I see your confusion. You have the information correct from what I have read without looking up my documents. The reason why I think you are so confused because each line of hyldahl's children are some what similar for a few generations. Hypothetically.... Jens Peder Hyldahl's sons name is Peder Jensen( takes fathers 1st name and adds sen meaning son at the end) Hyldahl then he has a son named Jens Peder Hyldahl. It is almost a complete cycle with different people. Majority of the son's took their fathers first name and added "sen" to complete the middle name and for daugheters you would see "datters". I hope I did not confuse you more. I have been talking via email and phone with another Hyldahl family member. So if you want to eaiser explain stuff you can email me at
kjleonard06@comcast.net and then I can provide my # b/c communication about this stuff is easier over the phone. I should have no problem finding where you connect to the rest of us as I have been able to do with every "hyldahl" I have spoke with.
