Surnames: Botten, Pederson
I'm looking for information on the Halvor and Gunnild Botten Family in the Lacombe area. They resided between Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House from 1902 to at least 1943. Gunnild had a daughter from a previous marriage, Thilda, m. Hans Olsen, d. 1932. Halvor's children with Gunnild are: Clara, m. Frank Andrew, d. 1975; Edward, no other info; Selma, m. Chris Boller, d. 1971; Thressa, m. Orvel Rasmussen, d. ??; and Gena, m. Rudolph Rasmussen, d. 1933. Halvor was born in Norway 1862, and immigrated to Minnesota with his family. He married Gunnild after her first husband died, and they moved to South Dakota. In or about 1902 they moved to Alberta where they stayed. Halvor is listed in his brother's obituary in 1943 as still living. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

The Master Surname Index (not online) of the Alberta Genealogical Society lists some 10 Botten names among them are;
Gunhilde E. BOTTEN, 1864 - 18 Oct 1934
Halvor K. BOTTEN, 1862 - 14 Jul 1945
both buried next to each other in the Medicine (Diamond) Valley cemetery at Benalto.
I did not check for any of the other names.

For this family the origin of the surname Botten is the farm the family last occupied in Norway. Botten was a smaller parcel located on a larger farm. The farm was in Flaa, Hallingdal, Buskerud, Norway. Are you related?

Very interesting...my dad Raymond Botten was born and raised in Kent. His father was Arthur Botten and mother Hazel. Surely we must be distantly related with such an unusual name in the same county!

Hi

I have just begun researching a family tree where Annie Botten has married Frederick Arthur West in Faversham 1919. I think her father may have been Frederick William Botten and her mother was Mary Pankhurst. I have not had positive confimation of this yet as there are a couple of Annies around the same time and same area.

Wondered if this could be a link to yourself or if you had more details on my Botten??
