Helge was the clerk of the Gibson/Zander school district between 1880 and 1898.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jim Ellingboe puzzled: What happened to her illegitimate son Niels? Why was she listed in the church book at time of Niel's birth with surname Ellingbøe if she was from Nordland/Lerohl? Was she working on the Ellingbø farm?

She was also shown as Berit Andersdatter Ellingböe on her marriage record in the church book.

Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:

The JCC record (copy in Manitowoc public library) says that Knud Sandness died on 8 April 1895 and was born on 22 June 1829.

Knud's brother Tosten had immigrated in 1849, via Wisconsin, to Decorah, Iowa. That Tosten was the father of Anne Sandness (#4574).

The Thompson (Sandness) family emigrated in 1852 via Quebec. On steamship Atlantic when it sank in Lake Erie. They survived the sinking of the steamship Atlantic in Lake Erie on their way to Wisconsin. In 1852, Knud Thompson (Sandness) (1829-1929) and Anne Torgeirsdatter Strande (1819-1889) arrived in Wisconsin with two children. Five more children were born to them in Wisconsin.

Lived in Two Rivers Twp in 1855. Worked for Two Rivers Tannery in 1856. He was farming in Gibson Twp by 1870.

Knud Thompson served in the Civil War. Enlisted as private in Co. H, 22nd Wisconsin Infantry during Civil War, 5/01/1865 to 17/05/65. Transferred to 3rd Regiment.

His surname was listed as Windingstad or Vindingstad in Church Book records. His birth and christening records are found in Slidre Kirkebok No. 2, p. 329, Births, and on microfilm reel of Ø. Slidre Kirkebok, p. 336, reel # 0125644. His vaccination record is found in Slidre Kirkebok No. 4, p. 186, Vaccinations, #81, 6 Dec. 1843.

Jim Ellingboe says: The Thompson (Sandness) family came from the adjoining {to Vang i Valdres} county of East Slidre. Last year I visited the ruins of the house on the farm Sannes (Sandness) on Windingstad where they lived in before leaving Norway.

Named Knut Sandness in burial record. Knud and Anne are buried in the Jambo Creek Cemetery. There is some confusion regarding the inscription on the gravestone of both Knud and Anne Thompson. "HUSTRUTIL " means "wife of". A separate entry for Anne based on Jambo Creek Church records is mistakenly read as 7 Dec. 1889, whereas it should be 1 Dec. 1889 and the age should be 71, not 78. This is the same as the information on the stone, i.e., not a separate person. Knud is listed in the Jambo Creek Church burial records as "Knud Sandness".

Birth:
Windingstad. 22 Jun 1829 in Jambo Creek Church burial record.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Farmer

Notes:

According to usual practice, he would have owned the farm, but most likely he wasn't very healthy, because his brother-in-law Pål Kristoffersson took over in 1785. Andris lived at home. His "pension" and that of his mother were received from Pål and the pension agreement was renewed in 1807. He died on the farm as a pauper, supported by the community. It seems that the family lived at Haga, a subfarm under Jøvne for a time ca. 1810, but otherwise they lived at Nordland Sygarden, no 57/1.

Knutson Montgomery Family Tree has her birth date as 1792.

Birth:
Windingstad 33/12 Bakken, Ø.S. See also 1801 Census.

Notes:

In a transcribed list of baptisms from the Slidre church book records, Torger (christened 9 Oct 1791) was the illegitimate son of Torger Olson Windingstad and Barbro Knudsdotter. He was a soldier and she was a "pige".

His father had another illegitimate son name Torgeir in 1800.

In 1795, Barbro married Lars Gullikson Tüf and her son Torger Torgerson must have been raised on the Tüf farm. In the 1801 Census Torger was age 9, living with Lars Gullichsen and his wife Barbroe Knudsdatter in Røens Annex, Slidre, Christians Amt.

It is reasonable to assume that he became the crofter on the plot of land on the farm Tüf, in V. Slidre, that had a crofter's place that was once called Torgersplassen. It is now 84/2 Moen. Torger's son, Knut Torgersson, bought it in 1856 and sold it to Ole Knutsen Robøle (Raabøle) from Øystre Slidre in 1859. 

Torgeir married Anne Knudsdotter KAARSTAD on 17 Jan 1819 in Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Anne (daughter of Knud Tollevsen and Anne Iversdatter) was born about 1794 in Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
