Family/Spouse: Ragndi Gudbrandsdatter HEEN. Ragndi (daughter of Gudbrand Kristofferson HEEN and Ragndi Torsteinsdatter) was born in 1759 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was a husmand med jord on the Bakken 1 farm in the 1865 census in Vang. Living with him and Margrethe were their son John, their daughter Rangdi, and a foster datter, 10 year-old Magrethe Olsdatter.

The only Endre born in Vang in 1800 or 1801 was Endre, born as illegitimate on 22 Jun to Endre Johanssen and Guri Andfinsdatter of Oldre.

In his VS, Jim calls him Endre Jonson Heensåsen, 1799-1871, I8746. The bygdebok, p. 619, has him as a husmann on Bakkin, apparently a subfarm of Bagetun, from 1829.

Jim’s VS notes:

He is often called Ellingbø, why I do not know. Frøholm writes that the father was Jon Andersson and the mother was Randi Gudbrandsdt who was at Dalsøydegarden.

Frøholm skriver om Bakkin under Baggetun: "Bakkin var den største husmannsplassen under Baggetun, etter Grøv. han låg 200 meter sør for garden, beint mot nord for Grøv. etter festesetelen av 24.6.1829 låg plassen under og opp i Grøvsjordet, og skulle elles ha til forland Rødningen ovafor Grrøvsjordet, vesle Myrslætet oppi li'n og nørdre Stakkstømyridn, to stakksøer i Helevøndale under Langolshøvdo, stølsrettar, rett til 8 hestelass med rå bjørkeved i skogen og raskved av vier o.a. Husmannen skulle svare 4 spd og slå m.a. løoenga Tobakkslætet og skjere eit mål korn når bonden kravde det. Lenge fødde dei ikring 2 kyr, men i 1875 var det 1 hest, 6 kyr, 3 ungdyr, 7 sauer og lam og 1 gris på Bakka. Men vel halvparten av dette fall på Jon Endresen ( sønnen til Endre, HB's anm), som kjøpte Haugo av Ellingbø og dreiv Haugo frå Bakka, slik at han hadde heile buskapen her på Bakka.

Birth:
Heensåsen under 70/1

From the 1910 Norwegian census.

Notes:

Emigrated to the U.S. in 1864.

Notes:

Listed as a foster daughter of her grandparents Endre and Margrete in the 1865 census.

The record of her birth doesn’t suggest anything unusual but the bygdebok describes her as the reputed daughter of Ole and Anne.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 8 Apr 1853, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

She was born before her parents married. Her parents were Ole Vilhelmson Lund and Anne Endresdatter Baggethun. Anders Tollefson Baggethun was the responsible person of the parish for the illegitimate Anne.

The Vang migration records show that she left Vang for Voss in January of 1881 to get married.

Yvonne and her sources believe that Anna died after she and her children arrived in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, on May 12, 1890. Peter arrived in Quebec on Aug 10, 1889. Peter (and maybe Anna and the kids) went on to Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Called Anna Olson in her son Anton’s death certificate, the informant for which was her husband, and Anton’s father, Peter Hultgren of Clarissa.

Anne married Per August (Peter) Pettersen HULTGREN on 12 Apr 1881 in Voss, Hordaland, Norway. Per was born on 2 Jun 1853 in Sweden; died on 26 May 1944 in Todd County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The record of her birth doesn’t suggest anything unusual but the bygdebok describes her as the reputed daughter of Ole and Anne.

Notes:

Shown as age 5 in the 1865 census. Endre is incorrectly shown as age 8. Perhaps Vilhelm was the one who was 8.

May have emigrated and lived in the U.S. as William.

Notes:

He is the “Andrew Ellestad” who Rose refers to in her interview with Evey in the early 1970s. Andrew went to South Dakota with Erick Thompson and Tom Thompson in the mid 1880s. Later Andrew went to Clarissa and was probably the reason that Erick Thompson and family moved to Clarissa.

Rose maintained that her uncle Tom Thompson and Tom’s wife Rangdi Ellestad (Andrew Ellestad’s sister) were 2nd cousins. _That_ implies that either Anne Endrisdatter Baggethun or Ole Vilhelmsen Ellestad were first cousins of Andrew Thompson or Rangdi Kvale. None of that is true.

He is the 69 year-old Endrew Ellestad, husband of Sigrid, father of Evelyn and Clara, living in Clarissa, Todd County, Minnesota, in the 1930 census. He was born in Norway and came to the U.S. in 1882. Endrew was a dairy farmer.

He is the 58 year-old E. O. Ellestad, a carpenter in the village of Clarissa in the 1920 census. He came to the U.S. in 1885.

