 Enjoy this one!</U></B></div> <bR> <div> In 1880, the Imigrants Trek lists Peter Digrehagen as bringing his family to America. This was my mother's grandfather. He was married to Luci Hugaas. He was a brother to Ole Fjeseth who came on the settlement wagon train and a sister to Anne Digrehagen who married Ole Refset. </div> <div> When you came thru American Immigration, they gave you a choice for a surname of either putting son on the end of your father's name or using the farm name of the last farm you were on. In my wife's family Jacob Torkelson came thru with his family. Because his father was Torkel, he became a Torkelson but since his name was Jacob, his kids became Jacobson's. This also happened in the Lien family where Gertrude Lien's father became an Olson but she became a Burreson because her father was Burre. In the case of farm names, because Ole Fjeseth lived on his wife's family farm before he came to America, he became a Fjeseth but his brother became a Digrehagen. </div> <div> Both Peter Digrehagen and his stepfather Erik Digrehagen were in America for a while before Erik returned to Norway. This left someone else named Peter on the farm in Norway who in turn came to America when Erik returned to Norway. This resulted in two Peter Digrehagen's in the Hendricks area. The post office kept confusing their mail, so they had a meeting and agreed to split the name. The one man became Peter Digre and my wife's grandfather or perhaps her father (I am not sure which generation this happened in) became Peter Hagen. Peter Hagen was married to Kari Hexum. I don't know of any relatives in North Dakota. </div> <div> Surname change also happened in the Lien family in 1870. There were Johnson's from 1854 to 1870 but in 1870, they went back to their farm name of Lien because there were too many Johnson's and the post office kept sending their mail to the wrong Johnson. </div> <div> My mother did not use her given first name. She insisted on being called Alpha. </div> <div> The details of my address are shown below. I graduated from Hendricks High in 1961. Elementary school was District 70, Brookings County, SD (the one room school directly south of Singsaas Church). My dad farmed the quarter section of land directly to the east of the church. Attached is an 1897 Plat map of Lake Hendricks Township from the libray in Brooking. It is also on the internet if you can find the right website. </div> <div> With sadness, I inform you that my niece, Nancy Peterson died of liver cancer yesterday. So, I am headed for the Hendricks area later this week. </div> <div> My grandfather, Gilbert Lien was the son of Hans Lien and Gertrude Burreson. I will send you a Lien genealogy down the line a bit. </div> <div> Lien, Ken</div> <div> kenlien @ prtel.com (wiht no spaces)</div> <bR> <div> Address:</div> <div> 909 Westside Drive</div> <div> Fergus Falls MN 56537-2683</div> <div> USA</div> <div> Phone: 218-739-6125</div> <div> <A HREF="#top_of_kirkvold" TITLE="Kirkvold"><B><U>(Back to top)</U></B></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="kirkvold_family_history"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>In January, 2005, Ken Lien provided some interesting information here on the Kirkvold Family:</U></B></div> <bR> <div> Good Morning Jim: </div> <div> Did you know that Singsaas, Norway is about at the same latitude as Yellowknife up in Canada's Northwest Territories. The sun will rise at 9:24 AM today and set at 3:24 PM. Now isn't it nice to live in America. </div> <div> I forgot to mention in the last e-mail that Hans Digre is part of the Digre Oppstu family in the Singsaas Book. Oppstu is now abandonded - there is now just a mound where the buildings once stood. I have a picture of the mound if you would like to see it. </div> <div> Digrehagen is also abandoned. They turned the key and walked away. Left the furniture in the house. It has reverted to its folk name of Blomøya (Blomoien) which means flowers on an island in the current edition of the Singsås Book. </div> <div> Kirkvoldmo <<Klokkarhau'en>> Pages 176-177 means Church Farm + House of the Klokkers -that is the name Kirkvold means church farm and Klokkarhau'en means house of the Klokkarhau'en means house of the Klokkers. Klokker is translated sextent in English but none of know what that means anymore either. A klokker was a Norwegian State Church employee who had a4 duties. They were to ring the bell, lead worship singing, clean the church and teach school. The duty that