Her family farm name was called Sönderold in her birth record.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, she is 12 years old and living with her parents and siblings on Søndrohl, mitre, in Vang.

This Randi is the Rangdi Søndvol to whom Ove Ovesen Ellingbø refers in his 1896 letter to his mother. According to Trudy: “She first married Torstein Flaten from Bøaflatadn in Vang. They lived in Minneapolis until Torstein died in 1895. She took the children back to Norway for a few months and then went back to Minnesota, settling in Sunburg where she married Torstein Hollen, born in Hoverstad 63 in Vang. He was a widower with children. They had 2 children. She died in Minneapolis in 1909 and he died in Sunburg in 1930. I don't know if they stayed married or not.”

Called “Maude” in the 1885 state census.

In the 1895 Minnesota census, she (Randa) and her family lived at 1604 E. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Tosten, 47, was a “dairyman.”

Rangdy, however, along with four of her children from her first marriage were living separately on a farm in Murdock, Kerkhoven Twp. Rangdy and her children are listed with the last name Flattan. Those children are: Baldor, 19, Nordahl, 17, Valtor, 14, and Meble, 12. They live next door to Ole and Sigre Ellestad (#1953 and #1956).

Jim’s notes:

Han fikk skjøte av broren Asbjørn den 8.7.1894 for 349 rd. Asbjørn hadde selv gitt 259 rd for gården i 1791. Her var det altså ikke snakk om søsken rabatt, eller så var inflasjonen så sterk på den tiden.

Ola og Dorte har også barna: KNUT (1797-1868) gm Dorte Persdtr Flaten (1809-1843) de hadde barna: Dorte, Ola og Per som alle døde små eller i ungdomsårene. Knut ga gården videre til broren Torstein som hadde vært husmann på Kletto så lenge Knut drev gården. Ågot (1800-1801) Ågot (1801-1885) ugift, døde på Lajord JOHANNES (1804- ) han var innerst på Syndrol før han dro til USA med kona Marit Øysteindtr Myreeiga som han giftet seg med i 1857. de hadde barna OLA (1857- ) og Knut (1859- ) da de reiste. OLA (1810- 12.1.1831)

Ola var vanfør. En hest hadde slått istykker det ene benet hans da han var liten, så han måtte ligge i 7 år. Mens han lå spikket han skjeer, sleiver og leker til ungene, spesielt var han flink til å spikke hester med sleder. På Øylo hotell ble dis se sakene hans solgt til god pris. Han lagde også feler og spilte selv endel på fele, uten at han ble noen mesterspillemann.

Da han kom opp av senga lærte han seg skomakeryrket av Andris Olsen Bø i Budgomshaugen under Sørre Bø. (Andris var en meget kjent skomaker og emisær).

På Olas tid reiste skomakerne rundt på gårdene og satt der og sydde skoene. Arbeidstiden var fra 5 om morgenen til 9 om kvelden. Fra 1902 fikk han seg skomakermaskin med rullefot (ikke trykkfot), Ola lagde pinnesko, når han en sjelden gang lagde "springsko" kjøpte han ferdig ovenpålær. Han lagde en hel del sko av fettlær, som han selv smurte og beredde.
