I am researching my Gjerde ancestors. What I know is that my G.G.Grandparents were Christien Gjerde and Anne Rekkedal. They had a son by the name of Arne C. Gjerde
(My Great Grandfather) b:25/Sept/1866 in Sondmor,Hjorundfjord,Møre Og Romsdal County, Norway, married to Ellen O. Riise (My Great Grandmother) b:01/Feb/1868 in Sæbo,Hjorundfjord,Møre Og Romsdal County,Norway. Arne emigrated to America about 1884. He came to Lac qui Parle County, MN. He knew his wife from Norway, and they were married on 12/Jan/1892 near Echo, MN. They made their home in Dawson,MN.
They were the parents of:Anne(Mrs.Louis Moe),
Arnold, Coyle(Mrs.I.N.Larson), Ione(Mrs. Omar Ellefson) and Joel C. Jerde (My Grandfather) b:26/Dec/1908. Joel married (My Grandmother)Amy Holtan 14/Sept/1931. They had one child Roderick L. Jerde (My Dad).
Arne changed his last name Gjerde to Jerde when he came to America. If anyone has any info on my family or anymore of my Gjerde ancestors please let me know. If there is any cousins out there e-mail me, please.
My e-mail addy is gjerde@wholedamarea.com
