The oldest family member was my 4th great grandfather Hans Halvorsen-Bjornerud (1781-1867). His oldest son Ole Hansen-Bjornerud (1805-1889) was my 3rd great grandfather. Ole's oldest son Hans Olsen-Bjornerud (1839-?) was my 2nd great grandfather. My 5th great grandparents came into possession of this farm when my 5th great grandmother Marte Nielsdatter-Schattum married Johan Michelsen-Bjornerud in 1764. Johan died in Jan 1774, and Marte married Halvor Olsen-Sivesind nine months later. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