In the 1910 census, he is a widower in Todd County. His three children are liing with him.

In the 1900 census, he is probably Andrew Ellested living in Ward Twp, Todd County, born Mar 1861 in Norway. He is the husband of Ingebor and the father of Stella, John, and Cora. He came to the U.S. in 1883.

In the 1895 state census, he is living in Eureka Twp, Dakota County. The household consists of Andrew, 33, Ingebor M., 25, Estella, 4, John O., 2, and Cora, 6 months.

The informant for his death certificate was William Duda of Clarissa. (The Dudas lived one farm away from Endre and Ole in the 1910 census. William was 14 years old.) Endre had been in the U.S. for 38 years.

Endre died of stomach cancer.

Endre Olsen was confirmed in Vestre Slidre on 18 Jun 1876. The entry in church book says he was born on 14 Mar 1861, baptized on 28 Jul and there are some other notations that I don’t understand. His farm name is Bagetun Vang Ellestad and his parents were Ole Vilhelmson and Anne Endresdatter.

Sponsors for his baptism were Randi Wilhelmsdatter Lund, Gunhild Andersdatter Ellingboe, Sigrid Jørgensdatter Ellingboe, Endre Johnson Bagethun, and John Endressen Bagethun.

The 42 year-old widower Endre Olsen Ellestad of Clarissa, Minnesota, entered the U.S. at New York aboard the S.S. Celtic on 25 April 1903 following a ten-day voyage from Liverpool. He was still a citizen of Norway. Traveling with him was his brother Ole and their nephew, 22 year-old Ole Knudsen Ellestad of Vestre Slidre.

Endre married Ingeborg Marie MOSCOWS about 1890. Ingeborg was born on 21 Aug 1870 in Minnesota; died on 23 Nov 1900; was buried in Bethel Cemetery, Browerville, Todd County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Endre married Sigrid Neilsdatter HELLE on 27 Dec 1911 in Todd County, Minnesota. Sigrid (daughter of Nils Nilson HELLE and Sigrid Olsdatter HELLE) was born on 18 Apr 1878 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 21 Dec 1958 in Todd County, Minnesota. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Single and living in Ward Twp, Todd County, in the 1900 census. He was born in January of 1864.

The 39 year-old single farmer Ole Olsen Ellestad, a U.S. citizen of Clarissa, Minnesota, entered the U.S. at New York aboard the S.S. Celtic on April 25, 1903, following a 10-day voyage from Liverpool. Traveling with him was his brother Endre and their nephew, 22 year-old Ole Knudsen Ellestad of Vestre Slidre.

Married to Guro and living in Todd County in the 1910 census. He is 44 in that census.

In the Valdris book, the 1920 history and “manual” of the Valdris samband, Ole Ellestad of Browerville is listed as a then-current member and had been a member since 1916.

In the 1920 census, he, 55, and Guro, 46, live in a rented apartment at 419 Bancroft Avenue in Fergus Falls. Ole is a carpenter for a contractor.

Guro was the informant for his death certificate. His residence when he died was Clarissa. He died from heart disease. His parents were Anders Ellestad and Anna Baggethun.

According to the Vestre Slidre church book, he was the son of Ole Vilhelmson and Anne Eivindsdatter (her last name is very hard to read). That Ole seems to have been born on the 20th of January and baptized on the 5th of May.

Notes:

Neither Alison nor Dustin Marson have information on her parents.

Buried as Randi Thompson.

Her birth record in the Vang church book shows her parents as Ole Wilhelmson Veblen and Anne Endrisdatter. Her baptism sponsors were Marthe Evensdatter Weblen, Anne Andersdatter Törstad, Ingrid Somebody’s datter Qvale, Knud Somebody’s son Veblen, and Thron Törstad.

Came to this country in 1884. Came to this country in 1887 according to the 1900 census.

Her 1888 marriage to Thomas A Thompson was witnessed by E.O. Ellestad (the bride’s brother) and Miss Karoline Martinson of the village of Frederick in Brown County.

In the 1900 census, she had had 8 children, 5 still living. In the 1910 census, she is shown as having had 10 children, 7 still living.

Place of birth, date of birth, and mother’s maiden name were not included in her death certificate.

Burial record or gravestone shows 1868 as the year of birth.

The informant for her death certificate was Ingmur Thompson of Farmington. Randi’s residence was Webster. No parents’ names on her death certificate.

Evey believed that Randi and Thomas were first cousins. Rose claimed that the pair were 2nd cousins and that Rangdi was “Andrew Ellestad’s sister.” This genealogy shows they were 5th cousins so there is a disagreement here.

dwfrench1 agrees with the lineage shown here.
