Ole Skjerven frå Vardal (fødd 1870) - biografi frå Amerika - nokon interessert?

[Lars E. Øyane]

Eg har motteke følgjande melding frå ei kjenning i North Dakota:

 

" I have in my possession an Autobiography of Ole Sherven (Skjerven).  It is a duplicate copy from the NDSHS archives. It was loaned to me as a duplicate copy. (...) This Ole was born in the Vardal Parish on 3 November. 1870. He spent time on Gjovik then emigrated from Kristiania in 1892"

 

Det er ein gard Skjerven i Luster kommune, men denne Ole har ikkje noko med Luster å gjera.  So var tanken min:  Kanskje det sit ein eller annan granskar som saknar opplysningar om denne utvandraren frå Vardal?

 

Med venleg helsing,

 

Lars E. Øyane

Det er denne?

 

Ole Sherven was born in November 1870 in Vardals Parish, Norway.  He came to the USA from Gjovik, Norway in 1892.  He lived for a time in Minneapolis, Minnesota working there and in the woods around Stillwater, Minnesota.  In the summer of 1893, he went to Portland, North Dakota to do farm labor work.  He spent several years in that area.

Ingeborg Haugen was born in Hedalen, Valders, Norway.  She and Ole Sherven were married in 1899.  They homesteaded on the E1/2 of Section 19, Lenora Township, living there until 1909.

There were five children in the family: 

Alma, Ludvik, Mark, Norman, and Dagny (Mrs. G. E. Zuelow) who is the only surviving member of the family.

Dette er kanskje vigselen til Oles foreldre, nummer 19?:

Denne oppføringen, nummer 124, har kanskje feil navn på moren, Lisa Olsdatter?:

EDIT: ser Lisas far heter Ole Magnussen, så det er forklaringen....

Hjarteleg takk til Sven og Ann-Mary for interessante innlegg!

 

So vidt eg kan sjå, er opphavet til Ole Skjerven godt dokumentert, men eg sender opplysningane vidare til Amerika!

 

Med venleg helsing,

Hei Lars, jeg vet ikke hva 'NDSHS archives' er for noe, men jeg er sikker på at Utvandrermuseet gjerne vil ha en kopi av biografien, hvis de ikke allerede har den.

[Mette Engeskog Nordengen]

Den norske delen av slekten til Ole P. Skjerven er omtalt i boken "Slekter på garder i Vardal og Redalen" av Per Braastad revidert og utgitt av VSHL avd Gjøvik og Toten i 2008 med tillegg og rettelser på lagets webside www.slektshistorielaget.no

Slektshistorielaget er interessert i en biografi fra USA eventuelt at vi kan bytte.

Til Mette.

 

Kanskje lurt å bruke ditt fulle navn som visningsnavn i stedet for

mettenordengen@gmail.com

 

:)
