Hi, ok, thanks very much for the reply! My father once said something vague about the Finnish-forrest, (Finnskogen), in the 1980's. So I'm wondering if they really went there, and just pretended to have been in America. Thanks very much for the reply again. Maybe that silver-treasure is a phoney treasure, made by the Finns, to make it look like Numedalen wasn't that Norwegian after all, in the Viking-age, (since the coins in the treasure were form far away), I've been thinking. Who knows. Thank you very much again for checking up about this!

My wireless connection was down for several days. I do not believe that Gullek Toeiet Gulleksson Gulleksrud lived in Rollag, Minnesota. That name has not shown up in any records. Also, I looked at the 1890 and 1900 U.S. Census records and could not find his name anywhere in the U.S. Perhaps he changed his name when he came to America. I am sorry I cannot help you.

After they had moved back to Rollag, (to the farm Me-Traaen), Gullek found a well-known/famous viking silver-treasure, in 1906, on his farm, in Rollag. (A treasure from the viking-age). Do you know if this Gullek Toeiet Gulleksson Gulleksrud has lived in Rollag, USA? Best regards, Erik Ribsskog PS. Here is a link with more information, (in Norwegian), about the treasure that Gullek found, in 1906: http://www.historieboka.no/Modules/historiebok_tidsepoke_tema_artikkel.aspx?ObjectType=Article&Article.ID=1560&Category.ID=1143 On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 12:39 PM, Dennis Herbranson <rollagtorollag@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Hello, Sorry to hear about your family's secrecy.

(The library there sent me them, since I contacted them, a few weeks ago). So I have those scans. I can try to contact the library in Jefferson Prairie, Wisconsin, and hear if they have some of information about my great grandmother and her parents and/or foster-parents. This link between my family and America, is something that my family have kept hidden for me. My father have a new woman, Haldis Humblen, that he has been living with, since 1980, but not married. And she has relatives in the Order of St. John, which they also have kept hidden for me. And on my mothers side, they have kept hidden, that the baron Adeler, was in our line. So there has been a lot of secrecy, in my family, so I have no longer any bonds to them, so that's why I have to ask everyone else, about all these stuff. So sorry about the inconvenience surrounding this! Best regards, Erik Ribsskog PS. And when I get more money, I'll contact Rollag to Rollag back, and order the book about the people who immigrated to America, from Rollag in Numedalen. Thanks very much for the help with this!

It is an old name, I believe. Gulleksrud would mean Gullek's clearing, so it had to be a small farm. And Toeiet would be a small husman's farm on Toen. So I will look there also. >> >> I will try to find out some information about your ancestors for you. >> >> Sincerely, >> >> Dennis >> >> >> --- On Mon, 1/18/10, Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> From: Erik Ribsskog <eribsskog@gmail.com> >> Subject: Great-grandmother Bergit Tovsdotter Mogan >> To: rollagtorollag@sbcglobal.net >> Date: Monday, January 18, 2010, 10:50 PM >> >> Hi, >> I was wondering if you have any information, about my great-grandmother Bergit, (or Birgit), Tovsdotter Mogan, who went to the USA, as a foster-child, her uncle, Gullek Gulleksson Toeiet (Gulleksrud), and his wife, Åse Levorsdotter. >> They went to America, around 1885, from Rollag, in Norway, probably to Rollag, Minnesota, I'd say. >> I went to the USA myself, in 2005, after I'd overheard that I was followed, by the 'mafian', (I don't really know who they are.
