Hi Norman,
I am the great grandaughter of Even J Hommes brother Osmund Homme.I have information for you regarding their previous generations...
Their fathers birth name was Johan Eivindson Kosi, born 9/9/1816 in Skafsa, Norway, and died 12/16/1885 in Houston, Mn. He changed his name upon arrival in the US to Johan E Homme.Johans father was Eivind Anderson, his mother was Haege Jansdatter, birth and death information not yet determined.
Their mother was Kari Johansdatter born 6/2/1819 in Moland Parish, Norway, and died 11/16/1899 in Houston County, MN.Her father was Johan Henrik Lind born in Hjartdal Norway, dates unknown, and her mother was Bergit Herjusdatter Skre, born 1785 Hjartdal, Norway.Bergits parents areHerjus Osmundson Kil, born 1795 Kil, Norway, died 1795 Norway.Her mother was Kari Helvasdatter Breivik, born 1742 in Breivik Norway, died 1810 Norway.
Many of the Homme family are buried in the Old Stone Church Cemetary in Houston, MN, along with members of the Skre family as well.A great great grandson of the Skres, Jim Skre is the cemetary caretaker and church historial.
The Homme Orphan Home in Wittenberg Wisconsin is a great tribute to Even J. Homme.There is information available on the internet about it if you haven't discovered that yet.Most of the buildings are still standing.
Hope this information is helpful. Anything else?Let me know!
Thanks,
Jane
