Notes:

Born in Uvdal 2/2 Sygardé. Resided in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø between 1850 and 1862. Emigrated to the U.S. in the spring of 1862 with her parents, siblings, and 2 daughters (one by Ola, one by Nils).

Hun hadde datteren Kirsti (1853-) med Nils Trondsen Tune og datteren Anne 1857- med Ola Endresen Ellingbø. Begge barna tok hun med seg da hun dro til Amerika i 1862.

Velgjerd Trondsdtr first married Nils Trondsen TUNE, son of Trond Nilsen WANGENSTEEN (1803-1875) & Berit Andrisdtr HAMRE (1810-1847). Born on 11 Aug 1835 in Tune 36/2 nørre, Nordigarden. Nils Trondsen died in Tune 36/2 nørre, Nordigarden on 29 Sep 1879, he was 44. Buried in Vang kirkegård.

They had one child:
i. Kirsti Nilsdtr. Born in 1853 in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø. Emigrated in 1862 to the USA.

Hun fikk datteren Anne i 1857 med en som het Ola.

Velgjerd Trondsdtr second married Ola Endresen ELLINGBØ2,3. Resided in Fisher, Minnesota USA. Emigrated in 1866 to the USA.2

They had one child:
i. Anne Olsdtr. Born in 1857 in Bøkkadn 33/3 av Ellingbø. Emigrated in 1862 to the USA.

This second reference to emigrating in 1866 and living in Fisher can’t be confirmed. We know that Velgjerd, unmarried, came to the U.S. with her parents in 1862. More likely is that Velgjerd met up with Thorsten Boe when she got to the U.S. and had Berit.

Velgjerd may have died before 1870. Jim’s site says that she died in 28 Dec 1865 in Goodhue County.
