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.

Han to 80 øre paret pluss "manns kost". Hvis han lagde skoene hjemme tok han 1 krone.

Family/Spouse: Vilhelm Olsen LUND. Vilhelm (son of Ole Evensen and Randi Thronsdatter) was born about 1797 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died after 1865. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is probably Marit Olsdatter Syndrol, I17705 in Jim’s VS. That is assumed here and is consistent with the bygdebok (Vang A, p.828).

Eugene shows Knut as having three sisters: Dorthea, Marit, and ?. The 1865 Norwegian census, at which time Marit Olsdatter was a widow on Viland øvre in Vang, Knud and Dorthe (b. 1848) were the only two children living with Marit.

She was living wih Knut and Marit in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1875 census.

An 88 year-old Marit, born in Norway, is living with Knut and Julia in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1895 Minnesota state census.

Altarking’s Tarbox Family Tree incorrectly calls her Maren Evensdatter. (Maren E gave birth to an Ole on 22 Oct 1832. The father was Tosten Olsen Søndre-Bøe.)

Notes:

She is Marit Torsteinsdatter Syndrol, I7028, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. She is I13907 in Jim’s VS.

Knut and Marit were from different Søndrol farms and may be distant cousins.

In the 1865 Norwegian census, she was 19 years old, still single, and living with her parents and siblings on Søndrohl, mitre in Vang.

Vang A, p. 816, says she came to the U.S. in 1865. Earl Knutson’s research of the West Norway Lake Lutheran Church says that Marit died in 1883.

According to a Norway Lake church record, she came to Norway Lake in 1872.

She is not listed in the 1885 state census.

Died:
Kevin Thompson’s Find A Grave entry for her says 1883.

Family/Spouse: Knut Torsteinsson SØNDROL. Knut (son of Torstein Knudsen SØNDROL and Marit Olsdatter SYNDROL) was born on 9 Aug 1837 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1905 in Minnesota; was buried in West Norway Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Sunburg, Norway Lake Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota.

Notes:

In the 1865 Norwegian census, she was an unmarried 15 year-old living with her parents and siblings on Søndrohl, mitre.

In the 1900 Norwegian census, she was probably the Anne Torsteinsdatter, b. 1851, who is living with her husband and two children on the Myre farm in Vang. Her husband is Ole Toressen, b. 1841, and the two children living with them are Knut Olssen, b. 1891 (”søn, søger smaaskolen”) and Gjertrud Olsdatter, b. 1893. Neither the marriage nor the birth of the two children is recorded in the Vang church books.

Notes:

She is Randi Torsteinsdatter Syndrol, I7080, in Jim’s VS.

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.”

In the 1900 federal census, she and her second husband, Thosten Hollen, and her and their children lived in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County. Randi came to the U.S. in 1869 and Thosten in 1866. Randi had had 10 children, 9 still living. The children from her first marriage that were living with her were Baldor, 14 (b. Feb 1886), Nordal, 12 (b. Jan 1888), and Walter, 9 (b. July 1890).

In the 1905 state census, Tosten and his and her children still lived in Kerkhoven. 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).

She is Ronda Flaten on her death certificate. In that certificate, she is identified as a widow living at 2011 2-1/2 Street in Minneapolis. She married at 19 and had 10 children, 8 of whom were still alive at her death. No informant is named on her death certificate. She died of pulmonary tuberculosis which she had had for “8 or 10 years.” Her father was Thosten Sondrol and her mother was unknown. She was buried at “Layman’s.”

Carole Heimdahl’s write-up for nllha.org:

Ole Thostenson and Anna Lassesdatter, Charter members West Norway Lake Church
Ole Thostenson was born 26 October 1832 the oldest child of Torsten Knudsen Sondrohl and Marith Olsdatter Sondrohl [ 1807-1898] in Vang local parish, Valdres Parish, Oppland, Norway.
Ole left Vang local parish for Laerdal Parish, Sogn og Fjordane 10 March 1865. He signed out as Ole Tostenson Sondrolejet.
He married Anna Lassesdater 22 April 1865 in Laerdal Parish and they left for America 30 April 1865. Ole’s sister Marit Tostensdatter may have traveled with them. She signed out of Vang Parish for America 12 April 1865. Ole’s mother Marith, brother Knut and sister Dorthe followed in 1866.
Anna Lassesdatter was born 26 Oct 1842, the 8th child of Lasse Torrissen Laerdalsore [1792-1885] and Ragnild Olsdatter [1800-1894] in Laerdal Parish, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway.
The families first recorded residence is in Rice County. Their first child is born there and baptized at Holden Lutheran church on 6 Jan 1867.

