Dear Listers! A brother of Edward Anderson (1877-1941) of Mower Co., MN and Arapahoe Co., CO also gives me considerable "head ache": Herbert Norman ANDERSON (christened as Herbert Andrew Anderson!) son of Erick Anderson (Sweden) and Ollegaard "Olga" Pederson (Norway) parents always residing in the city of Austin, Mower Co., MN was born June 10, 1887 in Mower Co., MN was in 1917 (WW1 draft) a single painter a Mason City, Cerro Gordo Co., IA was in 1920 (census) a single restaurant cook in Austin, Mower Co., MN was in 1930 (census) a prisoner at the Mower Co., MN jail in Austin, Mower Co., MN According to family (descending from siblings of Herbert's in Austin, MN Herbert went "in and out" of St. Peter State Hospital, but one of the Anderson brothers shall have ended up as a bus driver for the Jeffers(on) bus line in Alabama, and since Edward apparently was in Colorado, it must have been Herbert who drove the bus(?), and maybe he was also a turkey rancher at Ft. Morgan, Morgan Co., CO!?? Relatives in MN believe he never married, and they are pretty sure he died before 1940!? I have been unable to find this gentleman in any records after 1930! Could there be newspaper notices on him due to his "jail visit" in 1930? Any suggestions, as far as Herbert N. Anderson's destiny is concerned, will be more than welcome! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Dear Listers, I continued searching for Edward Anderson after I posted this inquiry, and I have discovered that he, although he was christened as Edward Lewis and also went by that name at the time of the WW1 draft registration in 1918, he is listed with his parents in the 1905 census as Eddie M. Anderson! And Edward M. Anderson, a carpenter, born in MN 1877 (with parents born Norway/Sweden), was married at Englewood, Arapahoe Co., CO on Apr. 3, 1923 to Pearl Zell Tucker, born in Tompkins Co., NY Apr. 27, 1894, and they resided 1930 and 1940 at Englewood, CO where Edward died Apr. 9, 1941. He was survived by Pearl and was buried in the Littleton, CO cemetery! One of the brothers in this family, it mus have been either Edward or Herbert (see separate inquiry which follows...), is said to have been a turkey rancher at Ft. Morgan, Morgan Co., CO, so maybe he lived there for a while as well? Unless that was Herbert? This finding solves most of my problem regarding Edward, BUT I still need some help to find: * Perhaps an OBITUARY for Edward Anderson? * What happened to Pearl AFTER Edward died - a newspaper notice of a remarriage or other info? Thanks again for your wonderful assistance in this mater! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On May 25, 2015, at 4:58 PM, Lars E.

Dear Listers! Some time we run across people in the US with an unusual story, and this is definitely one of them: Edward Lewis ANDERSON, oldest son of Erick Anderson (Sweden) and Ollegaard "Olga" Pederson (Norway) residing in the city of Austin, Mower Co., MN was born Mar. 11, 1877 in Mower Co., MN MAY in 1910 have been a single soldier residing on the Philippines(?) was in 1918 (WW1 draft) a single farm laborer at Forman, Sargent Co., ND was in 1923 (when mother died) a resident of Pierpont, Day Co., SD According to family (descending from siblings of Edward's in Austin, MN Edward later became a bus driver for "the Jeffers bus line" in Alabama!

Here is the link to Trinity Lutheran in Brainerd. They have a booklet, in PDF format on the history of the church. http://www.trinitybrainerd.org/historyoftrinity.htm http://www.trinitybrainerd.org/Trinity_History.pdf

They were married at Trinity Lutheran in Brainerd MN, on 2 Oct 1935. Ancestry has the scans of hundreds of Lutheran churches. They just added these to their collection in mid-April. I searched thru the Trinity records, and didn't find any confirmation for any the Pelto children. I also ran their names thru the searchable database for these records (which isn't complete). The only thing I did find is Doris Pelto's marriage to Harry B Olson on 11 Nov 1936. George and Anna L were witnesses at that wedding, but Anna's middle name isn't given, just the initial L.

