Hello! Thanks to the kind help of Birger Bring in Kristdala, Sweden, I am looking for any further information on Beata (Karlsdotter) Nilsson. Beata Karlsdotter was born September 14, 1815 in Dramsjo, Locknevi Parish, Smaland, Sweden. Her parents were Karl Magnus Johansson (born about November 26, 1780) and Sara (Johansdotter) Johansson (born about April 15, 1785), and were married October 20, 1810 in Dramsjo. Beata had a brother, Johan Mikkel Karlsson, born February 23, 1819. Beata married Anders Nilsson (don't know when) from Frodinge Parish. Any further info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Lee Ann Waltz

My grandmother Hilda Elizabeth Schytte, was born in 1875, in Norway. She married Carl Victor Anderson in Houghton Michigan at about 1895 to 1903. They moved to Seattle Washington in 1904. They had 5 children; Eric, born in 1904; Carl, born in 1905; Elizabeth, born in 1907; Howard, born in 1908 and Arnold, born in 1916. My aunt Elizabeth Johnson made a trip to Norway in the late 1950's or the early 1960's. She visited our relatives and was taken to the church or cathedral in Trondheim that our Schytte ancestors had quite a bit of influence. My grandmother told me that the name Schytte was carried through to the first ancestor that came to Norway and the Schytte's were the head ministers for years and years and years. The first Schytte studied Lutheranism in Germany and then traveled to Norway. If any one can remember my aunt visiting Norway 40 or 50 years ago,when you were small children or teenagers or are older now, I would appreciate it very much if you would please let me know. I am 67 years old now and I am trying finish our Family Tree soon. Thank you very much Jean Benson jbenson578@cybertrails.com 505 W Sherwood Dr Payson AZ 85541 phone-520-468-2265

Dear Todd, What a small world it really is. I was born and raised in Two Harbors, but now live south of Minneapolis in Lonsdale. My maiden name is Murphy, and I used to baby sit for some Ronning children when I was a teenager. (In Seggog). My husband is the Norwegian in our family though with a name of Baldwin, it doesn't seem like it. But there are alot of Hansons, Hovlands and Dorrs in his genealogy. I have several nationalities, but my Scandinavian ancestors are Roden from Sweden (only God knows where in Sweden), and Sorensens from Nykobing Mors, Denmark. I have had wonderful success locating them over in Denmark and finding them coming to Duluth in 1869. Christin Sorensen was a master carpenter in Denmark, as was his family. He continued that in Duluth, and I have found the house he built in East Duluth about 1875. I have great pride in his skills. It was a very interesting article about you in the paper. It is great that you are continuing in a family skill such as you are. I have seen the map of Lake Superior that is at Blackwoods in Two Harbors. It is truly a work of art. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to make that one. This summer when we were waiting to be seated, my husband and I debated how long it would take to do that. Nice to meet you, Todd. Do you know if anyone has chosen to take over the Two Harbors rootsweb.com site? Also, when did your family settle in Two Harbors? My Irish Patrick Murphy had a lumber camp up on the Drummand line in the late 1890's. My English Towers married my Danish/Swedish Grandmother in Duluth, and they settled in Two Harbors after they got married in 1908.

Yes Nancy....I am he....and it is me. I am just trying my best, to carry on some of the woodworking skills of my Norwegian ancestors, who had skills such as the makering of wooden kegs (coopers), boat-building and violin making. My great gandfather Tore Sivertsen, Fagerhaugen, Nesset, More og Romsdal was well known for his skills in craftsmanship and otherwise. Most notably he was a magician with iron and other metals. He also was a "dokumentskrivar" - that is probably writing down official documents. Ironic that I found my own niche, and then later in life, discovered through my genealogy searching that I come from a line of ancestors who were craftsman. You yourself must be a Northern Minnesotan, to have seen the Lake County Chronicle??? Where from?

News from GEDCOMP. GEDCOMP is a 37 months old database for genealogists researching Danes. Submit a GEDCOM-file with information about the Danes you have interest in and you will receive E-mails with contact information on other genealogists researching those same persons. As of today GEDCOMP consists of 750 GEDCOM-files with information of a total of 1.271.000 persons. The 750 GEDCOM-files are submitted by genealogists in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, USA, Canada, Australia & Argentina. The observed frequency of success by submitting a GEDCOM-file with X persons: X Frequency Least Most % 3462 38371 100 1743 3461 100 1192 1742 100 875 1191 100 639 874 99 442 638 93 270 441 91 170 269 82 88 169 65 1 87 46 The table has been constructed as follows: The until now submitted GEDCOM-files are sorted according to the number of persons in each file and then put into 10 groups each containing the same number of GEDCOM-files. The %-age in each group is the fraction of files in this group where the submitter has received at least one E-mail with contact information on another genealogist. In fact, all submitters of files with information on at least 766 Danes have received one or more E-mails with contact information on other genealogists overlapping their research. Caveat: GEDCOM-files with 1000+ persons of which only about 100 are Danes do not have a 100% rate of success, but 'merely' about a 65% rate of success. For more information on GEDCOMP go to http://www.lklundin.dk/~gedcomp/ Best regards, Lars Kr. Lundin gedcomp@lklundin.dk

Hello Todd, Are you the same Todd Ronning who is featured in the Two Harbors Chronicle this week? Do you really do all of that plotting of Lake bottoms and then transfer them to wood? Fascinating! Maybe it is not you? Nancy

Not related? Carl XVI Gustaf is not a direct male-line descendant of Gustav Vasa, if that is what you mean. But they are related through several lines! One line is like this: Gustav I (1497-1560) -> Karl IX (1550-1611) -> Katharina (1584-1683); m. Johann Kasimir of Zweibrücken -> Christina Magdalena (1616-1662); m.

Hi, I was using the online archive at http://www.farkiv.ol.no/ a few weeks ago with no problems at all. It is a wonderful site that is just full of great information. Now when I try to go to http://www.farkiv.ol.no/ I get a window that asks for username and password. What happened? I can't even get close enough to the site to find out how to get a username and password. I was working on information from Dovre and Lesja in Oppland. Does anyone have any advice for me?

I can't seem to find what happened to Petter Hansen Paulseth. He is listed with his family in the 1900 census at that time residing at Midtbostuen farm, Vestre Toten. Petter was was born 1888 Paulseth. His father was Hans Henriksen and his mother was Lina Olsdatter. Hans Henriksen died 1929 at Holen, Toten. Petter's brother, Ole Hansen, took over the Holen farm.
