Ancestors of

Adolf Arntsen Rogstad

I received the following email this evening:

Halla,

I just came across your web on people related from the area of Norway my relatives might have come from - Storen and Rognes. My family name was Rogstad, after the farm name. My great grandfather came from Goteborg and settled in Rognes and married a Norwegian girl from that area. His name was Rudolf Alfred Kjellblad Olson. I have a partial geneology of some of the family that a cousin wrote to me. Are there connections to your family from Storen and Rognes? My father Adolf Arntsen Rogstad was born in Gran but kept his ties to Rognes and Storen. His father was Arnt Olsen Rogstad. My father settled in Los Angeles, Calif. My mother was from Oslo and went to high school in Sarpsborg.

Hilsen,

Evelyn Rogstad Jones

I found some good information in the book BYGDEFOLK OG BYGDELIV I STOREN" and thought it might make sense if I put it on a web page.

For each document found in the book, I precede it with the information it contains - your ancestors are highlighted.
