My husband, William Max Moe and I have the Family Bible of Hans Thoresen Moe (fod May 24, 1826) and wife Ellen Gorina - fod Feb. 9, 1836). It says they immigrated to USA in about July 1866. Gift den 24 June, 1859 (perhaps this is when they married). They had three children when they left Norway, Hans Jakob Moe (fod Aug. 26, 1860), Anne Marie (fod May 10, 1862), KaroLine (fod June 1865, dode 1866). According to my find on ancestry.com Hans Jakob lists his home as Gjerdrum, Norway. Hans Thoresen Moe's father was Thore Moe and his mother Kare Moe. We are trying to verify if our family is from Gjerdrum and if there are family (granted very distant) members in Norway that we could contact. Thore and Kare are buried in the same cemetery in Kansas as Hans and Ellen. However, I don't know when they came to America. I believe other family came (perhaps a daughter of Thore and Kare) and would like to be able to find any information about the entire family
