Hi Jennifer,
I am a grand daughter of Ole Olson Skaar and Hulda Elizabeth (Ericksson) Skaar. They emmigrated to America through Ellis Island in 1902 and 1906. Most of my family live in Idaho now.
My great grandfather, Ole Olson Sonderlaa, and great grandmother, Maria P. Skaar, lived near Eidfjord, Hordaland, Norway after marriage from 1876 through the early 1900s. My great grandmother came from Skaar, Sweden.
I have pictures of the Scar slide from which Skaar got its name and a couple of pictures of the schoolhouse and home where my great grandparents lived. When they came to America they changed their name from Sonderlaa to Skaar as was the custom from the land they lived on.
I would love to share photos of our families.
