Do you know anything about a name changed to Kelseth. My grandfather was Lewis Kelseth, of MN son of Martin Olaf Kelseth and Jorgina Christine Andreason of Toten Norway. I just spoke with Don Kelseth of IA son of George Kelseth, grandson of Carl Kelseth. He said his name is spelled Kjeldseth. Some changed their name to Kelseth, because it was a nightmare to spell. His father is George Kjeldseth,(Kelseth) his grandfather is Carl. He was from Vardo, Norway. I haven't figure out if I have a connection with him, but a wonderful man to talk to. He did say that he his from the second marriage, that his father had been previously married in SD. Hope this helps....Kathy. rajslk@comcast.net

I am researching the Kelseth family. Halvor Daniel Kelseth was my great grandpa. He was married to Jennie Johnson, second marriage to Annie Stephens. I don't know if we are following the same line or not as I haven't seen Ellen Kjeldseth anywhere. I do know that family used many differnet name spellings including Kjeldseth. Halvor came to the USA from Norway with his father in 1880. I am particularly looking for information about him in Norway. His mother was Jorgine Christina Kelseth and his father was Martin Olaf Kelseth. Maybe Ellen Kjeldseth is part of the missing link to Norway. If you have any information I'd be happy to have it. I also have info to share if we establish a link. Thanks

This orginal message is mine from a while back. Where in the U.S. did they live? This is what I heard a long time ago. I don't know if it is true. The Kjeldseth name came from a family in Norway that owned a large farm. One of my great great etc took on the name of this family. So I do not know if you are related to me or maybe the orginal family. you can email me at sbcb90@hotmail.com if you would like. Cindy
