Looking for more information on our Hjelle line. My great-great grandmother, Margarette Viola Brown was the daughter of Edd Brown...who changed his name from Odd Hjelle when he came to the United States prior to 1865. Edd/Odd was born 1 Jun 1842 in Woss, Norway. He died 7 Mar 1922 in Kooskia, Idaho, Idaho. He married Anne Marie (Anna Maria) Johnson (Gronsten) 1 Mar 1865 in Rochester, Minnesota. We know nothing more about Odd Hjelle/Edd Brown other than the fact that he was a violinist & one of the kings of Norway's musicians.
