Hi Laila, Here it is: GENERATION 1 LARS ANDERSEN MANDAHL, b. 1809 Rommedal, Hedmark, Norway - m. CHRISTINE KNUDSDATTER Uggen-Eiet 10 Jan 1838, Christiania, Norway. They had the following children: i. Johan Christian Larsen MANDAHL, b. 19 Jun 1838, Christiania, Norway - d. 28 Dec 1919, Fielding, NZ. ...

Hi again Laila, Now I don't know how to work that out very well. His gg grandmother was my ggg aunt. So he is a 2nd cousin to my mother two times removed, so 3 times removed for me...I think. Great game ice hockey. I like watching it on telly, but we only really see it on Australian TV in the winter...

Hi Leila!!! Thankyou. Now we know the census was incorrect for Julie's parentage and I have sure parentage for her. Funny how Johan and Maren had no other children though. I think one of the witnesses may have been Eline Halvorsen not Elise - Maren had a sister named Eline. (Oline). My g grandmother...

Hi Laila, WOW!!! And guess what....he may be more related than we know for sure!!! There is a possibility his g grandmother (Julie Randine Mandahl) was actually Julie Mathilde Mandahl's mother and not her aunt. There is some speculation in that regard as Johan and Maren brought Julie to NZ with them...

Hi Vidar,

Thankyou so muh for your help!!!

Kymm

Hi Laila, Thankyou so much for that information. Was going to be on a wild goose chase with that It makes sense to differentiate yourself from others if you are in businees as same-names were so prolific. It has puzzled me for the last few years how the Mandahl name came into it considering there we...

Hi Vidar, Thankyou for your reply. I don't include anything in my research until I have a couple of good sources. This was just something I came across in my search for more information. I have been wondering where the Mandahl name actually came from considering so far no one in the tree has been fr...

Hi Laila, Thankyou once again. You are fantastic!!! I have posted another teaser on the Stange site with regard to Lars Andersen Mandahl since that is where he comes from. I thought the Mandahl may have come from a farm name, but there is no Mandahl farm in Romedal...however there was a Mandall fami...

Hi, This is part of another forum of Dis Norge which I began in Oslo with regard to the Mandahl family. I had wondered how my ancestor Lars ANDERSEN Mandahl wound up with the surname Mandahl. Discovering he was born in Rommedal through the help of some kind people on this site I have discovered his ...

Hi Vidar and Kjell, Thankyou so much for all the help you have given me. I have now established that the death certificate gave Gunda's father the wrong surname!!! Now I can try and go further on. Gunda was my gg grandmother - known as Gunda Ericksen in NZ. I have traced her husband's family back a ...

Hi Laila, Thankyou so much for replying. Yes Pip and I are in contact due to the fantastic genealogy project she has undertaken with regard to the Norwegian immigrants into NZ, and through your work have found we could possibly be related. (Assuming her Anne Marie and my Maren Helene are sisters!!)....

Thankyou very much for your reply. I had not included the information regarding who I think may be her parents as I am not sure whether it is correct. It certainly fits that her parents were Peder Tordsen and Guri Evensdatter, and the marriage record would back this up. This would verify that the in...

Hi everyone, I am wondering whether anyone could please help with further information on this couple. They were married 10 Jan 1838 at Domkirken, in Oslo, Akershus. I have found them in the 1865 census with some of their family - son Johan Christian Mandahl (my ggg g/father) is on the census elsewhe...

Erik Olsen and Gunda Pedersdatter married in Christiania between 1873 and 1878. I have one date of 30 August 1873, but have not established if this is correct. If so their first child, Anton (who's birth in 1879 I also can't find) was born a number of years after their marriage!! Hence why I wondere...
