Herman Olaussen, født 20.12.1886

[gj03740]

Herman ble født på Knevelsrud i Holter i Nannestad. Han emigrerte til Canada i 1906. Ble gift med Martha, født Enkerud (Ullensaker?) den 06.03.1896. De fikk 2 barn, Edith født 07.07.1921 og Haldis født 03.09.1923. Herman hadde flere brødre. En av de het Martin og var min morfar. Jeg lurer på om Edith og Martha lever og om de har etterkommere. De vil isåfall være mine tremenninger.