took the most time was teaching school. Norway in the 18th & 19th centuries ran its schools thru the church. The primary purpose of elementary education was to prepare the children for Catechism. The Kirkvold & Digrehagen and also to a degree the Digrees were involved in this activity. In addition, they had a small farm where they could have a garden and raise a few livestock. For this privilege provided by the church, residents of the Singsaas area had to pay the Klokker Tollen - the Klokker tax. Gertrude Lien's (wife of Hans Lien) father Burre Olsen was a Klokker at Haltdalen, Norway. He taught school for 28 years at Haltdalen before he came to America. Because of this, he was sent his old age Klokker's pension was sent to him in America. He is called Burre Nysetvold in the Haltdalen Book.</div> <div> Note the following sentence in Digre Oppstu - </div> <div> In 1745 he obtained the lease for the half of the Digre farm from Pastor Bugge Leem, and along with it, he purchased his ownership here, 12 ml. </div> <div> Note that the Church even owned the Digre Oppstu farm until 1745.</div> <div> Another thing - paying for the salary of the local pastor was part of your taxes in Norway. This carried over into America until the church merger in 1957. That is, Singsaas Church would send the trustees around and tell you what your share of the church budget was and you wrote out a check to pay it. Four times a year, they would take a processional offering for missions (you walked around the altar and placed your offering in the plate on the altar. This was a voluntary offering.</div> <div> Have a good day!!!!</div> <div> In America, 40 acres were taken out of a quarter for the church and pastors church farm at Singsaas. Eighty of the remaining acres of this section went to the Kirkvold family that had been on the church farm in Norway.</div> <div> <A HREF="#top_of_kirkvold" TITLE="Kirkvold"><B><U>(Back to top)</U></B></A></div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="kirkvold_from_singsaasboka"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>In January, 2005, Ken Lien provided the following translation from the Singsaasboka:</U></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div>             <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> THE KIRKVOLD FAMILY</B></FONT></div> <div>             (provided by Ken Lien)</div> <div>       ( kenlien @ prtel.com with no spaces)</div> <bR> <div> This includes the Kirkvold's, Digrehagen's (later known as the</div> <div> Hagen's, Digre's, Refset's (Knutson's, Kvernmo's, etc.)  </div> <bR> <div> Volume 2 of the Singsaas Book, a Norwegian book of farm, family</div> <div> and genealogical data has the following account of the Kirkvoldmo</div> <div>  <<Klokkarhau'en>> (previous word means house of the Klokkar's)</div> <div> farm on pages 176 & 177 and of the Digrehagen farm on pages 192-194.</div> <div> The reason for starting on the Kirkvold farm is the Hagen's were</div> <div> Digrehagen before they were Hagen's and they were Kirkvold's</div> <div> before they were Digrehagen's.  The name Kirkvold means land</div> <div> near the church or church land and a Klokkar was a lay</div> <div> assistant/song leader in the church.  As we shall see in the</div> <div> account, the early Hagens helped the Kirkvold's as</div> <div> schoolteacher's and as lay assistants in the church.  School</div> <div> was probably taught either in the church or in a school house</div> <div> right next to the church.  But before we start with the above, we go back a generation onto the Kirkvold ancestoral farm that was subdivided into several amaller farms in about the year 1745.  A very crude translation follows:</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Kirkvold - Ancestoral Farm before the division beginning midway in the account at bottom of page 166.</div> <bR> <div> Eiliv's children were:</div> <bR> <div> 1)     Per, born 1636, his account follows:</div> <div> 2)     Anders, see Singsås (Nor'g)</div> <div> 3)     Hans, See Setreng</div> <div> 4)     Gjartru, married to Erek Sommer in Børsa.</div> <div> 5)     Else, married to Per Person Vinsnes (Nor'g)</div> <div> 6)     Johan, born 1652, went to Bakkinn in Budalen, see account there</div> <div> 7)     Dotter (daughter?), married to Anders Olufson Brenden</div> <bR> <div> ???Ten payments Eiliv in 1650 made with 5 happen build and 8 happen oats.  He had a large new residence in the country settlement:  27 cattle, 8 goats and 14 sheep.???
