Thore Bottem Family
Neil	I am looking for info. on the Bottem Family. Thore Bottem was born 9/28/1845 in Norway, he married Gunhild Sather in 1878 in Cottonwood County, Minnesota. They moved to Holt, Marshall County, Minnesota in 1906. He died 3/13/1916 in Excel Township, Marshall County, Minnesota. I have info. on their children, but no more info. on where Thore came from or who his siblings or ancestors were. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brining	In the 1865 census this is a likely canidate for Thore living on the Botheimsløkken gard [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60512&gardpostnr=520&personpostnr=3205#nedre"]Click Here[/url] In the kirkebøker for Lesja it lists Thore as being born Sept 29 1845, being one day off would not be unusual [url="http://www.arkivnett.ol.no/dbsok/ndetal.asp?PT=Dopte&Post=29437"]Click Here[/url] The 1900 census lists him as immigrating in 1870. There is a bygdebok for Lesja that may have information that could confirm that this is the correct Thore. Carla
Neil	Thank you very much, I was at a complete lost and was really grasping at straws. I may be missing something, but when I click on the first "Click Here" above I don't see the info. you suggested would be there. The gardsnavn is "Stueflotten", or am I not reading it properly. In what fylke is the Prestegjeld "Lesja" located?
Neil	I spoke too soon. Sorry I did find the information and the Fylke. Thanks a bunch for your help.
