Our great grandfather OLE TORGERSEN?TORGERSON was born April 30, 1856. OLE had several brothers. OLE lived in BUSKERUD, NORWAY.
In 1882 OLE and his brothers came to AMERICA in a cattle boat, I don't know if they worked on the boat for passage or if the ship had rooms to rent for passage. I can't find what port they arrived at.
As they made their way across AMERICA, OLE landed in HAYWARD WISCONSIN. I don't know where the others ended up, although I would like to know.

When they came to immigration OLE was back of his brothers, so when he came through ,the man asked his name. OLE said TORGERSON. The man said he had enough TORGERSONS for the day then asked him where he worked. OLE said the GAARD FARM. The man said that would be OLE"S name now, but he misspelled it, so his name was GORUD, not GAARD.

OLE became a logger and a farmer. he married THEA THORSON in 1878, who also came from NORWAY. They had 12 children, but only 6 survived to adult hood. Our grandfather HAROLD GORUD was OLE"S oldest son. Three of OLE"S great great grandsons have homes on the old homestead today. Only one carries the name GORUD now.

If anyone who reads this and has info about this family from BUSKERUD NORWAY, I would love to hear from you

My husband is a Turnbull. I am trying to search his family tree. Our 2nd ggfather James Turnbull 1821-1914 was a son of Robert Turnbull 1799-1802?? Some say he was born in Philadelphia, some say Scotland, Some say Born At Sea. I have not seen a record of his birth. I think his father Robert William/William Robert was born in Scotland, (no Birth Record), he married Elizabeth in England, no last name. I can't go any farther back until I find the correct info.
Robert Sr. died in 1808 in Philadelphia from fever. Robert Jr. lived in Ohio. He married Sicelia Wolfcale May 1, 1820. Children from this marriage were John, 1820, James 1821, Cyrus 182?, Robert 1826, Lewis. Robert re-married after the death of Sicelia.
Robert married Ann Margaret Ormsby in 1834. They had several children.
I am stumped at this time. Does anyone have any records of William Robert birth and where he was born and also where and when Robert Jr. was born? I would appreciate any info on this family.
