Hvaal – family

Painting of Solveig (Hvaal) Maukon

Hilda and Ole with children

1 Preface

On these pages we present the story of a large family originating from the farm “Søndre Hvaal” in , . This farm has been in the family we are describing since 1864. That year Johannes Halvorsen and Anne Oline Evensdatter bought the farm. They had 10 children and it is, in particular, the son Ole (number 5 of the children) we are discussing here.

Ole Johannesen Hvaal took over the farm in 1878 and the same year married 15-year-old Hilda Josefine Nielsdatter. Ole and Hilda had 17 children – you can see 16 of them on the front page. We are discussing their ancestors – and in particular their descendants. All descendants are coded. This makes it easy to see the family relations – both with regard to generation as well as within the same generation. The system will be described later.

The author of these pages is not directly in the family. However, I am married to one of the great grandchildren of Ole and Hilda. In the work to collect information I have used all available re- sources such as the digitized church books – the census from 1865 and 1900 as well as “Lardal bygdebok” – a book from 1973 about the farms in Lardal Kommune. Most information is,- how ever, obtained from the different family members.

The Norwegian names are not translated.

Place and name

In order to give some orientation, we include on this page a map of , Norway. Hvaal and surroundings are encircled. The cities in Vestfold (, , Tønsberg, and ) are all situated near the coast. Lardal kommune belongs to the inland of Vestfold. The large

2 river Lågen divides Lardal in an east and west side. Hvaal is on the east side. Most of the farms have fishing opportunities in Lågen (a good river for salmon fishing). Today there are several farms in the same area with the name Hvaal. The one in question is “Søndre Hvaal” ( South) with gnr. 51 (The farm num - ber). The picture to the right is taken from south – nearest is Søndre Hvaal – whereas Nordre Hvaal is beyond the trees dividing the picture.

Svarstad church

The farm Hvaal is situated on the east side of Lågen river – within the red circle Andebu on the map.

Svarstad church is marked by a red dot.

The above picture shows the surroundings – which are mainly farmlands. To t he east is the forest that goes all the way to Ande - bu.

Furthermore, the churches church in Hedrum and Larvik are marked, as well as Farri - seide.

3 The Name

We assume that the name is from the old Norwegian word “høll ” – which indicates something like a “round hill”. In 1590 up to about 1670 the name was written Huall. Then we find the name Hvaell. In newer time the name Hvaal is used – and the family we are engaged with, is using that name. On some new maps, like the one given, the name is written Hvål .

The farm has since the middle of 1600 had 2 horses, 7 – 11 cattle and 8 – 25 sheep. Furthermore, to the farm was a quite large forest. The number of people living on the farm was in the period 1700 – 1900 from 6 to 21 people. Ownership

The farm has from old days been in private ownership. We know the owners and users of the farm from about 1600. The family we discuss here came to the farm in 1864 when Johannes Halvorsen and Anne Oline Evensdatter bought the farm from Hans Halvorsen Myre for 200 spciedaler (specie- daler was the Norwegian current up to 1875). A speciedaler from that time is about 180 Norwegian kroner (about 33 dollar). Ole Johannesen Hvaal handed over the farm to his son Ottar in 1910. It is possible that he regretted this – he took the farm back within a year and sold it to Kristoffer Werge - land. Then after 9 years Ottar again took over the farm on “odel” (allod).

The owners of the farm since 1864: 1864 – 1878 Johannes Halvorsen 1878 – 1910 Ole Johannesen Hvaal 1910 – 1911 Ottar Hvaal 1911 – 1920 Kristoffer Wergeland (not in the family) 1920 – 1936 Ottar Hvaal 1936 – 1952 Hanna Solberg Hvaal (wife of Ottar ) 1952 – 1984 Odd Hvaal 1984 – 2012 Othar Hvaal (son of Odd ) 2012 – Solveig Beate Hvaal (daughter of Ottar )

4 Ole and Hilda Josefine Hvaal with ancestors

In this work we shall concentrate on the descendents of Ole Johannesen Hvaal and his wife Hilda. However, we shall start with the couple and their ancestors – at least a few generations as far as we know it today.

Ole Johannesen Hvaal (1851 – 1924). Hilda Josefine Nielsdatter (1863 – 1950). Ole was born on Smukkestad (a farm on the Hilda was born in Larvik 10. March 1863 and other side of the river Lågen) 27. February 1851 baptized in Larvik church on the 17. of May. She and babtized in Svarstad church on 8 June. His was given the name Hilda Josephine (with ph) . parents were Johannes Halvorsen and Anne She used the name Hilda and furthermore, the Oline Evensdatter. The family moved to Hvaal full name was written Hilda Josefine in the when Ole was 13 years old. church books. She was the second child of Niels Hansen and Anne Marie Nielsdatter. Ole was sergeant and “fanejunker” (the highest degree below officer in Norway up to 1930). He This family lived in Larvik or right outside took over the farm in 1878. (Farriseie). Her father Niels Hansen was “vognmand” (carriage and wagon foreman) in the city of Larvik.

