no.slekt.programmer wasn't the correct newsgroup in the first place, and as far as I know it has been officially abandoned though it still appears on my server. I'm crossposting to two other newsgroups. On 13 Sep 2000 04:16:45 GMT, doddabean@aol.com (Doddabean) wrote: >Grandfather/Olaf Amundsen >Grandmother/Anna Halvorsen Amundsen.

Joan Amundsen First, I will assume that Stavanger is not necessarily the city, but perhaps Stavanger Amt (the old name of what is now Rogaland fylke). I have an Olaf Amundsen married to an Anna Halvorsen on the island of Karmøy, across the Boknafjord from Stavanger city. They might possibly be the ones you are looking for Olaf Amundsen b. 1869 m. Anna Magdalena Halvorsdatter Åkra b. 1881. If your Olaf died in 1962 or 1963 (you said age 93), that's a good sign, but if it is within a few years don't dismiss this possibility yet. I information on the family of Anna's parents from the bygdebok for Åkra, but I do not have the book. They were on Åkra bnr. 108, and I have a note that Anna Magdalena is on Åkra andre oppsitjarar 131. This is the town of Åkrahamn, near Haugesund. Maybe someone can provide more information. I think I only have her husband Olaf Amundsen from the LDS Ancestral File http://www.familysearch.org so you might go there and find out who the submitter is. Olaf and Anna Magdalena are listed with one child there, "Living" with no further information. The submitter should be able to tell you if that child matches up with one of them that you have. Perhaps also where Olaf Amundsen came from. I note that I have it with that spelling, though on this island the name seems to be normally spelled Omund or Ommund rather than Amund. I also recommend going to Slektsforum Karmøy at http://www.slektsforumkarmoy.no to ask if anyone there has any additional information to help determine if this if the family you are looking for. Let me know if this does match up, and I can give you what information I have on Anna Magdalena's ancestors. Gene Nygaard Crosby, North Dakota, USA

Comments? > I was the one who informed Aftenposten that they had been taken for a ride..:-) not for the first but second or 3rd time, by the same bluff maker, just like Swedish TV2 a few years ago. In panic, Aftenposten removed their article from the WWW, being ridiculed and crucified by Dagbladet, another primary newspaper in Norway (having been being tipped off by me), but later had to reinstall it because of critisism concern press ethics. In 2 weeks time Aftenposten may present the real story about the fake, written by respected genealogist Tore Hermundsson Vigerust. Kai Werner Oestreng

I would like to thank everyone on this group that helped point me in the right directions. Special thanks to Bente Fostad who guided me in the use of the Census Database and to P. Risvold who got me to the right area in Norway and showed me the next steps to take. Thanks Again Dennis

Only problem... the fine print says that Yahoo will donate $1 for every click... up to a total of $5000. One may suppose they already reached that relatively small number of clicks, so there is no need to rush there.

Dear friends, I am doing some research about people living in Jonsberg parish, Sweden from about 1730-1900, many of my ancestors came from that area. It would be interesting to have contact with other people that research the same area. Some of them moved to America. Here are some familynames I research in Jonsberg: Westergren, Krögerström, Lundberg, Söderström and many more ! Jonsberg is located close to Norrköping by the sea. Please mail me at: ninymanno spam@algonet.se , remove no spam Best regards, Niklas Nyman Norrköping, Sweden

But actually, you women should feel fortunate that it doesn't apply to you. Which means you will actually have to discover your own ancestry by researching the records yourself. And that is where you will also discover the true fun of genealogy. A list of ancestors is truly meaningless unless your only interest is in having a list of ancestors! To answer your question, this (the list of ancestors, without supporting documentation) has no relationship to genealogy whatsoever. Arlan

For those of you that read Norwegian, there is an article today in Aftenposten online that says unequivocally that a man can trace his ancestors all the way back to Halvdan Svarte and even gives a list of the lineage. I am a total amateur when it comes to geneology, but from what I have read on this newsgroup, I thought there was no concrete proof of lineage that far back. Comments? Marianne
