hello! i think i have some information which may be interesting to you

my grandmother is descended from Nils Bjerke, who came to America in 1864 from Toten, Norway, with one of his sons Evan.

i am not sure who Evan married but he had a daughter named Nora. She was born in Twin Valley, MN, in 1883.

She married Martin Ballangrud (who changed the spelling to Ballingrud). they had 10 children, somewhere in MN, perhaps aroung the Theif river falls area =]

please let me know if you find this of interest.

My Dad was Edward Bjerke, his dad ( my Grandpa ) was Martin Bjerke. I never knew my Grandpa as he passed away years before my birth. Not sure if this is the same Martin Bjerke your inquiring about.

Norris is pictured in Wings Aloft, yearbook of the 43-E class of flight cadets training at Lubbock Army Flying School. He is a flight cadet. I'm not kin but thought this might help someone researching the BALLANGRUD family.

Hi!

I'm doing research on the Ballangrud family of Oregon, who are my relatives. Currently I'm working on Norris S. Ballangrud. He was a pilot of a B-24, and was killed in France on January 21st, 1944. I would like a copy of the picture, if possible.

Hi,
Nils Nilson Bjerke and Kjerstine Bjerke are the Great Grandparents of my brother in law through their son Johan Helmer Bjerke. I am trying to find out whatever I can for him. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi. Nils Nilson Bjerke (6/12/1813 - 1/6/1884) and Kjerstine Nilson Bjerke born Kjerstine Larsdaughter Olsen (3/17/1820 - 10/6/1910) are my Great-Great Grandparents. They are buried in the Bloomfield Cemetery in Ostrander, MN.

Just a couple of other notes (that you may have already): immigrated to the USA in 1864 and lived in the Ostrander, MN area, 10 children that grew to adulthood: Johannah (or Johanne), Helene, Christine, Lars, Nils (or Nels), Petronelle, Even (my Great Grandfather),Johan Helmer (John), Caroline, and Clara.

I have a family history booklet compiled in 1977-79 by Clarence Iverson of Binford ND. The booklet mainly follows the Helene Bjerke Iverson line, but there is a fair amount of additional information that is quite interesting and informative for the descendents of the other siblings. I would be willing to share the booklet with you in some form or other, if you are interested.

Sincerely,
Mike
