Ulseth Family Connections
The Family From Norway Overview
Ingebrigt and Ingeborg Ulset
were the parents of the five brothers who emigrated to the
US and Canada after growing up on a farm 'Ulset' in
Kvikne. There were 7 children. The
two girls, Kjerstine (Simastuen)
and Gjertrud (Taksgård)
stayed at Kvikne their whole life. The Family left Ulset,
and lived a period at Grotlia, Kvikne, where Kjerstine's
granddaughter lives today. Later the Ulset Family went to
the neighbour community, Oppdal. From Oppdal the five
brothers left for the US and Canada. Before the emigration,
Even met Anne Holen from Dovre, the
neighbour community south of Oppdal. She became his wife.
Their oldest child, a daughter Ingeborg, was born in Norway,
and was only 4 months old at the emigration in 1882. Her
christian name was shortened to "Inga". Ole Ulseth was the
second one from the family who left Norway in 1888.
Iver went far up north in Norway, to
Bardu, where he met Ingeborg Karoline whom he married. This
couple, too, had children in Norway. One, Marit (Mary
Radford), was christened in Bardu, the other, Ingebrigt
Einar (Emery), in Oppdal. Early one morning in 1893,
Kristoffer left his home with a horse
conveyance from Kvikne. An interview Chris gave to a local
newspaper in Kvikne in 1954 at his visit, indicates so. We
also believe that his mother, Ingeborg, moved back to Kvikne
about that time. Martin was the
last of the brothers to leave in 1896 with his wife Anne in
Oppdal and her realtives still live there.
They used the surname Ulset before the emigration and
changed it to Ulseth when settling in the US. In the book we
use both Ulset and Ulseth depending on telling the story
before or after the emigration.
