Margit, thanks for the information on Fodstads in Ostre Toten. According to the 1865 norway census Peter (peder)Nandrup Fodstad was born in 1861 in Toten. If I am reading the census right, his father was Augustinus Fodstad born in 1835 in Toten. His mother may have been Petra Fodstad*f Jakobsen, born in 1840 in Stange. It looks like he had 2 sisters, Karoline Petrine Augusta, born 1863 in Toten, and Klara Albertine born 1865 in Chritiania. In the 1875 census for the munincipality of Trondheim, Mollenberg street, Town quarter 21, It shows Augustinus Casper as the father, Anna Sophia as the wife, Petter Nandrup, Karoline, Petra Amalie born 1867, Jens born 1874, and maybe a son Christian born 1875. Is Anna a 2nd wife? did Klara die? In the USA he was known as Peter N Fodstad. In the 1910 Minnesota census he listed the year 1881 as his year of immigration. He was married to Othelia Hammer, who also came here in 1881. However, they were listed as being married 28 yrs in this census, which would have made the married in 1882, after they came here. All 9 children were born here in Minneapolis. how do I find which farm they lived at? How do I find their parish in norway? also, where did people leave from to come to America? thanks again, debbie _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Debbie, I'm not sure how I got your E-mail about Peter. I did check my Østre Toten map and found that the Fostad farm is less than a Km south of the Hof Church and about 2 1/2 Km east of Lena debbie langner wrote: > Margit, > > thanks for the information on Fodstads in Ostre Toten.
