Johannes Dahl
ConnieKLooking for information on Johannes Dahl born 1836 in Bergen. Immigrated to America in 1861 coming into Chicago with wife Petrine Pedersburg born 14 Nov Norway. He died of typhoid fever in Chicago, Petrine went on to Westby, Wisconsin. Also, Hogan H. Viken/Kolbo born 1 Feb 1822 Oppland County Gudbrandsdalen married 1848 in Nannestad to Karen Olsdotter from Norgard Slattum farm near Nannestad. No passenger lists records before 1861. Both families coming together. Thanks.
BriningHi Connie, Are you sure Johannes was born in Bergen? I found the family record on the LDS for Johannes and Petrine with a son Peter born , Bergen, Sondriland, Norway, There isn't a Sondriland near Bergen (that I'm aware of) so I checked Sondre Land in Oppland and there is a Peter born to Johannes Johnson and Petrine Pedersdatter matching the birthdate in the vital records index for Norway.

ConnieKThank you Carla, The Bergen was told to my mother, but obviously wrong. The two families must have lived in the same area and decided to immigrate together. They came to this country when Peter was 3 years old in 1861.[:)] Next time I get to the LDS library I will do more research in Sondre Land. Connie
