[Gjest Gurli Heimsbakk]

Har fått en oppgave fra en i Amerika om og prøve finne hans forfedre - lite info fikk jeg men kanskje noen kan hjelpe lell -Guldbrand Halvorson f.25/1-1844 dro til USA ca 1859/60 - Far mulig het Haldor/Halvor Halvorson. så står det Sogn- Gudrandsdalen så her er det jo litt geografikk kunnskap som er på jordet - han ble gift (i USA ) med ei fra Sogn - Leikanger - Det høres vel mere ut som Gudbrandsdøling dette med disse navnene - har noen - noen tips her??? Gudbrand dro til USA med Ole Halvorson og Ann Pedersdatter, mulig slekt. Takker for all mulig hjelp!MVH, Gurli

Hi Elly! I am looking for info on theese people that emigrate to USA in 1859/69. Guldbrand ( called Gilbert in USA) Halvorson b.25/1 1844. His father may be called Haldor/Halvor Haøvorson - they perhaps came from the area in Gudbrandsdalen. He married a girl named Ingeborg born 1850 from Leikanger in Sogn (she went with her family to USA about 1856)- it could be that Gudbrand went to USA together with Ole Halvorson and Ann Pedersdaughter who could be in family with Gudbrand. Do you know this people??????Best regards, Gurli
