Nils Hansen Hamre and Brita Olsdtr Hamre were from Norway and settled in Grundy County, Illinois. They had three children Ole, Guro (Julia), and Kari. Ole stayed in Grundy county and is buried in the Saratoga Cemetary. Julia married a man with the last name Samson they had four children: Marie Volk, Nellie Shelton, Christina Almy, and Sam Samson. Kari married Andrew Jordanger and moved to Iowa, their oldest son Clarence is my grandfather. I'm looking for information on his mother's side of the family.
