[#50082] Syvert Martinson Kvernerud family from Numedal - emigrated 1869?

[Gjest Lars E. Øyane (Luster kommune)]

A friend of mine in the US, having difficulties getting access to the English version of the Digital Archives site, has asked me to post the following inquiry on her behalf:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am helping someone research their family from Norway. We are told that they immigrated from Numedal in about 1869.The parents names were Syvert Martinson Kvernerud born 1816 and Hans Hustru Ingeborg Kvernerud b 1816 (per their tombstones). They came with their 8 children. There of the children in the US were Ole Martin, Tom Severson and Gene Halvarson. I'm working with the Tom Severson family, he was born 1862.(Tom Severson appears to be born as Tore Syvertsen and christened in Nore, Buskerud, Norway).Thank you very much in advance for your assistance in this matter!Cordially yours,Lars E. Oyane
