Jelsa Kommune Aserod
Steamer	I am hoping to find out any information on the Aaserud family which I am told were probably from this area. They emigrated to the United States in 1907and then to Craigmyle Alberta Canada in 1908 . These are my husband's grandparents. His name was Ole and her's was Lena. I do not know her maiden name but am sure she was from the same general area. They married in 1905. The spelling of their name has probably been changed from Aasero to Aaserud.
Jo Anne Sadler	You have already inquired about these two people in two prior postings and have been generously helped by people on this site. If you have additional information on the same subject, continue in the original posting, double posting just causes confusion and unnecessary research.

Steamer	Thanks so much for this information. We are learning so much more than we ever knew about our Norweigan ancestors. I am finding it fascinating.
