Hamilton county has a marriage registration from 3. April 1861: Owen JOHNSON and Elizabeth BRALAND. Elizabeth has to be Aasa Ellingsdtr. Breiland, b. 24. Sept. 1842 at Breiland farm, Hjelmeland, Rogaland, Norway, d. 9. Oct. 1898 in Humboldt Co. IA., daugter of Elling Olson Breiland (1800-1859) and wife Britha Endresdtr. Totland (1816-1900).Aasa remarried Knut (Knutson)Johnson Vadla - 24. Aug. 1865 in St. Petri Lutheran Church, Story city. Knut b. 1842 at Vadla farm, Aardal, Hjelmeland, Rogaland. They first lived in Hamilton Co., then moved to Humboldt county.
Does anyone have any information for Owen Johnson ? Does anyone has acces to Norwegian lutheran records in Hamilton (marriage 1861) to see what the church records says about Owen and Elizabeth ?
Aasa,s mother Bertha remarried Aanen Johnson Ritland 3. april 1861 in St. Petri Lutheran Church, Story City - same day as her daughter !
If a double wedding, why not in same church? Perhaps Elizabeth was Bertha and Aanen Johanson and Owen Johnson are same person?
Anyone who has info about this people ?
I live in Norway and are register emigrants from Hjelmeland.
