Hi everyone I am doing my family tree and can not find any info what's so ever on this last name.
My great Uncle's name was Hilmar Ronning Gjerdhaug, him and his sister were foster parents of Eidivesen. He came over twice and stayed the second time. My grandfather Andreas Martin Jentoft (his brother) payed his way here from Norway. The family was origially from the area of Nordland.
His brothers/sisters:
Leif Anderson
Andreas Martin Jentoft Andersen/on died in 1939
Fredrik Hendriksen died in 1963
August Bernard Anderson later Strand
Amanda Josefine Andersdatter(later Bowman)
Anna Strand
Sofie Helena Andersdatter (later Munsen/on)
If these names look like your family or your grandpa/father
please get a hold of us, we are looking for you!!

Hilmar would have known my dad Allan Laurence Jentoft Anderson.
They were up to the farm in Manitoba and grandpa told Hilmar to change his last name if he wanted him to talk to him again. He said he changed it to Carlson and lived in California.
