Just thought I would add my HALVORSEN's to the Digest, also! Searching for info on the HALVORSEN surname from Rygge in Ostføld fylke. 1. Hans Anton HALVORSEN, born 1858 (?) at the farm Braaten in Rygge. (Married to Gina ANDERSDATTER Vollebraten, b. 1860 in Rade.) Father of Hans: Halvor HANSEN of Rygge. Hans HALVORSEN had sons Halvor, Andrew and Martin. Daughters Mathea (my grandmother, b. 1889 in Glemminge), Anne and Marie. Sketchy information, I know...but if anyone has any other info on these Halvorsens, I would love to swap any info I have with you! Happy hunting, Mary Ryon
