This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Halverson, Halvorson etc. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FRh.2ACIB/167.2 Message Board Post: More information now: My Grandparents names: George Halverson and Anna Alfson I'm going to list the information I have as I received it from my mother and maybe some of the entries will make sense to someone here. My Father: Clifford Halverson His Siblings: Lloyd, Edwin, George, Obert, Melvin (no children), Irene (Folwick)Halverson, Richard, Myrtle, Ernie, Tilda Some were/are in Canada and/or Roseau, MN. Halverson/Halvorson Cousins: Eileen (Irene), Delmaine, Romaine (George), Harlan. Two Families of Double Cousins:2 of my fathers brothers married 2 of my mothers sisters Children of Obert Halverson & Mabel Folden: Harry, Gaylord, Carl, Ann, Kenneth, Doris, Jerome, Norma Children of Lloyd Halverson & Gudrun Folden: Betty (Lien) Halvorson, Sharon (Bates) Halvorson, Lloyd Jr., DuWayne, Robert-deceased. The next 2 names I don't k now where they fall as she didn't list the information. Dawn (Busby) Halorson, Mary Ronald. My Mother: Aslaug Swanhild Folden Her Parents: Martin Folden & Marie Bartness she had listed: Her Grandparents: Peter Folden & Christina ? Folden Siblings the #'s are the children they apparently had: Einar(3), Norman(1), Doris(0?), Adolph(5), Haakon(11), Fritz(5-8?), Gudrun(Halvorson)Folden, Clara (Hyde) Folden (5-8?), Morgan(3), Sigured(?), Harold(1), Astrid(Moran)Folden, Oscar(2), Mabel. Folden Cousins: Carol (Okke) Folden, Wayne, Judy(Johnson)Folden, Jeffrey, Barbara(Stine)Folden. Listed next could be the Folden Cousins children she didn't make any notation and of course there are repeat names in here they are not errors that I know of. I went from the letter she wrote me: Grace, Richard, Joyce, Lorraine, MaryAnn, Marilyn, David, Marie, Veronica, Betty, David, Doris, Sigurd, Janice, Dorothy, Ruby, Jimmy, Margaret, Janet, Ann, Edward, Marie, Kermit, Doris, Lucille, Grace, Gladys, Rose, Dorothy, Marie, Walter, Morris, Mildred, Marion, Joanne, Bruce, Cheryl, Tammy. Now I would like to say that I was adopted and found my family as a young adult. My father Clifford and my mother Aslaug are my birthparents whom I got to know much later in life. I'm in contact with my siblings and will list those at a later date. My birthname was Janice Laverne Halverson. I was told by my birthmother that the reason there were double cousins is they didn't believe in marrying outside of their Norwegian heritage. Well, I hope this helps you and that I learn more about my family going back to Trondhiem, Norway. I'm sorry the listing is so long here. Take care and feel free to email me at trinitysite1@yahoo if you would like to share any information you have and we can help each other. Sincerely, Jackie Clift
