I thought I had found a missing marriage in Kvæfjprd i Troms, but instead of being numbered in order it has a "0", and there is a note in the far right column that I do not understand. My limited knowledge of Norwegian and my dictionary don't always help when abbreviations are included. It is the top entry on this page dated 14/4 (1923), and the groom is Steffen Marius Stefansen.

Lars, I am planning to go to National Archives tomorrow (May 16). I can have some Civil War pension records pulled and often they have more information in them than what we find on line. Please make me a detailed list of who you want searched and I will try. You can send it to me off-list. Carol, grandaughter of Anna from Kjerringnes.

Dear Sarah, Jerry and other Listers! Thank you very much for your quick replies in regard to the Christen Olson Dahl family. From the information that you Sarah found on him, I agree that it doesn’t quite sound like the man I am looking for. However, I guess he would have arrived just in time for enlisting in the Army in August of 1864, and we do know the enlisting soldiers didn’t always tell the truth about their age or marital status…! Theoretically Christen COULD have left his wife and children, for example o=in Chicago, IL, to enter the Army and so to say to «start a new life»?. We all should have in mind the recently discussed Herman Johaneson from Hafslo who in 1861 «escaped» from his pregnant wife in Norway and enlisted that same fall in Milwaukee, WI pretending he was about five years younger than he really was! And he remarried in 1864 without ever officially divorcing his wife!! For this reason, it MIGHT be worthwhile trying to follow up on this Christian Olson alias Christian Olson Dahl. Does it say where he resided when he enlisted? And what happened to him? If he did die in 1909, where did he die? Thanks again for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Dear Listers! I have just become aware of anther «blank» inn my manuscript and was wondering: Can someone please help me find an obituary for this lady: * Mildred Pearl Severson, nee Brown, who died at Rochester, NY Feb. 28, 1986? Thanks a million for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane

1) Start fresh with a new email, not a reply to someone else's.  List the full name and location of your grandfather in the Subject line, or his dates of birth and death. 2) List full name, (assumed) date of birth without the birth certificate (include the state, name of Reservation, if known), date of marriage, name of spouse and info about spouse, date and location of death.  Let us know if you have the documents to prove the marriage and death; some of the information you seek may be on those documents.  Depending on the era and the state, there is often a section to list the parents' names and locations of birth for each (sometimes correct if a family member gave the info on the deceased).  Check the birth/death information on the parent of the grandfather you are looking for, see if the full names and location(s) of birth, or at least current residence(s), of the father and mother are listed, and check the name of the spouse, if known, since that name should also be listed. 3) Have you checked census data to see what is listed for your grandfather, his parents?  I've sometimes gone back two or three generations just on census data alone, before finding the birth, marriage, death information.  Have you found your grandfather in the Find-A-Grave index if you know where he died and/or is buried?  Do you have obituary information? 4) We may be able to help you..., depending on how much documented information you have and list.

Hello, I have been trying to find my father's birth certificate for about 20 years with no luck. I have found out my biological grandmother may have been Indian. I have been thinking maybe my father was born on an Indian Reservation...is this something you could help with? Thank you, Freda Dahlberg Schurr

Lars, Christian Olson Dahl was in Company I of the Wisconsin 8thInfantry.  The card below him is forPeter B. Dahl who was in Company D of the Wisconsin 2nd Infantry. This Christian Oleson enrolled on August 22,1864 and mustered out August 15, 1865.  Idon’t think he is who you are looking for since he was unmarried and age 33 in1864. Your Christian Olson Dahl would have been ca. 41 years of age and married. Sarah Thorson Little On Sunday, May 13, 2018, 2:45:29 PM PDT, Lars E. Oyane <lars.e.oyane@sdsl.no> wrote: Dear Listers!

Are you ready for another «challenge» in Minnesota, or wherever this family ended up? Ingeborg Andersdotter Raaum, born in Jostedal, Luster Co., Norway Jan. 8, 1848, emigrated in 1901 from Sogndal and married at Sebeka, Wadena Co., MN Nov. 11, 1903 to a widower, Nels Peter Nordvall, born in Borgsjo, Sweden May 21, 1851. They farmed in Rockwood township near Sebeka, Wadena Co., MN where Nels died Apr. 16, 1924. Ingeborg survived him, but completely DISAPPEARS. I find her nowhere in 1930 or 1940, and she is not in the MNDI. I should mention she did have a son while still unmarried in Norway: * Anders Andersson aka Andrew A. Raaum, born in Luster Co., Norway Sep. 4, 1869, emigrated with his grandmother in 1883 to Buffalo Co., WI, but later lived for a while in Lac qui parle Co., MN as well as in Norway township, Roberts Co., SD where he purchased land in 1901. Then he also DISAPPEARS. Any suggestions as to what became of mother and son in the US (or Canada) would be more than welcome! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
