Hi Brian, I have a Hans Olsen Egge (Eggebraten) in my line, but he was born in 1750 and I haven't been able to trace him back any father. Maybe you can for me? He married Eline Pedersdtr. Egge and her father was Peder Joensen Egge born 1734. Their son was Peder Hansen, born on Egge in 1788 and married Ingebor Jensdtr. Egge, whose father was Jens Iversen Egge born 1767. Then Peder married a second time to my Aunt, a Kjos. Confusing, is it not? Peder immigrated and went by Peder Ruen, but his second wife died on the trip over here. Their many children were mostly here already. Knut Andersen and Karen Nielsdatter (Aschim) Kjos are my grandparents, did you mean they are yours too?
