The information I have was taken from the Oksendal Lutheran Parish. Here is what I know about my grandfather Peter J. (Johnson) Nerdahl. His Father was John Peterson born in 1808.I assume his (John's) father's first name was Peter.His mother was Ingebritsdatter born in 1816.And Ann's father was Ingebright.He had 3 sisters; Ingborg born in 1845; Marit born in 1847; Garu born in 1856. He had 1 brother, Jorgen born in 1858.Peter left Norway when he was 15 because Jorgen was the oldest male and would inherit the farm.Marit and Guru went to America and Ingborg & Jorgen stayed in Norway.Marit married Ingrebrit Lokken and they farmed near Aneta, North Dakota.Guru taught school near Aneta and later return to Norway.
During my search of parish records there were 81 people at the nerdal farm.What is interesting is that people living on nerdal farm shows up in the following Municipalities; Roan -36, Frei -5, Sigdal - 29, Faberg -11,
I found the following in the municiality of Roan; Johansdatter, Elen born in 1851 and place of birth was shown as Bjorner; Johansdatter, Fredrikka born in 1865 (Bjorner); Johansen, Jacob born in 1859 (Bjorner.I don't know if Bjorner is town, farm or municipility.
There was a Norval Nerdahl living near Sharon, N. D. which is about 12-15 miles from Aneta.As far as I know they were not related to Peter J. Nerdahl.
I have been communicating with decedants of my grandfather's brother, Jorgen, and my grandfather's sister Ingorg.I plan to visit them in July 2006.One of the decendant's of Jorgen own's the nerdal farm and use it as a second home. I plan to share the info you sent to me with them.Maybe they can be helpful.
It is possible that we may be related in some way.But, is so difficult to trace norwegians because they took the name of the farm or community that they resided at that time.
I am 75 years old and was raised in the Aneta, N.D. community. I live in Arizona now.
As Ever,
Sidney Nerdahl
