I am looking for descendants of the Gaarder family (Ole Juelson Gaarder and Beret Halvorsdatter) that came to America from Norway in 1857 and first settled in Wisconsin (Holmen, Holland and Onalaska.) The family brought seven children to America, the oldest girl Guri (Julia) was my great grandmother and was already married to Tollef O. Svennes. Guri died in 1878. The others were Juel, Gunhild, Halvor (took the name Alfred Gaarder in America,) Ole, Maria (Mary) and Bernt (Brent.)
