Greg, With the family names, someone has found this particular family. It is good to know that they are not unique, which means that other Fatland families lived in Norway to emigrate later. So Steve's friend named Fatland is probably not directly related to my great aunt's husband. Thanks for checking that 1865 census!

As far as I know there are several farms on the west coast of Norway called Fatland. Some more information about the grandparents would help!

Steve, Depending on their family situations, some 36 year olds did get drafted in WW I. They certainly filled out draft cards, so you can search for that if nothing else. The records of the Veterans' home should be available too.

Cliff et al. I agree, Fatland's not a common name. Going back far enough, they may all be related, unlike my Norwegian Johnsons. Looks to me like the only person in either of your emails who is old enough to be of the immigrant generation is Engaborg Fatland, 87, in the 1940 census. The problem is that you have her last name as Flatness, not the same as Fatland. Did you mean to type Fatland? One of Hans and Dorothea's sons, Peter, was married to an Ingeborg, among his three wives, but divorced her. I have, however, that she died in 1923, in Clay Co. MN. And I don't know which of Peter's children came from which wife, as I don't know when he married which one, and when the divorce and death of the others came. Since the Fatlands were in-laws of my great aunt, I did not trace them very far, I admit. I last researched them in 2011, and the 1940 census wasn't available then. But I don't think the descendants you've found are related to "my" Fatlands. Hans and Dorothea had sons Peter (1850-1919) Andrew (1852-1877) Hans (1855-1925) Evan (1860-1931) John (1862-1939) *Ole (1865-1936) m Bertha Harrison, my g aunt Amund (1870-1877) Only Peter, Hans, Evan, John, and Ole married and could have left US descendants. Ole had four girls. All of them married brothers named Halden; I don't know much about them, but I presume they were Norwegian, or at least Scandinavian. That part of ND was heavily Scandinavian in the 1930s and 1940s, when these marriages took place. At any rate, the Fatland name disappeared in this branch of the family.

Steve, My grandfather's sister married a Fatland, who was an immigrant from Norway. I have his immigrant record, which I got through Ancestry, but it's incomplete. It has the parish, but not the county. I have the Fatland name back to Peter Hansen Lilieinskiold Fatland, 1784-1863, born and died in Norway. Not much help! One of his sons, Hans Anderson (Kjeka) Fatland, born in Norway in 1824, married twice. The first time was to an Oline Abrahamsdattar, in 1842; she died in 1844, after giving birth to a daughter Oline. He remarried in Fjelberg Parish,,Norway, 1849 to Dorothea Marie Pettersdatter Lilieinskiold, b. 1827 in Norway, d. 1909 in Norway. Unfortunately, the adjacent commas mean I do NOT know the county/flyke the couple were married in. And all this information comes from Ancestry family trees. The repetition of the name Lilienskold seems significant, but I'm not sure how. It would indicate, maybe, that Peter maybe married a neice? Or at least if that's a farm name, perhaps both he and his second wife lived on the same farm. What I have that is a more firm information comes from a passenger list on Ancestry. In 1875, Hans and Dorothea Fatland and a long string of children emigrated from Norway. I don't remember the port they left from, but they were in Liverpool on their way to America. There Hans died--he was not a young man. Dorothea and the children went on, though eventually she returned to Norway, dying there in 1909. Ten Fatland children were b. between 1849 and 1870, so some were still small when they emigrated. Some ended up in ND. One of the younger ones was Ole H. Fatland, b. 1865 in Fjelberg,,Norway--note that again I don't know the county in Norway, but it's the same parish as where his parents were married long before. He married Bertha Harrison. While her name sounds English, she had originally been Birgitte Henriksen, b. 1879 in Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway, emigrated with her family in 1890. Bertha was sister to my maternal grandfather.

He was a farmer and preacher. His siblings lived mostly in ND, a few in MN. One interesting story about Bertha and 3 of their 4 daughters (they had no sons) is that during WW II, while the daughters were young and unmarried, and times were bad in ND, Bertha and the three girls came to Seattle, where there was lots of war work.

Hi, I ate with a friend of my brother’s tonight by the name of Fatland. I’ve know his father and grandfather all my life, and never had a clue that his family is Norwegian. I told him I would put out a question to the group to see if anyone can give him any hints about where his ancestors came from or whether there are any Fatlands still in Norway. His understanding is the his great-great-grandfather came from Noway to MN and then lived in IA before they came to SD. Thanks!

Hi, I ate supper with a friend of my brother who sort of surprised me by talking about the Scandanavian Cooking tv show on PBS. I asked him why he was interested in it, and he said, well I’m Norwegian, you know. I had no idea. I’ve know his parents and grand parents all my life, but never had any clue that Fatland is a Norwegian name. He said his great-great-grandfather came from Norway, lived in Iowa and MN before moving to SD. I mentioned this group and he asked if I thought there was any chance anyone would have any idea where his ancestors came from. Is there any chance anyone has any idea about this family? Thanks!

Dear Listers! I wanted to let you know, I have still not given up trying to find the death of Hans Christian Halvorsen, presumably died in Milwaukee, WI after 1930. Now the Wisconsin state death index has been examined for the period 1940-1960, but still no success. And then I have found this entry, and I feel quite sure this must be him, in the Milwaukee, WI 1933 city directory: ~~~~~ Name: Hans C Halvorsen Residence Year: 1933 Street address: 102 N 50th pi Residence Place: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Publication Title: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, City Directory, 1933 ~~~~~ The next city directory I can find is from 1939, and there I do NOT find him! So it seems like we're getting closer... Thanks again to all of your for your great assistance trying to figure out what finally became of our Hans! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.

Janice Roberta Pederson was born 05 April 1936 to Robert and Josie (Hanson) Pederson of Mayville. Her four sisters and five brothers were raised with a love for music and for each other. On 26 October 1956, she married her high school sweetheart, Elroy Lindaas. Together, they raised seven children while farming northeast of Mayville. Janice had a talent for creating beautiful things. She loved tending her flower gardens. She sewed clothes for her family and also made many beautiful quilts. She crocheted and did oil paintings. She enjoyed ceramics and even had a small ceramic shop. Janice also worked at the Mayville Coast to Coast and Ben Franklin stores for a short time. She was a Sunday school teacher, church choir director, and 4-H leader. She played the piano and had a beautiful soprano voice. Janice sang with friends in a women's group called "Grace Notes." She and Elroy sang together and were in a mixed group called "Jubilation." They hosted barn dances at their farm for many years. Janice adored children and was a kind and nurturing mother and grandmother. Janice was diagnosed with dementia and became a resident of Meadowlark Lane in Luther Memorial Home in Mayville in December 2010. There she was in the care of kind and devoted staff who became a second family to her. Despite her dementia, she continued to carry her love of music with her. Elroy often brought his guitar to the nursing home to sing to and with her. Often when words wouldn't come, she could still sing and harmonize with Elroy. Music had a calming and therapeutic effect on her. Janice is survived by her loving and devoted husband Elroy, Mayville; seven children, Helen (Al) Hoyt, Mayville, ND; Annette (Mark) Kanko, Castroville, TX; Karen Sedevie, Minot, ND; Darlene McGovern, Moorhead, MN; Jeff (Jill) Lindaas, Mayville, ND; Roberta (Bryan) Welp, Woodbury, MN; and Naomi (Reed) Roisum, Moorhead, MN; 16 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
