michelle_856I am the descendent of #57-65. #57 is my great-great-great grandfather Torbjorn Hendriksen (Aaberge) Naes, born abt 1812. He married #58 Christi Eriksdatter Naes (b: abt 1814) on June 11, 1833. There children (#59-65) were Hendrik T. Torgerson (1834), Peter Nash (1836), Brithe Torgerson (1838), Anders Torgerson (1840), Ole Nash (1843), Torbjorn Torgerson (1846) and Ellen Nash (1848). All these children were born in Luster, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. Torbjorn and Christi had Johannes Nash (1851), Christian Nash (1857) and Gunhilde Nash (abt 1854). As you can see in America the family goes by both Torgerson and Nash, with many various spellings and not always keeping with one surname. Ole and Torbjorn served in the Wisconsin 12th, Company K for the Union in the Civil War. My cousin, Sharon VanPutten has very well documented research on the ancestors of this family and I have been collecting descendents for more than 30 years. We have a MyFamily.com site - Torgerson Times. Please contact me if you are researching this family. michelle_856@yahoo.com
