Ole Benson Hall
LynellLooking for information on my Great Grandfather, Ole Benson Hall. Al I really know about him is the year he died in 1924. He was 59 years old. He lived in New Sollum Township in Minnesota for over 30 years and was married to Mari Loseth on June 22, 1892. They had twelve children. Any information would be appreciated!
Jo Anne SadlerWhat exact information are you looking for? According to the census, Ole Benson Hall was born in Minnesota. Have you secured all records available here, birth, marriage, death records? The Marshall County GenWeb has resources and links: [url="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnmarsha/?o_xid=0022846411&o_lid=0022846411&o_xt=22846411"]Marshall County[/url] You should be able to find him in the 1880 census available free online at Familysearch.org. Most local Family History Centers now have the Ancestry.com databases available and Heritage Quest databases are available at larger public libraries. In the 1900 census, it states Ole and Mari were married six years, she had four children, 2 living.
HopkinsSomeone else was looking for information about Ole Benson Hall several years ago. http://www.genealogy.com/genealogy/users/h/u/n/Janell-Hunt/ Perhaps she's learned more since that time.

LynellI would like to know where he was born, and who his parents were. I thought he was from the Trondheim area in Norway? Not really sure. There aren't any of my Great Aunts or Uncles left to ask.
Jo Anne SadlerThe prior postings still apply, Ole Benson Hall was born in Minnesota. You need to get his birth, marriage, death records to proceed., find in him the 1880 census, contact the lister that Hopkins provided, contact Marshall County, etc. www.vitalrec.com
