My brother John Hamilton just sent your guest book address. I live in the Seattle, Washington area (Northwest U.S.A) I go by Jaye but my given name was Judy or Judith, grandpa Oksendaht always pronounces it Yudy.
Growing up I thought I was 100% Norwegian. Mother spoke some Norwegian and baked the Norwegian cookies, christmas bread and lefse. We had and still do to this day have Swedish meatballs every Christmas, they are a family favorite. Mom always served swedish meatballs and lutefisk. My husband teases me that he won't eat anything that turns the silverware black.

I am the grandson of Andrew Oksendahl. He was a pioneer and settled in Rugby, North Dakota in the 1880's.
I believe he is the older half brother of Nels Oksendahl who settled in Montana. I recall my grandfather brought over most of his family from Norway. If this is the same Nels, he has a daughter named Wilma.

(Originally added by John at Wed Sep 20 01:37:42 2006, but rejected by my guestbook-software because of the missing "Code" field.)

Som additions done by Kaare:
- From an email sendt to John:
As you surely already have done, you can read about your grandfather Andrew (Andreas in Norwegian), and about his younger half brother Nels (Nils in Norwegian), on the pages found at
emigration from Yksendal.
I hope I can add your "denied" guestbook enty to my guestbook.

- From John's answer: Yes, this Andrew Oksendahl, is my grandfather. I am the son of Selma Oksendahl, Andrew's daughter. I recognize all of the pictures of the North Dakota farm that are in your web site.
I will forward this to my siblings James Hamilton, Janice Gaston, Joan Clow and Judy Harrington. They will enjoy your web site.
You may include my e-mails in your guest book

I was wondering if Traefald and Trefall could be related.

Hi, I am a granddaughter of Ingeborg (Lindbo) Olson who lived in northern MN. Marna Dahl was my first cousin. My husband, Clarence, is a retired engineer. We and our three married children also live in Billings. I'd like to begin updating our Slektsbok which your father and Marna worked on. We'd enjoy hearing from you. Distant cousin, Yvonne

Kjempebra sider. Har lest alt jeg kan finne om flyvraket som min svigerfar Louis Ekse har fortalt om. Håper å ta turen opp dit i sommer. Interessant å lese om både plassen og menneskene som bor/bodde her! Har vært i Eksingedalen en gang, og det er et nydelig stykke Norge!

Sjekket siden i dag 20.februar 2006 og ser at det er kommet nytt stoff. Utvandring fra Eksingedalen fikk jeg inn med morsmelken, men far sa alltid at de gamle slektningene reise til Amerika og på gården hørte de ikke noe mer. Jeg ser frem til å få flere historier fra en tid som må ha vært vanskelig. Med hilsen Reidar

I've visited this region that my grandfather (Nels H Oksendahl) came from with my wife (Elaine) and my youngest son (Jonathan Eric Oksendahl) in 2003. Absolutely beautiful part of the world.
We live in Port Orchard, Washington and travel each day by ferry to work in Seattle, Washington (I work at Boeing, my wife is a hospital adminstrator and our youngest son attends grade school). Hans Andrew Oksendahl is our oldest son who lives in West Seattle; a daughter, Prairie Windsong Oksendahl, lives in Olympia, Washington; and oldest daughter, Heidi Lemuria Beyer, lives in Rhode Island and just gave birth to the next generation, Hannah Lemuria Beyer born Dec. 4th 2005.

My youngest brother, Peter Oksendahl, commutes on the ferry with as well, he and his wife Nola and daughter Ariel live close by us in Port Orchard. His oldest daughter Lorelei, husband Larry Newman and son Trace live in Seattle.

Hei alle i nær og fjern slekt. Jeg er barnebarn til Lars og Bertina Ekse og har mange flotte minner fra somrene på Ekse. Ekse er en perle på jord som man alltid lengter tilbake til. Gøy å lese alt som er skrevet på Trefall siden.
