Hi,

I am trying to help a woman in America find living cousins in Norway. Her grandfather was Nikolai Mathiasen Andal, born 26 Jul 1908 at Andal farm, Naustdal. Does anyone here know people that descend from this family?

Matthias Johannes Johannessen Holmsæter, 29 Sep 1881 - 16 Feb 1959
Anne Oline Eline Nikolaisdatter, 25 Aug 1881 - 22 Jan 1927

Children:

Hilda Mathiasdatter Andal, 15 Jun 1901 - 24 Aug 1977 (died in Naustdal)
Mathias Andras Mathiasen Andal, 8 Sep 1902 - ?
Elisa Sara Sofia Mathiasdatter Andal, 12 Oct 1906 - 28 Jul 1990 (died in Naustdal)
Nikolai Mathiasen Andal, 26 Jul 1908 - 11 Apr 1979 (died in Minnesota, USA)
Olga Solveig Mathiasdatter Andal, 10 Oct 1914 - 23 Jul 2001 (died in Naustdal)
Elbjørg Andal, ? - ?

If you know someone who would like to have contact with a granddaughter of Nikolai, please send me a private message, or an email at: bkgaber@aol.com

Tusen takk!

Hello Tove,

Thank you very much for this information, it will be a big help!

I have passed the info on to the woman I am helping and told her it was from you.

Tusen takk!

Hi Tove,

I was able to find the addresses for the children of Eldbjørg and even some facebook pages, so I am able to contact the family. Thank you again for your help. You gave me exactly the information that I needed.

Mvh,

Brian Gaber
