I am trying to find out more information about my Norwegian ancestors. The information I have is: Last name is *Gronwold* --- I have been told that it probably was *Gronvold* I'll use the Americanized version. Wesley Rasmus Gronwold -- born 1/12/1887 in Chicago, Illinois -- married Sarah Elizabeth Taraldsen on 6/24/1908 in Chicago, Illinois -- died 6/6/1914 in Chicago, Illinois cause pulmonary tuberculosis -- buried 6/10/1914 Mount Olive cemetery, Chicago, Illinois Now for the data that I've been trying to find, any information will be appreciated. I will give you what I know and maybe someone can help fill in the blanks. Wesley's parents are Hans M. Gronwold and Josephine A. Hansen -- married 9/25/1881 in Chicago, Illinois -- it was a double wedding ceremony with Josephine's sister(twin sister?? name unknown) and Han's best friend Olaf Olson. Golden wedding anniversary celebrated by both couples family and friends in Chicago Illinois. ( I have the original poem written for the occasion, if anyone is interested I could post it or email it) -- Hans was born in Dramen, Norway 10/22/1857?? info from death certificate Han's parents were Christian Gronwold and Camilla ?? no information both parents were born and died in Dramen Norway? no information -- Hans came to America 1879-1881 ?? just a guess -- Was a carpenter for 55yrs quit working 1 month before he died on 3/9/1933 -- buried Mount Olive cemetery, Chicago, Illinois -- Josephine Hansen was born in Dramen, Norway on 11/11/1859 ? information from death certificate -- Cannot find information on her parents -- Cannot find information on when she came to America 1879-1881 ?? just a guess -- Josephine died 5/13/1942 in Chicago, Illinois -- buried Mount Olive cemetery, Chicago, Illinois I hope this isn't too long sometimes it's hard to stop adding information i'm just hoping to get some information or direction. thanks, Duane W.
