valdahl
valdahlI would appreciate any help in this matter. We are searching for ship records that contain my GGGGGrandfather Andrew Valdahl. He came to Philadelphia from Norway in 1876 we think on the Tasso ship. We have spent years trying to find out anything we can on our name and other family members. Thanks you.
valdahlVALDAHL, I FORGOT TO MENTION WHEN HE LIVED IN OR AROUND VALDAHLEN HE DID NOT HAVE THE LAST NAME OF VALDAHL THAT CAME WHEN HE MOVED TO AMERICA. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HIS OTHER LAST NAME WAS
jwiborgHi Susan, There is a place called Valdalen in what is now called Engerdal municipality, Hedmark county. People from that area normally emigrated through the Oslo/Kristiania or Trondheim harbour.[url="http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/wc/webcens.exe?slag=meny&kategori=5&emne=1&spraak=e"]Norwegian emigrants[/url] I believe the area was under Røraas Parish, Sør-Trøndelag in 1865 [url="http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61640&spraak=&metanr=756&spraak=e"]Røros census, 1865[/url]. His first name would probably be Andreas in Norway. Do you know when he was born? Jan
thelebrityThere is also a place called Valldal in Norddal parish, Møre og Romsdal fylke. In 1879 one Andreas Arnesen from Norddal parish emigrated on the ship Tasso : http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&variabel=0&postnr=17617&fulle=true&spraak=n Here he is in the 1865 census: http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61524&variabel=0&postnr=1436&fulle=true&spraak=n