They moved to Swift County and settle in Kerkhoven Township. Ole homesteaded 160 acres as Ole Thompsen in sec 26 [NW1/4]. This adjoined the farm of his sister Marit and husband Tosten Quamme in section 26{NE 1/4]. He also purchased 40 acres in Sec 23 [SW1/4 of SE 1?4] as Ole T. Sondrol. He received the title to his homesteaded property 1 April 1876. Ole and Tosten were 2 of several families from Valdres Parish to move from Rice and Goodhue counties in the late 1860’s settle in Kerkhoven Township.
Ole and Anna have 5 more children in Kerkhoven Township

Ole signed the 1875 charter using his birth name Ole Thostenson, but added Sondrol to his name in the 1876 baptismal record of his daughter Regina. By the 1880 census he is just Ole or Ole T. Sondrol.
Ole’s brother Knut Sondrol and wife Marit, sister Marit and husband Tosten Quamme and sister Dorthe and husband Ole H. Hande are also charter members of West Norway Lake Church and have their own biographies.

Family/Spouse: Anne Lassesdatter SINJARHEIM. Anne was born on 25 Oct 1842 in Lærdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway; died in North Dakota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 24 Sep 1837, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

He is Knut Torsteinsson Villand, I7029, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. That’s also what the bygdebok calls him (Vang A, p. 816).

He is I13908 in Jim’s VS, which shows him as born on Syndrol 48/1 Villand.

Knut and Marit were from different Søndrol farms and may be distant cousins. Jim calls him Knut Torsteinsson Villand.

The Norway Lake Lutheran church records have this entry for him: “Knut T. Sondrol, born in Balders. Came to the U.S. with his mother. Married Marit Tostenson, born in Balders. Came to Norway Lake 1872. Married second time with Julia Brandvold, born in Solor. Came to Norway Lake in 1883.”

In the 1875 Minnesota census, he (as Knut T Sonderal) and his family live in Kerkhoven Twp.

In the 1880 census, Knut and Marit lived with their family in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County. The household consists of Knut, 42, Marit, 33, Tosten, 7, Theodor, 4, Ole, 3, and Mina 5 months. Also living in the household is Marit Sundrol, 73, mother, and Ole Johnson, 21, servant.

In the 1885 state census, Knudt is apparently a widower. The family lives in Kerkoven Twp. Julia Brandval, 32, already is listed as part of his household.

In the 1900 census, Knudt and Julia and family (indexed as Sandral) live in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County, Minnesota. Living with them are four of Knudt’s sons (Thosten, Theodore, Ole, and Martin) and Clara, his daughter with Julia.

Not listed in the MHS death index so he may have died before 1904.

Earl Knutson’s write-up for nllha.org:

Knut and Marit Sondrol, Charter Members of West Norway Lake Lutheran Church
Baptism records show that Knut Tostenson Sondrol was born 9 August 1837 in Vang, Oppland, Norway. The parents are Tosten Knudsen Sondrahle-Eie and Marith Olsdatter.
Knut “Thorstajnson” appears in the 1865 census from Vang. The listed residence is the farm called Viland Øvre and his housemates are his widowed mother Marit Olsdatter and his sister Dorthe Thorstajnsdatter. Their birth years are 1806 and 1848, respectively.
Knut Tostenson, along with his mother Marit Olsdatter and sister Dorthe Tostensdatter are in the passenger list of the ship Fredrick Peterson that sailed from Bergen, Norway on May 1, 1866 and arrived in Quebec on June 2, 1866. All three have the last name Sønderol and hail from Vang Valdres. Their ages are 30, 59 and 16, respectively. (Dorthe’s age mismatches that from the census by 3 years.) It is surprising that they left from Bergen, as that is a long way, across mountains, from Vang.
The name Knut T. Søndreol appears thrice as a parent in baptism records from the Norway lake Congregation. The children are Tosten (born 14 Nov 1872), Theodor (born 4 August 1875), and Martin (born 16 September 1881) The mother of all three is Mari (or Marit) Thostensdatter.
Regarding Marit, her birth and emigration information are uncertain. Census records, below, state that she was born in Norway. There are two possibilities from Vang Parish. She could be from other areas of Norway as well.
The 1875 census of Swift County has Knut T. “Sonderal,” age 38, and Marit, age 28. With them are Tosten, age 2, and Marit Olson, age 69. (By coincidence, both the mother and the wife are named Marit.)
The 1880 census of Kerkhoven Township, Swift County has Knut Sundrol (age 42, born Norway) and Marit (33, born Norway). Others: “Fosten” (7), Theodor (4), Ole (3), Mina (5 months) and Marit Sundrol (mother, 73).
Knut’s wife Marit passed in 1883. This is indicated by a grave marker at the West Norway Lutheran Church, which reads Marit Sondrol, 1847-1883.
Knut (here spelled Knudt, age 47) is also in the 1885 census, same township. The children in the household are: Tosten, 12; Theodor, 9; Ole, 6; and Martin, 3. Others in the household are: Julia Brandvol, age 32, and Ole Bjornson, 22. Knut’s mother Marit Olsdatter, age 78, is listed in the neighboring house. Very likely, Julia was hired to keep house and raise the children after Marit’s death. Eventually, Knut and Julia married.
In the 1895 census of Kerkhoven Township, Swift County, we find Knut T. Sondrol (age 57, born in Norway, in MN 29 years, in enumeration district 26 years) and Julia Sondrol (age 48?, born in Norway, in MN and the enumeration district 22 years). There are 5 children, aged 2 to 22, all born in Minnesota, and an adult, Marit Sondrol, age 88, born in Norway.
The 1900 census of Kerkhoven Township, Swift County has Knudt T. Sandrol (born August 1837 in Norway, immigrated 1866) and Julie Sandrol (born April 1852 in Norway, immigrated 1882). Also in the house are 4 sons and a daughter, all born in Minnesota.
In the 1905 census of Kerkhoven Township, Swift County, MN we find Knut T. Sondrol (age 67), born in Norway, a state resident for 39 years, and a resident of the enumeration district for 36 years. Also in the household are Julia (53), born in Norway, an enumeration district resident for 22 years and 10 others, ages 32 to 5 months, all born in Minnesota. Included are a daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren.
The above census record shows that Knut arrived in Swift County in 1869, having lived the prior three years at another Minnesota location. That location is not known.
Among the many Sondrol grave markers at the West Norway Lake Lutheran Church are these:
Knut T. Sondrol, 1837-1905
Marit Sondrol, 1847-1883.
Julie K. Sondrol, 1852-1932.

