Dr Bruce Gleason Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hello, My great-grandfather, Ole Lagesen (1865 -- 1929) immigrated to the USA in the mid-1880s. He is registered in the 1865 census under the farm Smedhaugen in Kvikne municipality. Our family understands that he attended an agricultural school in Norway prior to migrating. This is all we know and are wondering if it was some kind of folk school--perhaps in the Kvikne municipality. Thank you for any thoughts provided. B. Gleason Referring to your request for more information concerning your ancestor Ole Lagesen Smedhaug (1864-1929) who emigrated to the USA in the mid-1880. We have found Ole Lagesen b. ca. 1864 registered in the 1865 census under the farm Smedhaugen in Kvikne municipality Referring to your request for more information concerning your ancestor Ole Lagesen Smedhaug (1864-1929) who emigrated to the USA in the mid-1880.
