Surnames: Grihamar, Øye, Hermundstad Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hcC.2ACE/1326.1.1.1 Message Board Post: According to the Vang, Valdres bygdebok: Guri Olsdatter was born 1798 at Grihamar to parents Ola Torsteinsson Grihamar and Ingeborg Maria Olsdatter Edsvold/Eidsvold. She was the 2nd oldest of 8 children. According to my notes, Guri and Knut had 10 children. Most immigrated between 1854 and 1855. Guri and Knut immigrated in 1855 with 3 of their younger children (so Guri wasn't a "young lady" when she immigrated). Knut was born 1793 to parents Nils Knutsson Høle (Holien) and Sigrid Knutsdatter Øye. Two of his sisters married "Turtnesses" and I think they both ended up in Iowa. (One of the Turtness brothers changed his surname to "Gordon," and lived in or near Worth County, Iowa.) Knut's father was a farmer at Øye before they moved to Hermundstad in 1800, so Knut was most likely born at Øye in Vang. Knut took over Hermundstad after his father, but sold the farm in 1839 to my gg grandmother's sister and her husband. They lived there for about 4 years, until they sold the farm to one of Knut and Guri's sons (Ole Knutsson Hermundstad; he eventually immigrated in 1854). Hope this helps!

The Tingelstad New Church started being used in 1866, so that's a definite possibility. The sister churches were also used at that time, but in 1867 only the Nicolai Church was used for services, baptisms, etc. The Maria Church had burned in 1813. A new roof was finished in 1865, but the church was only used for storing coffins.

I have noe evidence, only circumstantial. 1. I have never heard any mentioning of a farm or place called Grufter in Sør Fron 2. Pronounced and written, Graffer/Grufter is not too far apart. 3. There is only one Graffer farm in Sør Fron, The same farm name can also be found in Lom. 4. In the year 1322 the farm name is written Grafyriu. In the 1801 Census it is listed that Graffer has 4 tenant farmers(Husmenn), Peder Hansen could be one of them. In the1865 Census this number was reduced to one, namely Grafferhaugen. This one and the other 3 are long disappeared. Some history: Graffer is supposed to be very old. The meaning of the name Graffer is not known. There is one old burial Mound on the farm, and old tools and veapons dated back to approx year .500 have been found there. The farm Graffer was the property of Sør Fron rectory until it became the headquarters for the military Commanders of Fronske Company in1808. Many military Commanders stayed there between 1808 and 1878. Most of them in the rank of Captains. The genealogy of the Farm until 1808 is very unclear. All this information is collected from Hovdhaugen: Gardar og slekter i Fron.

He married Mari Knutsdatter (b. abt 1821 in > Flagastad, Lesja, Oppland) in about 1845 in Lesja. I believe that this is Mari's babtism: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=25024 I find this marriage record from Lesja: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Ekteviede&Post=5226 This record confirms the data below regarding Peder. The age and names for Mari also fits. > He immigrated to > Wisconsin before 1850. Peder/Peter was known in the U.S. as Peter Ondell. You say "he emigrated", does that indicate that he came to the US alone? On searching for a possible emigration record, I stumbled upon a record which seem to indicate that Mari moved to Levanger in Nord-Trøndelag as a servant when she was 16. Look at this: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Utflyttede&Post=1051 So, it would seem that she came back to Lesja to marry, or maybe she just did not leave after all. Wonder where she met Peder, Levanger is north while Sel is to the south. And from the record showing Peder moving to Lesja he seem to have come from Sel. Maybe you can look at that puzzle? In 1817, I find the following, and since the farm name is right, I guess this is your Peder: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=39278 This lists his birth to the 31st of August 1817, and his baptism to the 14th of 1817. The links are the digitised parish records for Vågå. The church is listed as Sel. You can also see the name of the parents, and the witnesses for the baptism. I have found the record which states that Peder is moving to Lesja: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Innflyttede&Post=259 If you look at the text in the bottom, it translates: To be married to the maiden Marith Præsteflagestad. Here the name is Marith and not Mari. In order to check that there was no other couple to choose from I looked up the following: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/nres.asp?PT=Ekteviede&Prgjeld=LES&Aar=&Pm=0&Fornavn=Peder&Farsnavn=Pedersen&Bosted= and found that there is no other couple which match. > > He may have had a brother, John/Johan (Andreas?) Pedersen Aandahl that > lived in Christiansund prior to 1847, when he married Johanna Maria > Johanasdetter Lokke on november 16, 1847 in Trondheim. I believe that this Gulbrand Pedersen can be a brother of Peder: http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=38965 And it would also seem that this Johannes is a brother. Could perhaps be your John/Johan? http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=40104 Now, it may appear as your Peder has a brother that go by the same name but born in 1826. The names of the parents seem to fit. http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=40629 You should look more closely at these possible siblings before concluding anything. > > I am willing to share the extensive information on these people after > about 1850-60 in the U.S, including many descendents. > > Even the smallest clue will be welcome after 15 years of hunting. > Well, if you have been hunting for this for 15 years this proves that there is no such thing as giving up. You have the information on Peder and Mari. Now saddle up and go for their parents! John Morten Malerbakken
