Norwegian setlers

Hi,

thank you for your e-mail!

Hans Nelson is also mentioned by Ulvestad as one of the first Norwegian setlers in Nobles County.

And from one of the attachments you sent, it appears that Hans Nelson was married, from before he went to Nobles County.

So then it could be that these setlers traveled with their wifes etc., I guess.

And it could be that this is the my great-grandfather Gullik Gulliksen, (and that he traveled with his wife Aase and foster-daughter Birgit, my great-grandmother).

Gullik went to America in 1867, (see attachment), and then went back to Norway again in 1887, (see attachment).

And he worked as a farmer in America, (the attachment says, which is from a census, in Norway, it seems).

And the last state that Gullik lived in was North Dakota, (the same attachment says).

My great-grandmothers uncle and foster-father Gullik Gulliksen found a well-know viking-treasure in Rollag, in Numedal, on June 6th 1906.

(This treasure is called 'Traaen-skatten'.

I've wondered if Gullik could have found these viking-stuff in America, and brought it back to Norway, (because I also read in the Ulvestad-books, at the Norwegian National Library, that many of the indians were white, so they could have been decendants of the vikings perhaps.

But I guess that isn't that likely.

It's more likely that they were from Numedal.

Even if I today read at a library, (in an old newspaper), that a Gullik Gulliksen from Numedal had been cought trying to sell silver from the Kongsberg silver-mines, in Oslo.

But I haven double-checked this yet, with the years etc.).

I was wondering if Hans Nelson's desendants perhaps would know more about this, (if Hans Nelsons travel-mate Gullik Gulliksen had a wife named Aase etc, and where Gullik went to after Nobles County).

Are there any Nelsons in Nobles County that perhaps would know this, (I was wondering).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog
PS.

Nelson btw. also seems Americanized to me.

Nilsen is the 'normal version' of hit name, in Norway, (I'd say).

And also Hans Nelson's mother's name was Betsy, (it says in your attachment).

But Betsy isn't a 'normal' Norwegian name.

It could be Americanised from like 'Beate' perhaps, (I was wondering).

But I guess Mr. Nelson had stayed for a long time in America, when he went to Nobles County, so he perhaps has gotten a bit Americanized byt the time he got there.

But I could also be wrong, I guess.

But this, (Mr. Nelson), I can also try to find out more about in Norwegian sources.

Thanks again for the help!

Erik,
The only reference to Gullik Gulliksen that I was able to find was in the book Illustrated History of Nobles County History by Arthur P. Rose, published in 1908. Gullik's name is mentioned in the biography of Has Nelson, who was one of the first to settle in Ransom Township in Nobles County. I note that Gullik's name most likely was changed at some point to Gullick Gullickson. As you may know, that happened to family names frequently to more "Americanize" the name. I believe this is the name you are looking for. I have attached Hans Nelson's biography from Rose's history which mentions Gullick's name and the 1888 plat map of Ransom Township where Hans nelson farmed Sections 19 and 20. I'm sorry that i could not find any other reference to Mr. Gullicksen.

Hi,

I contacted Nobles County on Facebook, and they adviced me to contact you.

I'm trying to find out more about my great-grandmother Birgit Mogan's uncle and foster-father Gullik Gulliksen.

Gullik went to America with his wife Aase and also with Birgit as a foster-daughter.

Gullik was from Rollag, in Numedal, in Norway.

And I read in a book at the Norwegian national library, that a Gullik Gulliksen was one of the first setlers in Nobles County.

(And it also says in the same book, that many of the first setlers in Nobles County were from Numedal, where my relative Gullik/Gullich Gulliksen was from).

I attach a photo from the mentioned book from the Norwegian National Library.

(The author of the books name was Ulvestad, if I remember right).

I was wondering if my great-grandmothers foster-father and uncle Gullik Gulliksen is the same Gullik who setled in Nobles County, (as one of the first setlers there)?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Om meg

Bildet mitt
Overhørte på Rimi Bjørndal, (jeg jobbet som butikksjef/leder i ti år, i mange forskjellige butikker), i 2003, at jeg var forfulgt av 'mafian', mm. Har etter dette ikke fått rettighetene mine, i mange saker. Blogger derfor om problemer med å få rettigheter, mm. Mine memoarer, (Min Bok 1-10), kan også finnes på johncons-blogg, (se: 'Etiketter'). Jeg blogger også om slektsforskning, (etter at min danskfødte mormor, som var etter adelige/kongelige, døde i 2009). Har også vært såvidt innom Høyre/Unge Høyre, i sin tid. Har også studert informasjonsbehandling/IT/Computing, (på NHI, HiO IU og University of Sunderland). Har også bakgrunn fra handel og kontor, (grunnkurs, økonomi med markedsføring og data). Er/var også i Heimevernet, (etter at jeg ble overført dit, etter førstegangstjeneste i infanteriet, (og en rep-øvelse i mob-hæren), i forbindelse med omorganiseringer, i Forsvaret, etter den kalde krigen). Blir også utsatt for mye nettmobbing, mm. johncons-blogg, (og mine memoarer og nettbutikk), er kjent fra TV-programmet Tweet4Tweet, i 2012, (selv om jeg måtte klage, for programmet var veldig useriøst/nedlatende, mm.).
