Surnames: Hvam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RJB.2ACI/251.2.1 Message Board Post: I have been working with Lee Meade concerning the Hvam lineage. Otto Gothard Hvam (a/k/a Gustav Hvam) was my grandfather. Do you happen to know anything about one of Gustav's children (Sammy) who died at birth? Sammy was born to Gustav and Laura Dahl in approximately 1910 as my mother was 2 when her mother died at childbirth which would have made it 1910 when Sammy was born. I don't know where Sammy was born. We thought perhaps South Dakota since most of our other relatives were born there. Thanks for your help.

Rose, Member of the Minnesota Historical Society Publisher: Northern History Publishing Company, Luverne, MN 1911 P. 573, The date in parens is when he came to the county. Nels Rogness (1883) has spent his entire life as a resident of Rock county. He is the son of Andrew J. and Sarrah (Sundem) Rogness, natives of Norway whose residence in America began at an early date. They were among the early settlers of Decorah, Iowa, and came with the vanguard of pioneers to Rock county. The father, who died March 2, 1894 took as his homestead the southeast quarter of section 9, Martin township. Nels of this review is the sixth in a family of seven children, five boys and two girls, as follows: Raudine, who died October 12, 1891; Julius, whose death occurred October 30, 1908, Knute, of Minneapolis; Gulick, of Hills; Henry, Nels and Minnie. Nels was born on the old homestead August 27, 1883. The education received in the district schools was supplemented by a course in the Minnesota School of Business in Minneapolis and a year spent at the Northwestern Conservatory of Music in the same city. From his early childhood he has been a talented musician a! nd has won more than local distinction in that art. Some of his work in musical composition has been very favorably received. At the present time he devotes a large share of his time to teaching music. He is the director of a local orchestra and the agent for Behr Bros.’ pianos. As an agriculturist he has also been successful. With his brother Henry he is engaged in farming the parental farm. He is the owner of 120 acres of Pipestone county land. Mr. Rogness is a member of the Synod Norwegian Lutheran church.
