The Nysetvold Farm in Norway

This was translated from Norwegian by Håkon Skaugvoll & Olaf Kringhaug in 2001.

G.nr. 32, br.nr. 1, Nysetvold, “Jamtvollen”

The Nysetvold farm in Norway was also known as Jamtvollen. Our Nysetvold ancestor’s have only used the Nysetvold surname name since 1856, when Ole Svendsen Ramlo f.1827 bought the farm. Ole is the father of John Olsen Nysetvold who emigrated to America in 1872. John came to Flom Township in 1878 with his mother, Kari Jonsdatter Hilmo, who never married and only had one child.

Below is a translation by Håkon Skaugvoll in Norway of the Nysetvold Farm in the Haltdalen Bygdebok.

Jens Halstein Nygård :
Haltdalen and Haltdalingen II, page 249 :
-----About Børge Olsen and his wife Guri Estensdtr. and their family ------
Børge was teacher in Aunegrenda and Gildset for some time, but in 1856 he went to America with
the whole family.
Before he left he sold the farm to his brother's son, Ole Svendsen Ramlo, m.t. Anne Larsdtr. Bjørgum.
----Ole is the wellknown Ole Svendsen Nysetvold. It is sure that very few may be nobody who has been
used as much as him in this settlement in municipal and public position af honor. For some time he studied
by a teacher's college to became a teacher. It was the intention that he should be the president of the court
for the reapportioning of farmlands to consolidate strips into single holdings, but an elder man was choosed.
We refer a notice written by J. A. Kvernmo, printed in Adresseavisen in 1912 :
He is son of the wellknown sheriff and president of the reapportioning court, Svend Olsen and wife Marit
Pedersdtr., and b. August 12th 1827, d. 1912. Nysetvold has been used very much in the public life of his own
municipality as well as outside it.. In 1856 he was elected commisioner for the commision of arbitration first
time in Holtålen, and two years later he was elected mayor of the municipality. In 1860 he moved from Holtålen
to Østby in Tydal, where he stayed for three years. After his return to Holtålen he again was elected commisioner
for the commision of arbitration in 1864, and mayer once more in 1866, which assignments he had to 1905. For
the same period he was a member of the road-committee of the amt (county), also the head of the committee for
some periods. He was amtsrevisor or county accountant for many years. In 1873 he was elected representative
from Søndre Trondhjems Amt to the Storting, and represented the amt for two periods. For a period he was used
by almost evry reapportioning of the farmland in Guldalens court of law, and many times he temporarily was appointed
as chief of the court. In the same way he was used by other public assessments. In 1903 he was given the silver
medal for outstanding civic service by the King. In his latest years he lived on his farm by his son-in-law. To the end
he had both his physical and mental strength intact. Thus he up to a few years ago, he went the 8 kilometers from
his home to the church. And when he was at home he steadyli work with woodcutting.
The author of the bygdeboook says that there is not much to add. Nysetvold, Gammel-Jamtvollen was no speaker, to make speeches he found difficulty. But he was a man with high intelligence and good practical judgement. And at first and at the end : he was an outstanding writer. And he had a beatiful handwriting. The pen was his strength. And he wrote a lot. It is told that his fingers was so use to the pen that they were never rested even if he did not wrote., and the fingers were the latest of his muscles to move when he died in 1912.
------
In 1905 Ole Svendsen Nysetvold sold the farm to his son-in-law, Ole P. Brændås, 1858 - 1941, who was married to Beret.

f. Anna Marie, b. 1901, m.t. Arne Randmæl, Alvdal.
-------
Ole P. Brændås came to the valley as shoemaker, and stayed here. He was very much given positions of honor. All the time very keen and interested. He was one of them who established the society concerned with the problems of hygiene and health. In many years he worked for the Digre company as a chief for the woodcutters and the log rafters. In addition he was an ardent and interested hunter and fisherman, and he was one of those who established the Haltdalen Hunter and fishing association, and was a member of honor. He worked also for the temperance cause and christian works.

In 1924 he sold the farm to his first son, Ole Olsen Nysetvold, for NOK 3100.

Norwegian Naming Practices by Olaf Kringhaug

Olaf wrote the following for our Flom & Area 125th Anniversary book. It well explains the naming practices so everyone should understand.

