Rcvd from another cousin - Austrum connection
Hans is the brother of
Christopher Austrom, who appears on the previous page of Pat
Wiff's book. Christopher Austrom was married Anne Rasmusdatter
Haugros, whose parents were Rasmus and Marit Haugros.
Hans Austrom was born on Aasen farm, a bruk of the Aasterud
farm in Modum, Buskerud, Norway. His parents were Gudbrand
Hansen Aasen (4 Aug 1792 - 21 Apr 1863) and Kari Helgesdatter
Øverbye (9 Oct 1812 - 12 Oct 1886). He was born in 1835. He
came to the U.S. in 1861, and immediately enlisted in the 2nd
Minnesota Infantry. He later collected a Civil War Pension -
Hans and Christopher actually come from a large family.
There were 8 children total, 5 of whom emigrated to the U.S.
They also had an uncle, called "Lyten" Ole Helgesen who
emigrated to the U.S. He was called "little" Ole to
differentiate him from his older brother also named Ole. We
still have some tenuous contact with the descendents of the 3 children who remained in Norway, and my mother has visited the old farm in Norway.
I have some parts of Hans' pedigree back as far
as 1595.
====================================================
we would be interested in hearing from anyone who thinks this might be connected to them..
