Want ancestry information

Hello! My father was Winfield H. Kjelgaard. His father was Carroll W. Kjelgaard, a doctor in Athens, PA around 1907 to 1954. Jim Kjelgaard, the author of Big Red, was also one of Dr. Kjelgaards' children. Betty Kjelgaard, also an author, was another sibling. The family settled in the Athens area from New York City. Does anyone know the ancestry of Dr. Kjelgaard?

Dear Mary Kjelgaard,

Dr. Carrol Winfield Kjelgaard was my Great-Grandfather. My grandfather was Winfield's oldest brother Robert Irving Kjelgaard.

I do not know CW's ancestry, but perhaps my father, John Robert or my mother Marguerite, would.

They can be reached at: jkjelgaard@prodigy.net

Good luck and God Bless You.

Dear Nancy Rae,
I am Winfield Kjelgaards oldest daughter. Our grand-father was C.W. Kjelgaard, M.D. His wife was Bertha Hoffman. C.W. Kjelgaards father was John Kjelgaard who was married to Lillian. John Kjelgaards Father was William Kjelgaard. According to the fly leaf on one of Jim Kjelgaards books, William was the first to come to America from Denmark. Jim Kjelgaard was Robert and Winfields brother, and, the author of many books (Big Red). His daughter, Karen, is living in Washington State (karenkj@harborside.com) - There is a lot of info on Joyce Tice's Tri County web site. Hope to hear from you. Mary

Mary, I am Nancy-Rae's sister in law. (Hi, Nanc!) At least I used to be. I was married to her brother, Robert.

I found a very nice web page on Jim Kjelgaard (author) by one of his fans, which had lots of information about his books, life and even pictures of his family, including CW. Also, Karen, his daughter included a biography.

By the way, I live in WA state. Do you know where Karen lives?

Good luck in your searches. I've added your information to mine for my daughter's family tree.

Sincerely,
Penny Soutar Kjelgaard

Dear Penny,

It was a pleasant surprise to read your message !! I have some recent information which my sister, Christine, has been diligently collecting.
She thinks that she has traced it way way back to the year 1000, and, the Kings of Denmark.

The father of Grandpa Kjelgaard was John, and, his father was William. There is a lot of information on the Tri County web site of Joyce T (?). Put that much in Google, and, you'll get the site.

I believe I can send you what I have via Email if you send me your address. Mine is qwerty@gis.net

As I write, I'm not sure of Karen's address. I have it in my address book, however, and will send it to you should you send your address.

Great to hear from you .... your daughter comes from a line of strong northmen and women all right !!

She sure acts like it.


I can't write now but can get in touch with you tomorrow. That's so cool about your sister. My ex, Bob (we got along really well.) heard your previous message since I read it to him just 30 minutes ago..but wait until he hears this good news.

Peace,
Penny
