Hi, Trudy Jean and Betty, This Lansrud connection has me intrigued, too. I wonder if Margaret/Margrete Lansrud is a sister of the Ragnhild Øysteinsdatter Lansrud who married into my Hande slekt (see below). Was this Ragnhild also a daughter of Østen Endreson & Ingeborg Knudsdtr., do you suppose, Betty!