Hilda came to Hvaal in 1878 when she married Ole.

Hilda and Ole married in Svarstad church on December 27. 1878. He was 27 years, whereas Hilda was only 15 years and 9 months.

A copy from Svarstad church book is shown above. The handwritten copy gives a lot of valuable information. From left is the date of the wedding – then the names and class of the two. Then follows the birth date and place and finally the two fathers – Johannes Halvorsen and Niels Hansen.

Ole and Hilda bought Øvre Kongelf in 1910 when they first sold Hvaal to Ottar. They lived at Kongelf until 1918.

Here is a picture of Svarstad church as it is today. In the front are even the graves to some in the Hvaal family.

In this church Hilda and Ole married 27. December 1878. Furthermore, all their 17 children were baptized in this church.

For me this church has also a particular position since Målfrid and I were married here; 24. August 1957 – almost 179 years after Ole and Hilda. Picture below is from the wedding – coming out the church.

6 Ole`s ancestors

Below we have some of Ole`s ancestors gathered in a “family tree”. We have still some question marks where information is lacking.

Ole Johannesen Hvaal (1851 – 1924)

Some comments about the ancestors

The family tree for Ole Johannesen Hvaal show that the ancesters are mainly from different places in Lardal. Johannes Halvorsen was born in Kristiania. His parents were Halvor Jonsen and Tolline Olsdatter Nedre Slottsgate. Johannes was baptized 12. September 1813 in Akershus slottsmenighet. Halvor and Tolline were married 24. April 1813 in Akershus slottsmenighet. They moved to Grini-eie in Lardal, and got 5 more children in the period 1815 –1824. Halvor Jonsen was born here and was baptized 26. February 1786 i Lardal. His parents were Jon Mattissen and Anne Halvorsdatter.

On Oles mother side (Anne Oline) we can follow the family for several generations backwards They all lived on different farms in Lardal.

7 The parents. Johannes Halvorsen and Anne Oline Evensdatter.

Even if Johannes was born in Kristiania, he spent most of his life in Lardal. He married in 1841 Anne Oline Evensdatter (he was 28 and the bride 19). They lived on several farms in Lardal, such as Askjemhagen and Smukkestad, before they bought Hvaal in 1864. They ran this farm (with 2 horses, 5 cattle and 6 sheep) for 13 years. They even had a “general store” here for a period. When the son Ole took over the farm in 1878 they moved to “Øvre Hvaal” (about 200 meters away) to their oldest daughter Karen Helene. They both lived until June 1886 – and it happened that they died from pneumonia with Anne Oline Evensdatter only two days in between.

They had 10 children – and we would like to mention them all.

1. Karen Helene (1842 – ?). She married Hans Torgrimsen (1840 – 1914) and had a small part of Hvaal called Øvre Hvaal or “Oppholdet” . They got the children:

A. Johan Thorvald (1870) . He travelled to Duluth in Minnesota.

B. Ole Albert Hansen Hvaal (1875 – 1952). He married Ellen Karoline Johansen Engelstad (1877 – 1971). They had the children: B 1. Helga Kristine (1899 – 1910) B 2 . Hans Hvaal (1901 – 1983). He married Åse Johansen Bonstad (1912 – 2002). They had the children: B 2.1 Elsa (1932 – 2007), B 2.2 Solveig (1936 – 1936) B 2.3 Ole William (1936 – 2001) B 2.4 Bjørg (1939) B 2.5 Per Widar (1949).

3. Hans Christian Hvaal (1846). He married Karen Marie Olsdatter from Hvisle and they had the son Johan Ottar (1874).

4. Tilla Sofie (1848). She married mate Petter Arnt Larsen Strand and they moved to Sandar.

5. Ole Johannesen Hvaal (1851). The son we are telling about.

6. Inger Andrine Hvaal (1854). She married the school teacher Lars Nilsen Sørhuus.

7. Andreas Hvaal (1856). He became a baker and went to New York in 1881.

8 8. Bernhard Hvaal (1858). He emigrated in 1888 To Minnesota with wife Kristine (1862) and children Martha Alvilde (1885) and Julius (1886). They had more children in USA; David Sigurd, Abel Edward, Hildeborg Dagna, Ingeborg Magna, Anne Josephine and Mamie.

8.A. David Sigurd Hvall married Cecilia Mae Pohler and they got 4 children.

