Odd Kyrre Grønlund

[gj20756]

Does anyone have any information about my father, Odd Kyrre Grønlund from the time he was born in Nøklan until he was confirmed in Skjervøy in 1930. He probably lived in Olderfjord, Troms since he acquired some property there in 1941. We may have had relatives there by the last name Pedersen but I am not sure. His mother was Olga Johansen and father was Karl Grenlund. Any information would be greatly appreciated. mvh Jan Kyrre Grønlund, Canada

Thank you! I spent many hours searching through records and you were able to find it so quickly. Much appreciated. One difficulty that I had was the fact that his father's last name was actually Grenlund but it was registered as Grønlund on the birth records. Confirmation records show that dad was probably raised in either Olderfjord, Troms or Nøklan. I have not had much luck with Karl Grenlund searches either except that he lived in Trondheim. It is all very mysterious and fun when I do come across new bits of information. Olga is listed as being born in 1890 on some records and last name as Johansen so that might be something to confirm. Thanks again!

mvh Jan Kyrre

At the time Odd Kyrre was born his father was a stoker, and lived in the town Harstad. This is from the baptism-record. The Vicar might have written his name wrong (Grønlund instead of Grenlund). Karl might have been working on a steamship and setled down in Trondheim later.
In Census 1910 I found a man named Karl Grenlund, http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft ... 6946002711 in Kvæfjord (Just a few kilometer from Harstad). In 1910 he is 16 years old and a day-labourer. This may be the same person that live in Harstad in 1916. However, I cannot say this for sure. But just in case. Here is his baptism-record.
