I'm new to this forum and hope someone can help. I am searching for my great-grandfather. I don't believe he ever emmigrated to USA. I've hit a brick wall. My grandfather was named Ole Tornelius Sandvold in USA. b. jun 8 1877 d. sep3 1936. from what little family history I have his father was Torres Olson from Sandhordland married to Margrete- no last name. Ole was married 1906 to Marie Holmedal b. jul 3 1880 d. jan 24 1884 (43?) Marie's father's name was Lars Torresm Sandvik - her mother's name was Johanne Torbjorsdtr. Holmedal. - Marie is listed as being from Holmedal, utaker is listed also-- (is this a parish name?, Hordland. I have found by searching on Digatalkivet -- Ole Tornelius listed as first name, Torressen as middle name, Sandvold as last name., age 16, 1877, Skonevig, ug, badgers son ( is this baker's son?) shipped via Thingvalla 6-7-1893, sailed from Bergen. Farm #10 (Sandvold). I'm assuming this is the correct Ole - my grandfather. I'm interest in finding my great-grandfather information and whether my grandfather Ole had any brothers or sisters. (Is it possible I have the wrong Ole and need to look other than Hordland?) Sorry this is so long but wanted to give you as much info as possible. Thanks for any help yuo can give me!
