I’m trying to find more info on this family and would appreciate any help.
Gulbrand PEDERSEN, son of Peder ANDREASEN and Kristi PEDERSDR, was christened 20 Jul 1828, in Nittedal, Akershus, Norway.The 1865 and 1875 census of Kristiania state he was born in Hakkedal.He died 29 Jan, 1908 in Chicago, IL and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Joliet, IL.
I have been told he does not appear in the
On 29 Oct 1852 in Oslo, Norway, he married Dorthea JOHANNESDATTER, daughter of Johannes HENRICKSEN and Karen CLEMETSDATTER.Between 1862 and 1864, he was known as Gulbrand PEDERS. MORCH.Between 1865-1876, he was known as Gulbrand PEDERS. MORK.
They had the following children:
1. Carl Gustav GULBRANDSEN (later known as Charles G. MORK), b 25 Feb 1854 in Kristiania, Norway, d. 5 Jan 1914, Joliet, IL.
2. Gunhilda Amalie GULBRANDATTER MORCH, christened 3 Apr 1862, Domkirken, Akershus, Norway.
3. Johan Christian GULBRANDSEN MORCH (later known as Christian MORK), b. 8 Jul 1864 and christened 11 Sep 1864, Oslo, Norway, and d. 25 Jan 1930, Joliet, IL.
While I have been able to find the family in the 1865 and 1875 Norwegian census and emigration records, I have been told Gulbrand does not appear in the Nittedal/Hakadal bygdebok.
