Marit Iversdtr Prestlien

  Research Notes:

**** Remember: Anne Beate Prestlien, married to Mikkel Nilsen Sonmor; Sigrid Marie Prestlien married to Nils Svensen .. and Marit Prestlien married to John Engebretson: their grandmother was Sigrid Jonsdtr Grue , 1763-1824, and she was the daughter of my 4th great grandfather, Jon Simensen Grue, 1729-1807 ****

Mikkel Nilsen Sonmor went to Tordenskjold Twp in Otter Tail Co, MN and died there in 1883. Sigrid Marie Prestlien and Nils Svensen also went to Otter Tail Co, MN and raised their family there. Marit Prestlien and John Engebretson also went to Otter Tail Co, the Battle Lake area; Marit died in 1880 and John remarried in 1882 and in 1888, John's family moved to the Silvana/Norman area of Snohomish Co, WA

NOTE: I have done only minimal research on the family of Marit Iversdtr Prestlien and her children

- has more information on Marit and John's children ... and notes that the children used the surname "Johnson" in the US
- notes John Embretsen Sømahaug or Sømahaugen .... I haven't been able to find the exact farm, but Sømahaugen is most likely a part of the area known in Sømadalen/Sømadal. Since 1911, this area became a part of Engerdal parish, but prior to 1911, it was consdier a part of Tolga parish in the area of south of Lake Langsjoen and south on the emptying of the lake into Langhåen [mostly likely a river] in the south part of Holøydalen in Tolga parish

.. and another family relationship or at least a family connection:
the FT owner's mother was Elise Engebretsen [daughter of John Engebretsen and his second wife] ..... but 3rd great greatparents

  Marriage Notes:

Hedmark - Tolga Parish register (copy) no. 6, 1864-1894, p. 100.

Comments:
1. written on 1st left column, under the date of 24 Oct ... I can't make it out .... ? in Narvold ... ? Tolga
... it is not clear why the marriage record is recorded in the Narvold register - there is no record in the Tolga register of the Os register
2. His name: John Embretsen Øvøijosdet (eller=or Sømåhaugen)
3. Fødested [birthpalce] born at born Sømaahougen=Sømåhaugen and then ... ? but I think it is Ørvoijordet or Orvoiholshed
4. 24 yrs and 1/6 years
5. father .. father: Embret Johnsen Lillebo in Trysil

Comments: for Marit are straitforward
