Here is a possible Trond, age is about right 37 in 1889 = b 1852, occupation is right lærer = teacher, Grøndal is the big farm near farm Træe in Hemsedal, leaving n. Aurdal rather than Hemsedal, married and headed to Crookston.

Here is a possible Trond in the 1900 census, age is a bit over but migration year is 1889:

Possible Trond in 1910:

| Your absolutely right regarding the tanglewood JKMARLER that is why I am a bit hesitant on changing anything in my tree just yet in fear of cascading the extensive confusion even more so. I had upon searching records at times had seen other ship manifests or some form of travel documents. With that said, all being online and the possibility of it being the wrong Ole M Olsen I did not incorporate them into my tree. I originally had wondered if Bertha was a godchild, or illegitimate child he had brought back with him however I think it is fairly safe to say that is not the case from records revealed on this forum. As you suggest going sideways may indeed be the tipping point to concretely rule on the Kari (Iversen, Pedersdatter, Thronsen etc). I look at the registers provided and see so many similarities in names such as an entry for a kari with a father Iver pedersen with a Faddernes of a Peder Trondsen or other such cases and wonder if her father passed away young if she also used her godfathers name. I tend to overthink things and cause more confusion for myself. |

Take a deep breath Ted and step back from the ledge...
Just kidding. But you started your query with the information that her maiden name was Grindahl. Where did that specific piece of information come from, family tradition or documentary? |

Good morning, all,
I am Ted's 'first cousin', Berth Hansdatter's granddaughter, and I would like to offer you my gratitude for your work. Ted's a sweetheart for asking about my grandmother for me since I hadn't figured out how to register on the website. Obviously, he gave me the instructions. For what it's worth, the Montana marriage records stipulate(d?) that the bride and groom enter their parents' names and most importantly the mother's maiden name. Browsing among the other Olson/Rolles trees I discovered that I had missed my great-grandmother's maiden name in the record of Bertha's second marriage. It is Carrie Iverson. So that should be one mystery solved. Mother told me that Grandmother Bertha was about 1 when she and her mother immigrated to the US. Oh, I think you have found my tree - the photos you have in the forum originated with me. Anyway, I do have a question. Can you figure out whatever happened to Hans Olsen, Birgit Hansdatter's daddy? I'll undoubtedly have lots more questions in the future, but for now, that will suffice. And a HUGE thank you from my heart to yours!

| I believe Grindahl/Grondahl was seen in the majority of trees as well as my cousin had it on her tree so I had gone with that to start the thread. I had no real documentation to go on myself as everything written from family had Kari, Carrie, Karen Rolles as her name. |

In the 1900 census Ole Rolles and [Carrie] are listed on the bottom of one page and the children beginning with Cary are written on the next page. Most of Ole's and ?Carrie's entries are obscured by masking tape. However, it does show that Ole and [Carrie] have been married 16 years and that she has born 8 children and 8 children are living. The children on the next page number 7, so if 8 is the number it must include someone else who is not living with the family (Bertha Rolles?). Ole's date of arrival in US is 1865 and [Carrie's} is given as 1880. If this is true--then it is not possible for any person other than Carrie Trondsen to be Henning's mother. IF
The family does not appear in 1910 US census. The son Henning dies in 1909. The family in 1916 Canada census has an arrival date for Canada as 1909. So the family should be findable in the 1911 Canadian census.
Sale date of Ole's homestead might reveal a better date of their leaving. |

Hmmm, well that makes four......I'll get the hang of it yet! (messages written and abandoned prior to this one! ;o) Thank you all for the welcome and, yes, Jackie, I would very much like to pursue Hans Olsen's history since the lady hereunder is definitely my grandmother, Bergit/Bertha (ne Hansdatter) Rolles. Mother told me that grandmother was just a baby when she and her mother immigrated to the US. Oh, and the Grindahl came from a family tree assembled by the son-in-law of my Aunt Florence - she apparently did not have the Kari's patrynomic name , only the farm name. On that note, my mother, Lillian, and her brother, Rudy, interviewed and taped my grandfather, Ole Rossing back in maybe 1960 - I have the tape. Everyone present, including my step-grandmother, was astounded when he told them that his surname was not Rossing but Smedsbole, the name of the farm where he was raised. So finding out that Grindahl was the name of the farm where Kari lived was not too surprising. I'm just glad to have found a more traceable maiden name for Ted's and my great-grandmother! I wonder where the Pederson came from - I have seen it in other trees which had Kari in them. Ah, well......hopefully, someone will figure it out. As for the Canadian information, that's Ted's bailiwick and he's been great to share bountifully.
#53 Bergit Hansdatter's, b. 29 Oct 1879

| Yes, Jackie. That's putting it nicely. He left with the nearest neighbor lady who, with her husband as godfather, was godmother to my mother. I have the Norwegian baptismal booklet which you will probably have seen since you have the photos. . They eventually ended up in Spokane, Washington. I met her when I met my grandfather about 1962 maybe? She was a really sweet lady. Nellie's maiden name was Jergensen/Jorgensen and Ole adopted that name and attached Nels as his given name. The neighbors were not too happy with them, I understand. |
