27th of August

Hello - Shame on me - I told myself I should write everyday in my blog - but I havn't done that since last Sunday.  But - and it's always a but - I had a tough and fantastic week at work.  And Nichlasen went to Oslo to his father for a year or six - he's going to work and go to school, I hope!

I could have and I'm doing it now, Congratulations to
Peder Pederson 1818 Nordre Osen
Tilda Andersdaughter 1860 Nordre Osen
Mimi Martinsdaughter Langerud 1898 Hof Åsnes


Mimi is my fathers mother, she is my Grandmother and she died in 24th of February 1965 - to early - far too early.  She married my Grandfather Einar, 31th of October 1925 in Åsnes Church.  They had four children, Marit, Inger Marie, my father Ola-Martin and Eivind.  Inger-Marie and Eivind are living at Flisa.  Every time I drive through Flisa, I have to visit my Grandmother at Flisa Cemetery.  I only wish we could have had more time toghether.  Mimi had three brothers who emigrated to USA and Canada.  I've found Theodore in Montana, USA.  I've found Bottolf in Alberta, Canada.  Now I have to look after Asbjørn Martinson - I know I will find him - some day!

Have a beautiful evening - I'm going to do some treadmillsmiles - thank YOU for visiting my blog - and don't forget to enjoy...

15th of August

It's been a out of the house and no internett wek-end - it's been SUN and warmth in Norway for two days!  On Friday we did a trip to Sweden and it poured down from heaven with water - thunder and lightning.  It's "never" rained like that - roads are destroyed and some places pepole are stuck because of the rain.  Horrible.

2.th of August

Hello - I have learned a new word to today.  I've used it many times - I even have it in my name - but never tried to learn it.  Before today.  It's the word patronymic - name derived from that of a father or ancestor.  Like mine, Oladaughter - my fathers first name was Ola.  But it's hard to say - patronymic.


Today I will Congratulate
Syverine Amine Nilsdatter born 1862 Nordre Osen
She lived in Nordre Osen, she was my Great Grandfathers - Per - oldest sister and she died in childbed fever, only 18 years old.  The word is that she was not allowed to to marry the one she loved which was her boychilds father.  She mourned to death.  Sad story.


Olaf Embretson Engebretson born 1886 Åsnes
He lived in Hof and Åsnes and he was a younger brother to my Great Grandmother - Anne Marie.


This is the marshy bay where my mother has her cabin in Nordre Osen - beautiful?
Have a wonderful Monday and don't forget to enjoy...

The First Day in August

Hello to you all!
I see that many bloggers have one year with blogwriting everyday - I think that is a good idea!
Therefor I will - try - to Congratulate everybody who are in my Brother's Keeper list.  I will just use their first name, their patronymic, the year they are born - no one under 80 years old - and their genealogy location. And perhapes a little story.  Hoping no offend!

I have only three genealogy locations.  Nordre Osen which is my grandmother Agnes Dorthea Persdaughters family.  Elverum which is my grandfather Simon Andreas Johannssons family.  And Åsnes which are both my grandmother Mimi Martinsdaughters and my grandfather Einar Karlotsons family.

So Happy Birthday to you all with your Birthday 1.th of August
