Hi,
thank you very much for the e-mail!
I haven't heard from your collegue yet.
But I've checked a bit in the census, that he mentioned, (the online one from 1885, for North Dakota, I think it was).

I couldn't find my great-grandmothers foster-parents there.
But from what I hear from Norway, these censuses are often full of mistakes.
I've been serving my conscripton-service, in the Norwegian infantry, (Geværkompaniet), in 1992/93.
And there they said that: 'Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær'.
Meaning that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.
So if you have some Norwegian relatives then they could probably give you advice on how to handle the cold winters.
But I guess you are used with them, (like it seems to, from your Facebook-messages and e-mails).
Thanks very much again for the help!
Mvh,
Erik Ribsskog
The long cold winters are pretty intimidating here, that is true.
Again, thank you for your inquiry…I am not sure if Steve has gotten back to you, but I know he was having a lot of trouble finding any information for you.
Good luck with your search.

Hi,
ok, that's very fine!
I understand it if you have a lot to do, and don't have the time, do work with this.
The libraries in Norway, (I live in the UK now), often don't reply to me, (due to this).
I guess that's perhaps why my relatives moved back to Norway again then.
Since it was a bit difficult to have a farm, in North-Dakota, due to the cold climate.
I also know two librarians in Norway, (Siri Rognli Olsen and Marianne Høksås, which was my line-manager, at Arvato/Microsoft, here in Liverpool).
But they don't help me with my research.
(My relatives don't want to send my career-stuff from Norway, so I try to find about what I was doing in Norway, (in sports etc.), in newspapers etc., but the libraries can't often find what I'm looking for, for some reason).
Thanks again for the help with this!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Erik,
Good morning. Thanks for sending these items. Again, I will pass this on to Steve Hubbard so that
he can try to find you further information about your relatives.

Hi again,
I also send a copy of my genealogy, (which I started with, when my Danish grandmother died, in 2009, since I read in her will, that she had inherited some nobles, (Adeler)).
I also used to have an a bit large My Heritage-site.
But it was hijacked, a couple of years ago, and the company don't want to let me have my site back, (even if I paid them good money for it, for a couple of years time).
So it isn't that detailed now, (the genealogy), but I sometimes works a bit with it, (if I'm bored etc.), and I look in online sources, in Norway, (like church-books and the National
library archive, which both have quite many documents, I think).
Thanks again for the help with this!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
here is the e-mail I was sent back in 2010, from Rollag library, in Norway.
In the attachment it's more information about my relatives which I mentioned on Facebook.
I also send a copy of this e-mail to Rollag library, just in case they don't have the e-mail-address for your library.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hei!
Her er det jeg har funnet i våre bygdebøker.
Angående dialekten, så er det ikke Rollag-dialekt. Mulig det er Valderes-dialekt?
Håper det kom til nytte!
Mvh

Hei,
jeg prøvde å kontakte Lågdalsmuseet, om de hadde noe informasjon om Mogan-familien, siden min farmor var fra Rollag, Ågot Mogan Olsen.
Og Ågot hadde en bror som sa 'jintutten'.
Jeg skal finne den e-posten jeg sendte til Lågdalsmuseet:

Hei,
jeg bare lurte på om dere hadde noe informasjon om min farmor, Ågot Mogan Olsen, (som døde i år
2000 vel), sine foreldre Nils Mogan, (visstnok også kjent som 'Nils i Dalen'), eller Ågots mor Birgit Mogan.
Birgit var visst adoptert, men arvet likevel gården.
Gården het jo Mogan da, og de tok navnet etter gården, husker jeg at farmora mi sa.
Jeg bor i England, så jeg får ikke så lett tilgang til bygdebøker osv., men jeg bare lurte på om
dere tilfeldigvis hadde noe informasjon.
Ågot sa at mora hennes pleide å si 'je vet itte je'.
(og det betydde 'jentene', husker jeg at farmora mi forklarte meg, da jeg var guttunge, når broren
hennes spurte meg hvordan det gikk med jintutten, en gang noen søskener av farmora mi var samla hos farmora mi da.
Min far, Arne Mogan Olsen, som nå bor i Drammen, (samboer med Haldis Humblen), han lot meg bo alene
på Bergeråsen, fra jeg var ni år, så jeg spiste alltid middag hos Ågot da, da jeg var sånn 9-10 år osv., så derfor husker jeg noen av de orda som hu og broren hennes brukte, osv.
Så sånn er det.).
På forhånd takk for eventuelt svar!
Mvh.
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
Men vi får se hva som skjer.
kroner i uka i mat.
Bare noe jeg kom på.
Håper dere har mulighet til å svare!

Hei,
ja, det kan jeg kanskje prøve.
Det er snakk om gården Mogan forresten, i Rollag, men den gården er vel kanskje ikke så stor at den er kjent nedover i Kongsberg osv.
Mormora mi hevdet forresten å være i slekta etter Ove Gjedde, som holdt til i Kongsberg bl.a. vel.
Men det er visst litt usikkert, min mormor Ingeborg Ribsskog, var barnebarn av den danske øverstkommanderende mellomkrigsgeneralen Anders Gjedde Nyholm, (og
hennes tante var også gift med den siste baron Adeler).Erik Ribsskog

Hei,
Viser til e-post vedr. informasjon om Ågot Mogan Olsen. Vi har dessverre ingen informasjon om henne.
Jeg foreslår at du tar kontakt med biblioteket i Rollag, som har alle bygdebøkene og annen lokalhistorisk litterat fra Rollag.
Med vennlig hilsen