Knut’s mother Marit Olsdatter deserves special mention. A widow, she emigrated at age 59. In a more gender-equal world, she would surely have been listed as a charter member of the West Norway Lake Church. Records at the Swift County Historical Society state that she died 23 March1898. Her place of interment is not recorded.

Birth:
Eugene has this date as 8 Aug 1837 and place of birth as Vestre Slidre in Valdres.

Died:
Eugene has Knut’s death as 9 Jun 1905. Knut is listed in the 1905 Minnesota state census. Find A Grave says 1906.

Family/Spouse: Marit Torsteinsdotter SØNDROL. Marit (daughter of Torstein Olsson SÖNDROL and Ragndi Olsdotter ELLINGBØE) was born on 3 Mar 1847 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died before 1885 in Minnesota; was buried in West Norway Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Sunburg, Norway Lake Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Knut married Julie Johannesdatter (Julia K) BRANDVOLD about 1888. Julie was born in Apr 1852 in Brandval, Hedmark, Norway; died on 22 Sep 1932 in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota; was buried in West Norway Lake Lutheran Cemetery, Sunburg, Norway Lake Twp, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 14 May 1845, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

The bygdebok, Vang A, p. 829, has her having a son Knut in 1869 with Knut Guttormsson Oldre. The Vang church records confirm this. The unmarried Marit Tostensdatter Söndrol, b. 1845, and the unmarried Knud Guttormsen Oldre, b. 1848, were the parents of Knud Knudsen who was born 2 Dec 1869 and was baptized 13 March 1870. It was the first instance or leirmaal for the pair.

The baptismal sponsors for the child were Ole Nielsen Kattevold, Iver Olsen Söndrol-eie, Einar Iversen Söndrol, Sigrid Olsdatter Kattevold, and Randi Tostensdatter Söndrol.

Carole H’s write-up for the Norway Lake church indicates that the Marit who married Tosten Olson Quamme came to the U.S. in 1865 and married him in 1867. But that doesn’t work for this Marit. So we don’t know who the Marit was who married Tosten Olson Quamme in Minnesota.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1933-MN-006378
• Baptism: 25 Dec 1848, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

In the 1875 Minnesota census, she seems to have been called Berthe. She and her husband Ole H. and their family live in Kerkhoven Twp, Swift County. Next on the census form listing is her brother Knut and his family (and whose household contains their mother.)

Eugene has her marrying Ole H. Hande. That Ole H Hande was living in Kerkhoven Twp in the 1885 Minnesota census.

Dorothy was the widow of Ole. She had been in Sunburg for 12 years and 66 years in the U.S. She died from bronchitis and influenza complicated by senility. The informant for her death certificate was John Hystad of Sunburg.
