I am looking for information on my great, great grandfather Ole Aaberg, who was born in Norway in 1862. He migrated to Minnesota where he gave birth to my great grandmother Ella. I believe he died in a prison in Walker, Minnesota. If you have any information, please contact me.

I am not of Aaberg line, I just like to do research to help others on sometimes.

I found a few records of Ole Aabergs. But, with so little information it is difficult to know which if any apply to you.

Here they are:

Ole Aaberg b. Jan 23 1865 m. Gena ? July 18 1885 in Rothsay, Minnesota d. August 11, 1936 in Rothsay, Minnesota c. Clara (1885), Olive (1888), Charles (1892), Nora Clarice (1904), Tina (1910)...and several others that are or were living at the time the record was created.

There is also an Ole Thoresen Aaberg that married a woman named Aasta Andreadr in 1887 in Aurdal, Opplan, Norway.

Not sure if either of these are yours. But, maybe they have some clues in them for you nonetheless.

Best of luck researching

My great-great Grandfather was a Aaberg in Minnesota, he may have been a brother to your Ole. My grandfathers name was Syver Oleson Aaberg, born 1861 in Valdres Norway. He had brothers who also came to America, and settled in Minnesota. ( Syver settled in Clearwater cty, close to Cass Cty). Let me know if you think there may be a link.

It is extremely likely that we have a match. My Ole also came from Valdres. Do you have the name of the father of your ancestor? Feel free to contact me at seashley01@msn.com. Look forward to talking with you.
