My sister tells me that this was the Norwegian homestead of the Norwegian part of the family mot very far from the time emigration."As I See It Today" could be the title of this new iteration of my main blog. The "It" would then be the following themes with which I intend to deal here: ~ history ~ politics, economics, government ~ family tree ~ people, places, ~ culture, society ~ dialogue and a bit of me

Early Ancestors
As I understand the results of my sister's research, my earliest confirmed ancestors are from Norway. They are on my paternal side by way of my maternal grandmother.
I think that I remember my sister telling me that she found the Norwegian tax records and Parish records a satisfying source of documentation.
I'll name those ancestors:
They are Johan Johanesen and his wife Mari Andreasdatter. As they are family and I am old, I think that I can comfortably use their firs names. Johan was born in Norway in the year 1733. He married Mari on March 31st of 1805. He died in 1836 in Nesodden Parish and is buried at Nesodden Kirke. Mari was born in Norway in 1773. She died there in 1839 and is buried at Nesodden Kirke. Johan and Mari had one son, Andreas Johansen.Wish someone would tell me some stories of the pre-1700 Nesodden area.
