On Severt, Siri Anna, Lettie and Stella
einarhHi Carla, Did you receive my message of today Monday? Einar
einarhHi Carla! Son of the "pioneer lady" Siri Anna, Ole A. Olson, was settled in Northland township, Ransom county ND with his wife and children in 1910 and 1920. The gif photos of census lists of 1930, however, seems to show that the family was not in Northland any more. Have any clue as to where to trace them? Best from Einar
BriningHi Einar, The site I use doesn't have the 1930 census indexed but maybe someone else can find them. Here is the link to Ole A. Olson in the 1920 census for Ransom county North Dakota [url="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nd/ransom/census/1920/124-09a.gif"]Click Here[/url] He is shown in the 1900 census as being born in Aug 1882 in North Dakota. Hopefully someone with access to Ancestry.com can find him Carla
DALBOle and Mary and 6 children are in Grand Forks City, Grand Forks County, North Dakota in 1930. At the bottom of the page.

einarhHi Dalb, Very, very interesting. But the link just says it's not able to authenticate me... Could it be that Ancestry.com have more demands to open the link? Best Einar
DALBIt is probably the link I am using. I tried to copy and paste, but it will only paste a small portion of the page. 1930 US Census North Dakota (Image 35 of 48) 16 April 1930 Sheet No 17 B ED 18 - 24 Grand Forks City, Grand Forks County, North Dakota They are living on Sixth Avenue Olson, Ole 47 - married at age 26 - born ND - is a Laborer in a Mill Mary 48 - married at age 25 - born Norway - emigrated 1904 -Naturalized 6 children living with them - all single - all born ND John 20, Eddie 18, Frances 15, Bernice 12, Gladys 11, Myrtle 9
BriningI am glad you found them Dalb. With that information I was able to find the correct image on the North Dakota USGENWEB [url="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nd/grandforks/census/1930/24-17b.gif"]Click Here[/url] for the actual image. Carla
einarhHi Carla and Dalb! My computer has been out of function since Friday, so I couldn't thank you! Thanks to both. I subscribed early Fridy to a fortnight's test subscription on Ancestry.com and found the same as on the link you sent, Dalb. Also, I have tried to trace descendants from Siri Anna and Severt (the Lindstad family, after Lettie and Paul A. Lindstad) but so far without luck. Best from Einar
einarhBy the way: Is it possible to search more recent censuses than 1930 - to trace the folks further? Einar
Jo Anne SadlerThe Federal 1930 census is the latest available - the 1940 census will be released in 2012. When seventy two years was set as the time frame for release this was the average life expectancy in the U.S. There were various early state census' but I don't think there were any done by 1930.
DALBThe daughter's family you are looking for are on the North Dakota 1930 census under Tingstad in Adams Co., Clermont Township. Enter - Tingstad - North Dakota - Adams
einarhFine, Dalb! But there is always another mystery to be solved, as Carla use to put it!! I tried the international telephone info in Norway who could regrettably tell me there is NO Tingstad in the entire North Dakota registry (an information I tend to doubt). But the mystery is still there: WHERE did they go (a LARGE family!) There are about 15 Tingstads in Michigan and 5-6 families in the telephone book in entire Minnesota. None in Wisconsin and none in South Dakota. Best
DALBCheck the LDS site - www.familysearch.org - search tab - social security death register enter - Tingstad In particular - #22. Joseph Tingstad - birth year is about right for one of their sons - card issued in North Dakota - he died in Washington State. Many families moved further west and Washington has a lot of Norwegian families living there. You could place a query regarding this family to the Adams Co ND site on http://www.rootsweb.com/ Ancestry - under births, deaths and marriages - enter - Tingstad - United States Washington Death Index - 1940 - 1996 - Joseph E Tingstad 13 Nov 1983 Tacoma Tacoma 82 years M 502-01-8190 029314 Melvin C Tingstad 03 Feb 1996 Tacoma Tacoma 85 years M 535-07-2789 004137 South Dakota marriages - these are names of some of their children - could be a match Lillian Tingstad Age: 29 Gender: Female Spouse: Oscar Jabshson Marriage Date: 10 Feb 1934 Marriage County: Brown Post Office: Aberdeen Roy Tingstad Age: 21 Gender: Male Spouse: Pearl Adamec Marriage Date: 29 Oct 1933 Marriage County: Perkins County of Residence: Perkins Post Office: Haynes
einarhHi Dalb! We're closing in! The Washington track seems to be the most fruitful and I am pursuing it now. I am very, very grateful to you! Best

einarhHi Carla! Finally I am in touch with one of my third cousins over there by mail. It's fantastic! And you are still helping. I want to thank you! Carla, your own Norwegian roots, where in this old, long country was that? Best
BriningCongratulations Einar. It is great that you have connected with someone. My roots come from Lesja, Verdal, Namsos, and Snåsa. I was able to find and visit some of our relatives a few years ago. Good Luck Carla
einarhThanks! A lot of family info is being exchanged day by day now - between the Seattle family members and me. Best
