The Last Day in 2014

Then, I guess, a lot of us like to think back - about what really happend with 2014?  Did 2014 turn out to be what you expected? Did you do the right moves?  Well, 2014 turned out to be a good year for me - nothing big happend - but I am a year older and wiser...I think.

I have learned some about DNA - I have a lot more to learn - it is very complexed subject.  Today I have DNA samples from my Grandmother Mimi - my Grandfather Einar and from my Grandmother Agnes Dorthea. I have not been able to "find" a DNA person - to collect DNA from my Grandfather Simon Andreas. Too bad.  One day I might...

Let me introduce you to my Grandfather Simon Andreas Johansson - born 14.th of April 1898 in Elverum  - died 13.th of December 1969 in Flisa.  This picture is taken at Solheim in Kaffegata - in the backyard of my Grandfathers store - in May month in 1941 - and I think it is my Grandmother Agnes Dorthea who took the picture.

You see the birches to the left and right?  Well those - among plenty others - were The Avenue - The Birch Avenue - The Kaffegata.  On the opposite side of the street - there was nothing - not a house  - not a building in 1941.  Like this;

My Grandfather were born into a Methodist home.  Therefor - he is not written down in churchbooks from Elverum. Luckily - my grandfather collected "all" papers from his parents home - and my mother is a collector too - lucky me!

This is a baptist certificate from the Methodischurch in Hamar - and my Grandfathers younger sister, Ester.

I wish you all a happy and exciting New Year in 2015.  I took this picture this morning - it says that 2015 will bring a lot of light - a lot of warmth - and a lot of new questions about DNA and genealogy - in general - but also toward my ancestors.  And I will embrace that - besides my family - my work - genealogy is the third best "thing" that I love.  Enjoy your life...

A new Year...A new Beginning...A new Title...

...I do not know yet.  I just know that scrapping takes less hours of my spending time. 
Genealogy and family...are demanding more hours that I can provide...so I will take the Scrap out of my blog title and put in the Health?

 

 

I bought this book some times ago...I think I will start using it...not to the extreme...but my way. 

 

Yesterday I had the last familydinner, "this Christmas"  Swedish Christmas ham served with green vegatables, flatbread from Røros and caramelpudding made by the book.  Delicious...

 

 

Have a great Thursday...it is breakfasttime for Nichlasen...enjoy your life...!

 

A Sunday in February

Hello - when did January end - and when did February come?  Time runs too fast, nowadays! 
I'm not in the mood for scrapping or card making or any handcrafts - and thats annoying me!
Well I have been doing some genealogy - we got this Folketelling 1910 / National Census 1910 last month.  So I have been checking all my ancestors born in January towards this census...fun!  Try it!

This is my Great Grandmother Amalie Pauluda Andreasdaughter Torp Holter.  Born 1. January 1866 at Lista in Vest-Agder.  She married Johan Andreassen Holter in well I don't know - but before 1893.  They settled in at Elverum and got eight children.  Amalie Pauluda died 12. January 1955 - she is burried at Elverum Churchyard.

Siri Halvorsdaughter Skjærbekken Ulvevadet is my Great Great Great Grandmother.  She married Martinus Olsen Ulvevadet in 1836 and settled in at Ulvevadet Farm in Osdalen, Norde Osen.  They had five children - two who died very young.  The three ones that grew up where Oline Dorthea Martinusdaughter Ulvevadet Valen - moved to Madagaskar with her husbond Arne Farteinson Valen, Lene Martinusdaughter Ulvevadet Dahl married Per Person Løssetosdalen Dahl and mowed to USA, Ingeborg Martinusdaughter Ulvevadet married Nils Persson from Sweden and they settled in at Ulvevadet in Nordre Osen.  So Siri and Martinus had three beautiful girls in three corners of the world.  Siri died 4. December 1895 by pneumonia - she is burried at Nordre Osen Old Churchyard.

This is a beautiful picture of my oldest cousin - Ole Andreas born in 1952.  He is a farmer and he loves sport.  Last week he made Femundløpet - a "dogsledgerace" - Congratulations!!

It was like this when I started this Sunday!  Grrr...

Have a wonderful February - and do not forget to enjoy life!
