I am new to the forum and have some questions that I hope to have help with. Is there any English version of the archives that are often quoted here, or reliable online translation? In an older thread there from January 09 I gained much information about my family. From the census in 1900 where you found Martha you will also see her parents Ole Amundsen who was a carpenter and farmer. He was born in 1841 and was the owner of Rognstadengen. Marthas mother was Eline Olsdatter and was born in 1837. Martha had two brothers in 1900, Edvart who was a timberman and Olaf who was a shoemaker prentice. Martha (baptized Marta) was born Nov 12 1881 and bapt Jan 1 1882, see #4 in lower part of page (which is for females). Her parents were then on Molstadeiet. Marthas brother Olaf from the 1900 census was born March 23 1884 and baptized Olav Nikolai on April 13 (Easter sunday). The parents were still on Molstadeiet. See #15 Marthas brother Edvart was born May 3 1878 and baptized Edvard on June 23, see #62 I am one of the descendants of Edvart. I have two questions about Edvart and his wife Martha Evensen. They are listed on records in the U.S. as Edward and Martha (evans) Delle. The question about Edvart is about the name Delle. It was discussed also in the post I quoted above, being linked to the Delemoen farm where the family lived. My grandfather had offered a different family name of Dæhli. I have found reference to this as a farm name also, but can not link the family to it. Is it a possible alternate spelling? I am also trying to research Martha more. Matha Evensen was found in the 1900 census in the Hallingdal, domecile of Munthe. Brandbu krs. this puts her in the same area as Edvart. She arrived in the United States on July 18, 1903 in Boston, Mass. on the SS Ultonia. I would like to know more about her side of the family but can not trace her family as she seems to fall between census counts. born too late for 1875 and does not appear to be with her own family in 1900. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated. Todd
