Hi Karen, I took a picture of the Egge farm while in Norway in 2000 and also the Kjos farm. I did not know it was now called Eid but thought I had been told family still lived there. I go back to both Upper Kjos and the Lower one. I think that line goes back to Knut Andersson Kjos who married Kari Nilsdtr. Aschim in 1707. Maybe we are related? Do you belong to the Hadeland Lag? I have some of my material on their web page and am always looking for some one to add to it or correct it.

Hi Bette: I also have Aschim in my history, farm on which my maternal grandmother and family lived. She used Bredesen when she immigrated, her two brothers used Aschim, they live in Des Moines mostly, part in Scotsdale and Waco. The Kjos farm of which I speak is located on the Randsfjorden and my cousin (until she died about 3 years ago) had a B&B there, and it is also hear Eisdand Campground on the Randsfjorden. Perhaps it is the same farm???? There may b some confusion as my cousin (who was a Kjos) married an Eid. I have to dig out some of my old records to double check some of the names you mention. I did belong to the Hadeland Lag, but let my membership go when I moved back to Oregon, forgot to update. I also did belong to the østfold lag (my father). I have a web site of my family history lcoated http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/c/h/Karen-E-Schaustein/?Welcome=1088612373 I hope this connection works. Check out my maternal grandmother, Karen Bredesen, Hadeland part. I was also there in 2000. I stayed for a time at this farm and the one across the highway, but was also with other family in Oslo, Tønsberg and Stavanger. They say anyone who is from Hadeland is related somewhere in the back history.Let's pursue this, there probaby is a connection.
