There is a group of Gaasedelen's living in the Minneapolis, St.Paul
area. There is also a group living in the Kenyon, Minnesota area.
I will contact some of my relatives living here to see what I can
find out. Owen Gaasedelen (the younger), spent about one year living
in Norway. He spent time at the Gaasedelen Farm in Vang, Valdres, Norway.
If he doesn't know anything, he may be able to put us in touch with our relatives
living in Norway. Most of the relatives still in Norway have changed their
name from Gaasedelen to Steinsvoll. If you try to email persons by
the Steinsvoll name living around Vang, Laerdal, and Sogne Fjord area,
they will probably be Gaasedelens. Vang, Norway is where the name Gaasedelen
originates. There are Gaasedelens buried in the church yards all around that area.
I have some pedigree information which I will gladly share with you. It might allow
you to figure out who your husband's father was.
Bye for now, Jim Gaasedelen