8 A.1 Thema Bernhard Johannesen Hvaal and 8 A.2 David Sigurd Elise Kristine Friberg 8 A.3 Earl Everett 8 A.4 Everett

8 A.2.1 Darlene Cecilia Hvaal 8 A.2.2 Howard Earl Hvaal

9. Edward Hvaal (1861)

10. Carl Hvaal (1864).

All descendents of Johannes Halvorsen and Anne Oline Evensdatter are of course within the large Hvaal family. However, we started this research one generation after with the son Ole.

Hilda Josefines ancestors

For Hilda Josefine Nielsdatter we have information to give the following tree for the ancestors:

Hedrum branch Larvik branch

Gullik Nielsen Eje + Johanne Fredriche So far we lack information. However, Finsdatter They married 17/8 1804 this branch of the family tree seems Larvik. to come from farms like Haugenes Steen Nielsen + Karen Margrethe Olsdatter and Nauf in Hedrum. (1774 – 1819) ( 1779 – 1819) Larvik.

Hilda Josephine Nielsdatter Hvaal (10/3 1863 – 1950)

Some comments about the ancestors

Hilda`s father was “vognmand” (carriage and wagon foreman) in the city of Larvik. From the census in 1865 they lived in Larvik or rather in the outskirts. I assume their home was in the end of the lake Farris – the place called Farriseje or Farriseide. In 1865 Niels had 3 horses – and had probably other people employed with the business.

From the church books it appears that Niels Hansen and his ancestors are from farms in Hedrum. Names like Hagenes, Nauf and Stampe are mentioned. We find the information about Niels Hansen in the church books for Hedrum. This church is from about year1100, and a picture is shown on next page.

Hildas mother Anne Marie Nilsdatter is from Larvik – may be from the area just south of the lake Farris (today Farriseide). In 1865 Anne Marie`s parents Niels and Nelia Gulliksen lived in the same house. Most of the detailed information about this branch of the family tree (Larvik branch) is found in the church books for Larvik.

10 HEdruM KIrKE

The Hedrum branch

Niels Hansens parents, Hans Berthel Andersen and Sønøv Tostensdatter married June 25. 1822 (Hans was 25 and Sønnøv 24). It can be noticed that they married 3 weeks after their first child Anders was born.

Their children were the following: 1. Anders Hansen (b. 1/6 1822) 2. Niels Hansen (b. 29/12 1823) 3. Maren Sophie Hansdatter (b. 8/9 1825). 4. Thor Hansen (b. 1/3 1831). 5. Hellene Sophia (b. 18/12 1833).

Niels Hansen (29/12 1823 – 10/10 1876). Niels was almost 53 years old when he died. The death certificate says “Nervefeber” – a sickness which today is known as typhoid fever and is caused by a Salmonella bacterium.

Niels was married two times – with the two daughters of Nils Gulliksen and Nelia Steensdatter from Larvik. His first wife Johanne Nilsdatter (1829 – 1860) died from tuberculosis. We have no information about children in this marriage. In March 1861 he married Anne Marie Nilsdatter (2/6 1839 – 22/5 1878). They had 9 children together – the second one was Hilda Josefine, which is the start point for the Hvaal family discussed here. The Larvik branch:

11 The great grandfather of Hilda, – Steen Nielsen (1774 – 1819) was a shoemaker. He married Karen Margrethe Olsdatter (1779 – 1819). They got the daughter Nelia (born in 1809). She married Niels Gulliksen – the son of Gullik Nielsen Eje (or Eide which may indicate Farriseide) and Johanne Frederiche Finsdatter.

Niels Gulliksen and Nelia Steensdatter got two girls; (1) Johanne Nilsdatter (Eide)(b.1829) and (2) Anne Marie Nielsdatter (Eide) (born 1839).

It happened that Niels Hansen from Hedrum married both Johanne and Anna Marie. First he married the oldest one, Johanne. However, she died from tuberculosis 28/1 1860 – only 31 years old. We have no information about children in this marriage. A year after Johannes death Niels married Anne Marie Nielsdatter (21/3 1861). He was then 36 years and Anne Marie 21.

Niels Hansen and Anne Marie Nielsdatter had the following children:

1. Hagbarth Nielsen (18/7 1961 – 1862). Died only one year old.

2. Hilda Josefine Nielsdatter (10/3 1863 – 1950). She married Ole Johannesen Hvaal and is central in this investigation.

3. Constance Henriette Nielsdatter (3/9 1864 – 30/10 1919). She emigrated to USA and was married three times. (1) Jacob Nelson, (2) Wickstrøm and (3) Frank Enstrøm.

