Surnames: Tjomsland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3BC.2ACE/1909 Message Board Post: Big Ole Olsen Tjomsland was my Great Grandfather. He came from Norway in 1878 or 1879. There are approximately 37 families in the United States and it appears almost all of these are related as Big Ole's 3 other brothers all came too. Little Ole, Abraham and Andrew. Anyone with information to share, please contact me. I have family history to year 900, to the first King of Norway. It is also posted on the internet for all to see.
