Wow, this is so helpful, thank you Valerie! There's a lot to digest here, including that you brought my husband's genealogy back a generation. They are his second great grandparents.
Hedmarken, yes I have seen that place name somewhere in the Borsvold genealogy. I'll need to try to find that in my files.
I'll need to delve into your comment another day soon, and get back to you. It's late here in Minnesota, USA.
