Lars Kristoffersen Ådland 1841- before 1917
Lars Kristoffersen Ådland was born in 1841 to Kristoffer Eriksen and Gjertrud Karine Larsdatter in Ådland, Karmøy, Norway. He was the youngest of seven children. He was confirmed at the Åkra Church, July 12,1856. According to the 1865 census he was a Snedker [carpenter] by trade. On March 31, 1865 he married Anna Serine Jacobsdatter. Seven children were born to them.
Jakob born: 1866 first married Berta Gurine Larsdatter "came to North America"
Kristoffer born: 1868 married Anna Rafoss "came to North America"
Martin born: 1872 "came to North America"
Gjertrud Karine born: 1875 married Lars Larsen "came to North America"
Anna Lovise born: 1878 married Josef Rasmussen "came to North America"
Janna Sofie born: 1880 married Olaf Berg "came to Canada"
Ola born:1885 "came to North America"
In 1885 Lars and Anna and four of their children, Martin, Gjertrud, Anna and Janna sailed from Stavanger Norway to the USA. I assume that Jakob and Kristoffer had already come to the USA, earlier and Ola was born in the USA. They settled in South Dakota near Hammer which is close to New Effington. An interesting note about Lars is from Jakob Haugen's[Father of Teddy Haugen] write up on Karmøy people who emigrated to North America. He made is this comment. "During 1864 he was to participate in a war with Denmark. He came too late. The day after the last battle they entered Fredericia." I believe all of the Ådlands came to Canada settling between Loreburn and Strongfield. I have been unable to find out when Lars died. I assume it was in South Dakota before they came to Canada. His wife Anna Serine and son Jakob and family and Janna Sofie and Olaf Berg all came to Canada before Josef and Anna Lovise Tjøsvold in 1917. Therefore, I assume Lars Kristoffersen Ådland died and was buried in South Dakota although I could not find his grave in the cemetery at the Ferkingstad Church cemetery North of Hammer South Dakota.

Hi!
I haven't seen you since you couldn't look over the kitchen table, but I sure like what you have done with this blog. (Great name for your blog by the way.)
I really appreciate the effort you have put into it. It is very interesting. I am learning a lot about our family from it.
Thanks again,
Gerry Tjosvold
