Hi Sandy, I think you are going to have to wait until the Østre Toten Church books for that period come online to go any farther so you can make sure you are following the correct family. All of us are patiently/impatiently waiting for the books for different areas to show up.

Rasmus Pedersen Nerset, born 26 Feb 1816, was married to Agnete Pedersdater born 21 Feb 1818, were married 11 November 1839. They sailed on the Edde from Christiana in 1873 arriving in Quebec 4 July with two children: Marethea (17) and Birthe (11) with a destination of Beloit. Later (?) they moved to Orrock, Minnesota where they died. I know some of Agnete's Norwegian family in Norway but do not know Rasmus Pedersen. I am seeking that background on names and places. We plan a Norway trip in 2008 or 9 and would like to look up family on the Pedersen side. I do have relatives in Eidskog Norway and Sunnidal, Norway. Maybe someone has researched this family, written a portion of their history or know of such. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me to shed more light on his family ties in Norway., Sheldon Hermanson

He married Berthe Maria JOHANNESDATTER, born 1816, lived in Myrstuen, Norway, married 23 Jan 1846. They had 5 children I believe to this marriage: (1) Johanna PEDERSDATTER, b. 1842; (2) Christian PEDERSON, b. ?; (3) Emil PEDERSON (my great grandfather), b. 1850, Gjestrumbakken, Vestre Toten, Oppland, Norway; (4) Peder Anton PEDERSON, b. 1853; (5) Mathea, b. 1855. This family immigrated to US around 1871 and settled in Spink, Union, South Dakota. Looking for a possible marriage certificate of Peder & Johanna, birth records of all the children (all born in Norway), was Peder or Johanna in a previous marriage? As you can see at least 1 person (Johanna) was born before they were married, so I was wondering if Peder or Berthe was in a previous marriage. If anyone could help me find what I am looking for I would surely appreciate it. Thank you very much. If sending me a personal email use this: [email protected] Leah Hubbard

Ola Nelson B. married Gonnor then Eli Jonsdatter and had Ole Oleson Brathovde 1811, your JOHN 1823, Nels Olson 1833 and possibly a Kristen Olson 1905 who went to Oslo. Ola's brother, Morten Nelson had my great-great grama Matti. If you want to email me, I can get you a copy of the chart I drew up. [email protected] A lot of the Brathovdes came over to New Hope.

Hi Peter, With the new message boards, there is no way to find out who made the original post. That is why I changed my user name on the site to my name margitnysetvoldbakke and I notice others have done the same. I usually always sign my posts, unless I forget. I do not like the set up of the message boards now and rarely use them because I do not know who I am speaking with. I would suggest you leave a message on the board to the original post with your email address to have them contact you. This is the original post from 2005 from a Linda Price it appears: Johannes Anstensen-Karen Ellertsdatter Biri 1870 Immigration lprice221 (View posts) Posted: 7 Feb 2005 10:44AM GMT Classification: Query Surnames: Anstensen Ellertsdatter Pedersen Johannesen Johannes and Karen are my gg grandparents.