Norwegian naming practices are unique and can be a bit confusing. Traditionally, there were three parts, the first name, the patronymic and the farm name such as Erik Jonsen Bakke, and we'll deal with them in turn.
First names are simple, there are the ancient Norse names such as Olaf, Håkon, Bjørn and Erik. When Christianity came in the 11th century there was a profusion of Christian names such as Peder, Jon, Paul and Johan.
There was a tradition that was fairly rigidly followed until the 19th century. Children were usually named after a grandparent or other family members. A first son would be named after his father's father, a second son after the mother's father. A similar situation occurred with daughters. This could get a little complicated if both grandparents had the same name. Using our example, if there were two Erik Jonsens in the family, they might be distinguished as Big-Erik and Little-Erik.
Children could also be named after deceased uncles and aunts and even deceased siblings and occasionally after a great-grandparent. Quite commonly a widowed spouse in a second marriage would name the first child after the deceased spouse.
Patronyms are probably the most confusing aspect of Norwegian naming practices. The name patronym or patronymic derives from late Latin patronymicum from patr- (father) + onyma (name)]: a name derived from that of the father or a paternal ancestor usually by the addition of a suffix.
In the case of Norway this was practiced by adding the suffix '-sen' (son) or '-datter' (daughter) to the father's name. For example if Jon had a son Erik, he would be known as Erik Jonsen, or a daughter might be known as Marit Jonsdatter. The patronym was not a surname but just an expression of who their father was. Women would retain their patronym when they married.
Then there are the farm names. All farms in Norway have a name, in addition to the Land Registry numeric descriptions. Most of these farm names are a geographic description of the farm. Bakke or Bakken, for example means a hill and the name would be applied to a farm up the hill. Since there might be more than one Erik Jonsen in a community, they would be distinguished by adding the farm name to the rest of their name. Our man might be known as Erik Jonsen Bakke, or commonly just Erik Bakke. Again, these were not surnames. Erik Jonsen Bakke only means Erik, Jon's son, who lives on the Bakke farm. The Bakke can be considered an address.
As society modernized and the state became more involved in people's affairs, this system became a problem. So, in the late 1800s the government asked people to voluntarily take a fixed surname and for women to drop the -datter in favour of -sen and, when married, to take their husband's surname. It was made compulsory in 1923. Most people used patronymic surnames when they settled the issue of a surname.
An interesting observation. Iceland, which was settled by Norwegians, still retains the old patronymic system. It may seem strange to us, but people refer to each other by first name and even the telephone books are listed by first names.

