Hello, I'm looking for any information about the Øgaard Farm and the Pedersen/Øgaard family that worked it around 1900. I believe he and his wife Ane are buried in the churchyard of Orre Kirke. Below is all the info I found from the National Archives in regards to the farm. Petter's daughter, Anna, was my great grandmother and emigrated to Chicago in 1915. She seemed to be the only one from the family to leave for the USA. It is rumored that she had a child out of wedlock (which would be my grandma's half-sibling) that stayed in Norway. Two members of the family came to my mother's (Nancy Hoffman Roderick) wedding in 1972 in Michigan. I also have a letter from Sverre Goa that was written to my grandmother (Marie Johnson Hoffman) in 2004 that shared the latest news with the family, however I can't connect how they were related. I would love to find pictures of the farm and family members, and fill in more of my family tree. Thank you so much!
Kristen Roderick Weissman
