I don't see where Kragerø was ever part of anywhere but Telemark? According to FamilySearch Kragerø was separated from Bamble in 1738 - and Bamble is Telemark so... Are you having trouble finding something in particular?

Dear Listers! Do we have any experts on the Civil War among the listers? I have this problem: Christen Nitter Ludvigson Elvethun, born in Hafslo, Norway Oct. 11, 1822, was supposed to take over the home farm, but then he changed his mind and emigrated in 1860, presumably to Spring Prairie, Dane/Columbia Co., WI. The Nitter Family History Book says about him that he enlisted in the Civil War from Wisconsin, but he was killed in action in the Battle of Chickamauga, GA in Sep. of 1863. Then I have another source saying that Christen aka Christian Ludwigson enlisted in 1864, and that he died "of disease" at Madison, IN on Jan. 22, 1865. Can anyone tell me what REALLY happened to "my" Christen Nitter Ludvigson Elvethun? Thank a million in advance for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Dear Listers, Civil War soldier Christen Ludwigson also had a brother who MAY have been a soldier in the Civil War. His name was: Henrik Nitter Ludvigson Elvethun, born in Hafslo, Norway May 5, 1833. Henrik emigrated in 1855 and is 1860 found residing as a farm laborer Henry Ludwigson aged 25 at his uncle Christ Nelson (later a pioneer in Ottawa Co., KS)'s farm near Dodgeville, Iowa Co., WI. Nothing more is ever to be seen of him, and I have reason to think he may have died by 1867, since his sister named her oldest son after him that year! Thanks a million for any suggestions regarding Henrik! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

Dear Bev, Arne and other Listers! Thank you very much, Bev and Arne, for very interesting messages. I must say, "my" Christen looks very similar to the one described on the Vesterheim site, both agewise and otherwise. However, when the author of the Nitter book says he was killed at Chickamauga, GA, he must have a source for that information!? Could there have been a man with a similar name among the victims at Chickamauga at all? Maybe some Civil War "expert" can confirm, or disconfirm, this? Another question is this: While Vesterheim refers to him dying in Madison, WI, the American Civil War Research Dsatabase referred to by Arne gives Madison, IN as the place of death. Now, Madison, IN is the County Seat of Jefferson Co., IN in the very southeast corner of that state. Maybe Christian had arrived there escaping from battles across the river in Kentucky? An interesting piece of history... Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Interesting. My 4th great grandparents, Thorer Solberg and Mossi Schach were from Skedsmo. Their son moved east to the Sørum Parish, married 2 sisters from the Moe farm, and his son moved to the Norum farm, where my great grandfather was born and our surname is from. He, in turn, married a woman from the Hole Parish in the Ringerike, thus my connection to that area of Norway.

Dear Listers, Can someone please help me with these lookups from Iowa newspapers: The Fort Dodge, IA Newspaper Index shows that: The Northwest Chronicle of June 24, 1885 on page 3 has a mention of the death of one Anna (Mrs. Ole) LEWIS. The Northwest Chronicle of Jan. 27, 1886 on page 4 and again on Feb. 3, 1886 on page 1 has a mention of an injury of Christopher LEWIS. The first one of these is particularly interesting since the Mrs. Ole (Anna) Lewis whom I know from Webster Co., IA, divorced her Ole about 1883 and moved to Stoughton, WI where she died in 1898!!

Dear Deanna and other Listers! Thank you very much, Deanna, for sending me the report on George Hunt from find-a-grave.

I am inheriting my great grandfather's photo album from the 1880's in Oslo. We have scanned the pictures in it already but now I will be getting the original album and the photos now or to come later. They have no identification on them except for saying they were taken in Christiania. Is there a site anywhere online where you can post pictures to folks in Norway to see if someone might recognize these people. Thanks for your help. Barbara, Flushing, NY
