hi im paul kjenstad. My immediate family originate from Norway. My Great great Grandad was adopted into the Kjenstad name but originally was called Martinius Olsen. Are you related to me?

Hei Paul! Not sure..where in Norway is he from and when? And your immediate family originate from where? My husband's father Nils Kolbjørn, son of Nikolai Kjenstad came from Kjenstad(Søndre), Snåsa, Nord Trøndelag.

I saw your post and am wondering whether your husband descends from Nikolai Nilsen(born 1881, son to Nils Nikolaisen and Karen Kathrine Larsdatter of Kjenstad Søre) and Martine Jonsdatter(of Jørstad). I know they had a son Anfinn but am unsure of any others. I only ask because I have a database of most people of Snåsa(and Lierne) prior to the early 1900's and their families. I am attempting to piece together descendants. The closest relation my great grandfather, born in Snåsa, was to Nikolai Nilsen is 4th cousin(1 time removed).
