[#9810] Peter A. Fjellanger f. Okt. 17-1851; d. USA

[Gjest Kjellaug Robberstad Petit]

Fikk denne forespørselen fra en amerikansk dame, men jeg er redd for at jeg kan ikke hjelpe henne.Kanskje noen her kan? Mvh Kjellaug R.P.kopi av brev: I am researching my husband's 2nd great grandparents, Peter A. Fjellanger (b. 10-17-1851 in Norway d. 10-1921 in USA) and his wife, Martha O. (b. 7-30-1845 in Norway d. 6-1935 in USA) According to 1900 US Census, they emigrated to US in 1878. They had seven children born to them in the United States, Andrew, Ole, Annie Bertina, Anton, Dina, Martha, and Simon. Andrew's wife, Lena (b. 1880) was born in Norway, as well as Ole's wife, Johanna.(b. 1885).I would appreciate any help whatsoever. We are aware of 2 Fjellanger farms, both in Hordaland. One is in Hosanger Municipality, Eksingedalen parish, the other in Lindaas Hordaland, Lindaas parish. So, if you would look in those areas, I'd be grateful. Also, I have a correction on the date of emigration. I believe they emigrated in 1870. Initially to Minnesota, where their first child was born, and then on to Minnehaha County in South Dakota.
