rather than 1858. But if she left on her own, as early as 1870, it is more likely that she was 18 rather than 12, isn't it? I don't know - this may be completely useless to you. From her name, would it perhaps be logical to do a search based on the theory that her father was named Carl and her grandfathers might be Ole and Bendik? You will find the 1865 census at http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/. Good luck! Bente Øien Hauge Kjell Rasmussen wrote: > I'm looking for my mother's aunt and her family in the United States.

If you use a text programme like Word, you can enter the menu "set in" There you enter "symbols". If you scroll to something like "Normal text" you find all the special Norwegian signs-- (there you also will find a key combination for each sign - if you use them often - for instance ALT Ctrl +3 ) Kjell Allen & Joyce Krueger <akrueger@frontiernet.net> skrev i meldingsnyheter:001b01c066e5$36742860$41eaf6cc@oemcomputer... > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Olaf" <kringhaug@home.com> > To: <NORWAY-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 12:40 PM > Subject: Re: Typing Norwegian > > > > Hi Jim! > > You'll find the way to do this by going: > > http://www.typeart.com/special-characters.html > > You might be wise to write the letters you need on a slip and tape to > > your monitor. > > Olaf > > > > > > > > Can someone tell me how to use my computer keyboard so I can type the > letters (in Norwegian) to get the small circles over certain letters and the > slash through the O? > > > > > > Jim P > > > > > > > ______________________________ > >
