Dear Listers! Another big "challenge" has today appeared in Norwegian records: Ole Ostenson Bolstad, born in Luster Co., Norway Oct. 6, 1822 marred in Hadsel Co., Vesteraalen Norway Oct. 12, 1859 to Bertha Axelia Henriksdotter Tenstrand, born in Hadsel Co., Norway Oct. 13, 1828 Ole and Bertha farmed for a while at Lunkefjord and then at Aselven in Hadsel Co., Borway but EMIGRATED in 1867 with one daughter: Alette Laurine (Olson?), born in Hadsel Co., Norway Aug. 10, 1861 The family shows up on "Norway Heritage" emigrating on "Protector" in 1867: 104 Ole Østensen Lonkau?? 44 M countryman* 105 Berte !! 37 F wife 106 Alette Olsd.* 5 F daughter But then to the big question: * What became of this family in the United States? Ole had one sister who emigrated: Christi Ostensdotter Bolstad (1832-1924) married Hans Jensson Skildum (1838-1916). They also emigrated in 1867 and settled first in Vernon Co., WI, removing 1878 to Moody Co., SD remaining there the rest of their lives. They went by the last name of JOHNSON in the US! I have looked for Ole in Vernon Co., WI, but don't "spot" him there... Any suggestions would be more than welcome! Very sincerely yours, Lars E.