Edvard Severin Sandberg Pedersen, born 29 April 1855 to Peder Henrik Andreassen of Øvrevalle (born 24 May 1801, died before 1875 at sea) and Marie Sophie Olsdatter of Stokvig (born 28 September 1829, married 28 December 1848 in Flakstad Church, died around 1900 at Marken). She became a Guds Menighet and her death date doesn't seem to be available, for the same reasons as Edvard's death date. Sara Jörgine Samuelsdatter, born 7 June 1858 at Indresand, to Else Marie Mortensdatter of Indresand (born 27 June 1835, Indresand, married 30 October 1860 , I could find no date of death), and Samuel Andersen (described elsewhere as Samuel Bugge Grøn Anderssen) of Nesland (born 14 July 1835, Nesland?, died 21 May 1924, place unknown). Sara's paternal grandparents were Anders Andreas Andersen and Anne Kirstine Abrahamsdatter. Her maternal grandparents were Morten Knudsen (born 1798, Straume?, married 27 December 1828, died 25 February 1869) and Kristine Hartvigsdatter (born 1799 in Berg, Hol, Vesvågøy, death unknown). Kristine Hatvigsdatter was of the Rist family, born to Hartvig Johannesen Rist. Edvard and Sara lived at his mother's Marken farm. After Sara's death from tuberculosis, he emigrated to Inwood, Manitoba, Canada, bringing his two children over the following year. There he homesteaded, and retired to the Inwood village. In either 1946 or 1947, he decided to return to the Lofotens. From a distant relative I learned that the family story of him tripping while getting off his ship and breaking a hip (?) was true. He was hospitalized on the Lofotens and then placed in a Care Home until his death. Senior members of the Guds Menighet visited him, apparently, a number of times. He was buried near Sara in the Guds Menighet cemetery at Fredvang. (a GM member there kindly sent me the photographs of their gravesites). I have most of the records for the above from the Flakstad Churchbooks. But nothing except anecdotal information on Edvard's death. (perhaps the problem with obtaining that record is this : I corresponded with a person at the GM School who was attempting to put together a history of the Guds Menighet and I provided him with information on the group in Inwood and Eugene. For some reason, I was contacted by a Norwegian company who were working on a documentary of the GM but I responded that I could not help them with anything but the North American experience and was not further contacted. I have been told that there were issues explored at various times by the media and, just perhaps, the Fredvang contacts might have considered I had supplied the Norwegian company with information and, therefore, no longer wished to communicate with me. If so, that is an extreme pity since so many of my family members and friends' relatives over here were strong Guds Menighet members. Since losing contact, I have so much more information on the North American experience and I'd love to share it with the archivist. But this is only a supposition. ) Thanks for your help.

Dear Listers, I just received the following inquiry from a friend in Madison, WI, and I am sure some of you will be able to answer it for me: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I stopped by the Genealogical Center and Library and talked to them about general coffee-table style books about Norway. They searched and realized they had nothing like that in the library, but thought they should have some on hand- especially for visitors who may be planning a trip to Norway. They asked me to let them know if I found a good one. So far, I bought a used book on Amazon for $5, and the book has some great pictures, but not much for narrative, or history. So, I’m still looking. The best example I have of the perfect book, is a copy of a book by the National Geographic of the British Isles. It’s a large book of about 400 pages, sectioned off by country and county, with historical and contemporary notes and stories throughout. And, of course, the pictures are wonderful. Unfortunately, the NG hasn’t done one for Norway, yet. Do you know of any books that would fit the bill – especially in English?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ As an old bookstore owner in Bergen, Norway I should know the answer to this question myself, but I sold my store almost 20 years ago, and I haven't kept up with he literature that has since appeared and is now available on the topic. Thanks a million in advance for any suggestions I can get in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

the 1930 census records show that Ann was born in Minnesota, and had two sisters, Doris age 15 and Mary age 25. According to the church records, Doris was a witness at Ann's wedding. Maybe you could track down her sisters, and get some information that way.

Lars, I have a former co-worker who is a Pelto, so I checked with him, just on the chance that he might be related to this Ann L. Pelto.  But unfortunately they are not related as far as he knows. Other searches I have tried on this have not turned up anything useful that you don't already have, either. Greg Holter From: Lars E.
