Hi! My name is Michelle and I maried into the Norlie family a year ago. Shortly after getting married I started on my husbands family history. It has been slow going and I need quite a bit of help. I was exstatic when I found this web site!!
Here is where what I know and where I get stuck. I'm searching for Adolph Norlie who was born in 1879 in Norway. He married Mina nee Olson in 1904 in Norway. They had two daughters Helga (later changed to Helen) and Olga, who were both born in Norway. In 1908 Adloph and his brother-in-law Adolph RUM came to North Dakota. Later Mina and her two dtrs. followed. They were only there until 1909 when Adolph and his BIL went to Alberta, Canada to start a homestead. Mina and the girls followed in the spring of 1910. Adolph and Mina then had two boys and a girl born to them in Canada.
I know the last name Norlie was NORDLIE befor they came to America. What I can't figure out is where in Norway Adolph and Mina were born, who their parent's are and how many children they had. I know Adolph had to have a sister but I dont have any information on her or their parents. I know there is a farm called ROM and one called NORDLIE in Loten, Hedmark.
I'm not sure how to get information on those farms or how to even search Norweigen records of any kind. I would love to share what ever information I have and compare notes with other people. Please let me know if you have any information that might help me search this family line. I really appreciate it and sorry this is so long. [:)]
