Sources used by Naeseth for the above information: Aurland, SF, Norway, parish records; Lars E. øyane; History of Norwegian Immigration to the United States, 323; Aettebok for Aurland, 301; Nordmændene i Amerika, II: 632; Naesth-Fehn FAmily History, 25; 1850 WI census; Koshkonong Lutheran Church records; Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Rock Dell, MN; Barbara Naeseth. Lars Torbjørnson Gjesme & Anna were married 9/30/1853 at the West Koshkonong Church, ceremony performed by Adolph C. Preus. There were no witnesses listed. Naeseth has no mention of a second marriage, but that does not mean your info is incorrect. Ingeborg Torbjørnsdatter Gjesme was married 6/27/1854 at the groom's parents (Sjur Sjurson Sætre)residence. No witnesses listed, but again marriage performed by Preus. Kari Torbjørnsdatter & Ommund Nielsen...the date listed above is correct, but no location listed. Marriage performed by Preus. You stated that you thought they stayed in NY for 3 years prior to coming to Wis. You did not mention why you thought that, and I am not sure how you would be able to verify it. They came to the US in 1846 and by 1850 were in Wis....unless there is a NY census that fits between those dates and shows them in NY. Well, regardless, I cannot help you with that one, sorry.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WFC.2ACI/977.1657.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello cousin. My grandfather was your grandfathers brother. Actually, Adam was your GGG grandfather. Yes they are they same blood line and the spelling of the name did get changed. Adam was married to Sarah. They had numerous children. The oldest daughter (Apolona) apparently had a child out of wedlock and this produced her son George. If you look on the census records in 1880 you will find George listed as a G son of Adam however no parents are listed for him. George was the father of Hallie and Harlie. Ira is my dad. My dad says that he remembers that his G grandmothers name was Apalona. I recently found her grave in the Cana cemetery just out of Uniontown. Her brother Adam is there also. Adam and Sarah and numerous relation of theirs are buried at Wesley Chapel in Austin. I have found that Adam arrived in America from Germany in 1836. I think I have found that he and Sarah were in Phil., Pa. on the 1840 census. If you can be of any help on this subject I would greatly ap! preciate it. Sincerely, Marsha Layman
