Anna Lovise Aadland was born June 29,1878 at Ådland, Karmøy to Lars Kristoffersen and Anna Serine Jakobsdatter She was the sixth child of seven children. She came to the USA in 1885 with her parents, when she was seven years old. They settled as far as I know near Hammer, South Dakota. It was there that Anna met Josef Tjøsvold also an immigrant from Norway. They were married there, and farmed on a quarter section of land that ran right up to the border between South Dakota and North Dakota. Grandma Olida spoke of running across the border as kids. I assume that Lars Kristoffersen her father passed away here and her brother Jacob and her mother Anna moved to Strongfield, Saskatchewan, Canada. As well her younger sister Janna Sofie had married Olaf Berg and moved to Strongfield. In 1917 Josef and Anna Lovise and family moved to a farm just outside of Strongfield. It was on this farm that my grandparents Joel and Olida were married in 1926 and here that my dad David was born in 1927. When I was very young I remember visiting the farm when Rudolf and Florence Tjøsvold, Dawn and Danny lived there. I also remember being babysat there the day of Great grandma Anna Lovise's funeral at Skudesnes Lutheran Church. I have a number of memories of Great grandma. I remember her visiting and staying at my grandparents. I also remember visiting her at the Lutheran Sunset home in Saskatoon. Great grandma Tjøsvold I'm told cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Lutheran Sunset home in Saskatoon. She also used to like to take the plane from Saskatoon to Edmonton to see her children and grandchildren in Edmonton. Anna Lovise passed away in Saskatoon, in 1959 and was buried at Skudesnes Lutheran Church Cemetery.

He was baptized and confirmed there and took his schooling there. Josef came to the U.S.A. in 1893 to two uncles who were living in South Dakota. He married Anna Lovise Aadland in South Dakota in 1898. They lived at Hammer, South Dakota which is just out of New Effington. They had some of their children baptized at the Ferkingstad Lutheran Church there. In 1906 they returned to Karmøy, Norway when grandma Olida was only 1 year old. They returned to South Dakota and on March 25, 1917 they arrived in Strongfield, Saskatchewan, Canada. Anna Lovise's brother Jacob, Wife and family and mother Anna Serine and a sister Sofie married to Olaf Berg had already come to Strongfield, Saskatchewan. Josef homesteaded just outside Strongfield. They later moved a house to Strongfield in the 1940's and retired there. (The house now lived in by Arlin and Ruth Olson in Strongfield) Josef had a conversion experience at the Bethania Lutheran Church north of Broderick. Josef became a powerful witness. The family was active in Skudesnes Lutheran Church at Loreburn. He passed away in 21 April 1949 and was buried in the Skudesnes Lutheran Church Cemetery.
