2. Jake's Langsjoen manuscript,

page 2, - a bible given to Sigrid Marie by her mother, Gjertrud Persdtr

page 8 [ I've labelled as Prestlien - 3; note I received only a selected number of pages, so the top of this page refers to Ole Svensen, possibly a brother to Nils Svensen since there is some reference on the previous which I did not receive ]

- records her name as Sigrid Marie Jordet, but on page 5&6 (Prestlien 1 and 2), she clearly is the sister to Anne Beata
- records Sigrid's children - Svend, born 15 Nov 1858; Gjertrud Nilsen Jordet, born 7 Feb 1864 - married to Peder N Langsjoen; Kari Nilsen Jordet, born 23 Dec 1866 died 8 Jun 1902 married to Richard Rusten;




4. 11 Jul 2014 Jake Langsjoen manuscript ..... page 1

"... The Grue folks were well known to us ... Tobias...John.... Tore Grue operated a sawmill across the little lake north of the barn..." From research it is not clear where the farm buildings of Peder N Langsjoen were - 1912 platt shows Langsjoen in Tumuli Twp but all the census data for the Langsjoen were on the St Olaf Twp - land of Sigrid Svendsen with her land extending to Sec 31 of Tordenskjold (and also on the 1884 Platt), but then on the 1933 Platt of Tordenskjold shows Peder N Langsjoen on the SW quarter of Sec 31; on the 1912 Platt, Sec 6 of St Olaf Twp also has Knute Sonmor

== Sigrid Swensen was Sigrid Marie Iversdatter Prestlien born 1827, a sister to Anne Beate Iversdatter Prestlien and the daughter of Gjerstrud Persdatter Prestlein who was the daughter of Sigrid Jonsdatter Grue married to Per Jensen Narjord and who was the daughter of Jon Simensen Grue (born 1729).
Sigrid married Nils Svendsen born about 1833 - their child, Gjertur Nilsdatter Jodet born 1864 married Peder N Langsjoen [ http://www.dxhansen.com/project2010/p13.htm#i802 ]Nils Svendsen and Sigrid emigrated in 1870-1871, settling in St Olaf Twp (and likely his land extending to Tordensjold Twp); left Tolga parish, 7 Mar 1869; registered (although name is recorded Nils Evens. Aarmjordet) on Emigrants from Trondheim on 18 Mar 1869 on the ship Norway - this is the same ship/date as the Mikkel Nilsen Prestlien family and Thore Simensen Grue

5. a. Land Patent --- BLO records, record Nils S Jordet and Sigrid Svendson as homesteading135 acres for $10 (receipt 1042 - Lots 6&7 on S½SW¼ of Sec 31, Twp 132N, Range 41W (Tordenskjold Twp) and Lots 4&5 on W½NW¼ of Sec 6, Twp 131N, Range 41W (St Olaf Twp) with final date as 10 June 1876 (receipt 1447)

- Land Patent Certificate issued to "Sigrid Svendson widow of Nils Svendson Jordet deceased", 30 Aug 1876

b. Track Books - Vol 74, page 219 - as above with receipt 1042 on 5 Dec 1870 and final receipt 1447 on 10 Jun 1876, as above 'patent'



-----

- Nils Svendsen father was Svend Nils. ; age 68 < 1797> [ 1865 Norway Census, farm Orvøijordet, #169b ]
- Jake Langsjoen writes that "...Tore Grue operated a saw mill...", Thore Grue family left MN in 1894 for Alberta and Jake wasn't born until 1895. Thus, the saw mill north of the Langsjoen barn must have been known as the one the Thore Grue had and must have been in continued use into the 1900's. However, it is possible that Jake is referring to someone else other than my great-grandfather, but there wasn't another Tore Grue in the Tobias or John Grue family in the Tumuli Twp area. Stony Brook Twp in Grant County (Simen T and Thore S Grue farm) would have been only a few miles (maybe 10 kms) to the Langsjoen farm. Thore S Grue was known to operate and run sawmills in Alberta.


7. Migration 1869

- traveling with the Mikkel Nilsen Prestlien family
- Svend Nilsen Øvrøijordet, Sigrid Marie Iversdtr, Svend age 10 Gjertrud age 5 and 1/12 months; Kari age 2 and 1/6th yr or 2 months


6. Census information:

++ BUT there must be an error -- there is no Svend Nilsen born 1797, 1798 in Tolgen, but my research shows Nils Svendsen's father as Svend Olsen, born 1797 to Ole Andersen Vestgård Røstbakken (Andershaugen), 1789-1876 and a brother to "our" Ole Olsen Vestgård Røstbakken

Farm: Ørvøijordet from, Ivar Sæter, Tolgen (page 109, side 116); Basic translation by Rueben D Grue, utilizing 'google translate'

Ørvøijordet was a sæter under Paulsgaard in Tolgen and and was purchased by Iver Olsen Sundmør. Jordmoen is a part of Jordet and was cleared 70 years ago by Ole Pedersen. The farm Jordet has evidence of a very ancient village that was built possibly before the black death. They have found indications of very old field plots behind the house. Everywhere there is/was timber forests of pine. It was perfectly was suited to charcoal making

[ Ørvøijordet var sæter under Paulsgaard i Tolgen og blve kjobt af Iver Olsen Sundmør. Jordmoen er en part af Jordet og ryddet i 70-aarene af Ole Pedersen. Gaarden Jordet har i en meget gammel tid været bebygget, muligens før den sorte død. Des findes merker efter meget gammel aker og tomter efter huse. Overalt var der da tømmerskog af furu. Den er aldeles blevet udhugget til kulbrænding ]
