Olga Wold
ancestry
Glen Anderson contacted me in November 2006 having seen the Hendricks website and was enjoying sharing the information
over the phone with his mother Olga Wold Andersen. I sent him a pdf file of his ancestry showing that his lineage joins everyone's that came
from Singsaas and goes back to Jens Vinsnes who died about 1619. We are all cousins!

I thought it would be interesting to show him how the lineage was found and decided to show a few pages from
the Singsaasboka that contains his lineage. Names change based on the farm on which a family lived, and at this point,
we are in the Buset farm and have that name.
Tree from Olga through Sven Buset - 1724:
Now, from the Singsaasboka - look in the middle paragraph on the page no. 444 where it says "Berit Elevsdt. fra Oyan, f. ca. 1727, d, 1796, g 1753 m Sven Jonsen fra Mestu'u Buset, f. ca. 1724, d. 1798...."
translated: Berit Elevsdatter Oyan who was born about 1727 and died in 1796 who married in 1753 to Sven Jonsen from Mestu'u (farm) Buset,who was born about 1724 and died in 1798. We would pick up
Sven's lineage by going to the farm named Mestu'u also from Buset - but that's more scanning...
Now follow the lineage through the first person on the 3rd page - Elev, born 1793
"f" means born, "d" means died, "g" or "gift" means marriage, "Barn" means born of these
