We have had quite a break-through on the Olsen Family Tree. Thanks to Joy (Olsen) Barnsdale she found out that we have a large branch of our tree with the surname Dragland.
This was also the name of the town in Norway that our family came from. This information had been lost to us.
Dragland is above the arctic circle and that is probably why Rikard Bernhard Olsen decided to get the heck out of dodge!
The link to the Dragland Family Association is http://www.dragland.org/. You can access the family tree on the left-hand side of the menu bar. You need to click on the top link- Descendants of Nils Hallvardson Limmesand, (1750 - 1804).
Then go down to line 171.1
Rikard Bernhard b: Mar 12 1876. Emigrated to USA. Was married and had many children. Disappeared on his way to buy a farm.
Hmm-what is that all about?
We need now to update the family history to include our missing branch.
More to come...
