That helps out a lot. I can strike this Kari off the list. Floyds Knobs, Indiana. I live just south of Louisville, Kentucky in Spencer County Kentucky. I am a native of Fern Creek, Jefferson, Kentucky. We moved out to Taylorsville Lake area around 1990. My wife spent part of her time in Borden, Indiana and still has two sisters that live in Borden and Salem, Indiana, but is a native of Spencer County Kentucky. My fathers side of the family is Norwegian and Swedish. My came from places like Gausdal, Oppland, Norway, Rakkestad, Ostfold, Norway and Steinjker, Nord Trondelag, Norway. The Swedish connection is from Kiaby, Kristianstad, Sweden. What I am trying to do is find all of the Branden Farms that are in Norway and see where she is from there. The story lines that have been given to me suggested that she might have come from Gran Parish. But we will see when the Parish Records go online. The name that was given to me was Kari Hansdatter Branden. Take care, Jeff ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