Erland Hanssen Kjorstadmoen & Beret (Nielsdatter Loften) Skansgaard

Erland Hansson Kjorstadmoen was born in Sor Fron, Oppland, Norway to Hans Hansen and Anne Jacobsdatter on December 4, 1827. He was baptized and confirmed in Norway. His parents were not married and went on to marry others. He married Beret Nielsdatter Loften on November 27, 1851. Beret was the daughter of Niels Erichsen and Ragnil Thronsdatter. She was born in 1825 in Sodorp, Nor Fron, Oppland, Norway. She had the following siblings: Johannes, Kari, Thore, Mari, Mari and Erik Nielsen Loften.
The family is found living on the Skansgaard farm in the 1865 census of Norway and the 1875 census of Norway. Skansgaard was a small farm under Kjorstad in Sor-Fron. It was a husmannsplass. It was named Skansgaard when a husman came back from a war and named it so. The name is not rooted in farm names in Fron. Loften was a husmannsplassar in Nord-Fron.
Not much is known about Amund and Niels. Amund was born on January 10, 1859 and Niels was born on October 11, 1854. Amund emigrated from Bergen, Norway on March 24, 1880 on the Stjerne Line. His place of residence was given as Haus. The day before, on March 23, 1880, his brother Niels emigrated from Bergen, Norway on the Inman Line. His place of residence was given as Haus. It is not known if the brothers were in this area when they came here. We do know that they lived on the West Coast, probably in Washington State. Amund changed his name to Edward Holmer and Niels changed his name to John Ring. It is known that Amund/Edward worked on “Bergen’s banen” in Norway in 1880. The road was built at that time from Bergen to Voss. Amund/Edward also used the name A.E. Holm. He stated in one letter to his parents that he had changed his name because it was hard for people to pronounce Skansgaard. Both men were known to have been in the Salt Lake City, Utah area at the turn of the century. One letter was received from Niels/John that was written on April 29, 1894 from a hospital in Salt Lake City. He talks of being very sick and about going to San Francisco to receive treatment from a Chinese doctor. That letter he signed Neils Erlandson. Amund/Edward died in 1936 in Washington State it is presumed. A letter was received from the Royal Norwegian Consulate in Seattle, Washington. It was to do with an estate that was left after his death.
Erland and Beret emigrated from Oslo, Norway on April 25, 1884 on the Rollo. Their passage was prepaid, more than likely by one of their sons who were already all in America. Their place of residence was S. Fron and Storback was their destination in America. They landed in Quebec, Canada in May of 1884. Starbuck, Minnesota is where they first went to when they arrived here. His contract #16575 with Allan Brothers & Co. for his and Beret’s passage, reads as follows:
Erland Hansen has received of the undersigned, (against payment of passage-money, including landing money in Quebec, Boston, Halifax, Portland or Baltimore, as specified) Through ticket #16575 for 2 adults to be forwarded to Starbuck, Minn. in the following manner:
1. By Steam-Ship to Hull, where the separate Steam-Ship ticket is to be given up;
2. By Railway to Liverpool;
3. By Steam-Ship to Quebec, Boston, Halifax, Portland or Baltimore;
4. By Railway to destination.
During the whole journey hence to America, passengers will be supplied with good and sufficient food as well as with suitable lodging; and this arrangement stands equally good in the event of any unavoidable delay or accident interrupting the journey, which in that case will be continued as soon as possible in a satisfactory manner.
Passengers must attach a full and plain address to each of their luggage packages.
10 Cubic feet Luggage per Steam Ship and 100 pds per. Railway free for each passenger above 12 years old; for children between 1 and 12 years of age, half the quantity.
On arriving in England, passengers must not hasten to go on shore, but wait until they are fetched by our Correspondents’ people, who will make themselves known by showing a list of all the Passenger’s names.
Passengers should not have any dealings with Interpreters. Tins and bedding should be bought in Norway or in Liverpool.
On arriving at America, Passengers must be careful not to let themselves be persuaded to take Lake-Steamer tickets instead of their railway tickets.
Passengers should hold to this contract and show it as often as they have occasion, but not give it up until they arrive at their destination.
A deposit of 20,000 Norwegian Kroner has been made to the Norwegian Government as security for due fulfillment of this contract.
E. H. Skansgaard made his Declaration of his intention to become a citizen in Pope County of Minnesota. He could not write, so he signed with an X and it was witnessed by A.L. Brevig. We do not know how long they stayed in the Starbuck area.
When they came to Flom Township, they lived in Section 27 on a farm.
Beret died May 24, 1898 and Erland died November 29, 1909. They are both buried in Aspelund Lutheran Church Cemetery in Flom Township of Norman County, Minnesota.

Mrs. Julia Bakke 100 Years Old Today If Mrs. Julia Bakke of rural Fertile manages to blow out all the candles on her birthday cake today she will no doubt be granted any wish she had in mind as there will be 100 candles on it. Mrs. Bakke's health is fair and she is able to be about the house doing some of her own work every day. She knows she is pretty old but isn't quite sure if she is 100 or not. Her children have been keeping track of her birthdays for her. Dispite her age, she is up and around everyday. Mrs. Bakke speaks mostly Norwegian and answers questions through her children most of whom also speak norwegian. One hundred years ago today, Julia Gertrude Skulborstad Bakke was born at Stjordalen near Trondheim, Norway. She lived there until she was 17 years old and left for America, April 10, 1871 on the Stavangerfjord ship celebrating her 18th birthday on board ship before she landed in Quebec, Canada on May 1. From Quebec, she travelled by train and boat to Zumbrota, Minnesota. where she lived about one year. In 1872, she married Ole Bakke who died in 1910 in Polk County, Minnesota. They farmed in the Kenyon area until 1887, when they filed a claim on a homestead in Minot, ND, where they lived until 1890 when they moved to Garden township near Fertile. Mrs. Bakke has made her home on that farm ever since. A mother of 14 children, ten which are still living. Mrs. Bakke has been a member of the Little Norway Lutheran Church since 1892 and also a member of the Ladies Aid of the church since that time.

Church Records state she was born May 9, 1853 and baptized June 19, 1853.
