Lori Ann,
I believe we are distant cousins. My GGGrandfather was Big Ole Olsen Tjomsland the older brother of Abraham Tobias Tjomsland. Try going into the internet "search box" and typing "Tjomsland Royal Family Line". Also, read all of the
postings from Richard Johnson on the Ancestry.com message board. Then, try
www.snyderonline.com. If you go down to the name Tjomsland and double click it, it should take you to the actual family tree where your GGGfather settled Vashon Island in Washington State. His home that he built for his family is now a Bed and Breakfast. My GGGfather settled in Spokane, Washington about mid 1800's. I have spoken to the owner of the B and B and he has some family history and photographs. Keep in touch and let me know what you find.
