Hi
I am from Alberta. I believe that I can trace my relations back to Skudness or somewhere about there. I believ that the second S and the O with the line thru was dropped during immigration
Sven Hoiness(b Norway) came over with a cousin Ingolf Hoines (m Alice Forss) in the late 1800's. Sven married Leva Helgeland (b Norway, d circa 1966). Moved to RedLodge MT, had a few children. Went back to norway, moved to the Ryley, Bruce, Viking Alberta Area. not sure of off the names of the children. Son Selmer(d 1983) married Martha Powell (b nebraska 1904, m 1928 d Viking AB 1993) 3 Children, Gordon, Benny, Esther. Gordon (b 1930) married Betty Lou Otto(m 1957). Gordon is my grandfather.
I am sure that all the hoines' are related someway or another! There was a hoines reunion held in viking AB sometime in the mid 90's.
Thanks
Brianne Hoines