4. Oscar Sigvardt Nielsen (22/9 1866 – 9/12 1868). Died only two years old.

5. Valjertha Othilie Nielsdatter (16/5 1868 – 191?). She was confirmed in Larvik 1. November 1882 and emigrated to USA in 1886, 18 years old. She married John Standall and died in Washington.

6. Adolf Steen (Nielsen) Nelson. (16/4 1870 – 1929). He married Ida Lindberg and died in Montana.

7. Nils Oscar Marinius (Nielsen) Nelson (22/1 1873 – 1935). He married Mayme West and he died in Montana.

8. Fritjof Sigvard Nielsen (6/5 1875 – 10/5 1875). Fritjof died only 4 days old.

9. Thorvald Reinhard Fritjof (Nielsen) Nelson (6/6 1876 – 1963). Thorvald had a particular life which included 4 wives and all together 13 children. He must have emigrated as a boy to USA. He came to Montana and worked in a mine around Georgetown Lake.

First wife. He went back to Norway and become a seaman. In 1893, when he was 17 years old, the ship crashed off the coast of South Africa near Port Elisabeth. Thorvald was the only survivor and was found by a missionary – and his sister Dorothy Judith Paton nursed him back to health. Then it happened that they fell in love – they married and got three children. After some years Thorvald wanted to leave Africa whereas Dorothy did not want to leave and they divorced. We have no more information about that part of the family. In Africa he used the name Thomas Nelson.

Second wife. After this Thorvald met and married Albertine Marie Pedersen. They got 4 children; Niles Norman (1901), Thomas Reinhart (1903), Irine Adelaide (1905) and Edgar Clifford (1907). Thorvald and Albertine divorced in 1909. Part of this family is the Nelson family in Whitefish, Montana. We have some more information about the first child Niles Norman.

Niles Norman Nelson (1901) married Doris Evangeline Smith in 1929. They got 3 children, 11 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and so far 7 great great grandchildren. The children were: Vertna Joy (1932), Norma Ruth (1934) and Wayne Arnold (1935).

12 Wayne Arnold Nelson (1935). Wayne had 5 children;

1. Norman Nelson (195? – 2000),

2. David Nelson (1960). He has the children; Beau, Jennifer, Brittany, Scott, Farrah, Brett and David Jr.

3. Kristin (Nelson) Staley (1968). She has the children; Page, Tanner,

Jake and Rachel.

Wayne`s two youngest children are the twins:

4. Margareth Tasma Nelson (13/6 1985)

5. Niles Elisabeth Nelson (13/6 1985). She was a medical student – and she spent the spring semester 2011 at the University of Oslo. She married Tien Nguyen. They are both medical doctors - working in Melbourne Australia.

The twins on their 26.th birthday, 13. June 2011 in Asker. To the left Niles Elisabeth and to the right Margareth Tasma

The two sisters are third cousins to Målfrid. Målfrids great grandmother Hilda is sister of Thorvald – the great grandfather of the two girls.

Third wife. Thorvald went back to Norway in 1909 and visited his sister Hilda on the farm Hvaal. Here he met his niece Anne Oline and he married the third time (in September 1909). In the Norwegian church books it says that it was the first marriage for both. Thorvald and Anne Oline got

13 4 children; Rhinehart (1910), Anne Marie (1912), Lloyd (1914) and Violet (1918). They and their descendants will be mentioned later. They come into the coding system via Anne Oline H 7.

Fourth wife. Thorvald left Anne Oline and the 4 children in Anaconda, Montana. He ended up by marrying Bergliot Pederson in 1918. They got twins Reinhart and Sterling (1924) and lived in New York. Reinhart married Elisabeth and Sterling married Jean. In 1919 he changed his name to Reinhart Frithjof Eide. The twins used Eide as the family name.

To the right is a picture of Thorvald with his wife no. 4 (Bergliot) and the twins. In the picture from left is; Reinhart, his wife Elisabeth, Thorvald, Bergliot, Sterlings wife Jean and finally Sterling. (photo from 1954)

Anne Marie Nilsdatter – the mother of all the Larvik children became a widow when Niels died in 1876 – only 4 months after Thorvald was born. She was at the time 37 years old and had 6 children – ranging from 4 months to 13 years old.

We do not know the full story, but Anne Marie married again February 26. 1878 with Ole Amundsen. He was only 23 years old and “vognmann” in Larvik – the same profession as Niels. It is reasonable to assume that Ole worked for Niels. Anne Marie was pregnant at the time – and it happened that she died in childbed May 22. 1878 only 39 years old.

In May 1878 Hilda Josefine and her 2 sisters and 3 brothers had no parents (only a new stepfather). As you can see from above, all these children, except Hilda, emigrated to USA. Hilda married later the same year (December 27. 1878) Ole Johannesen Hvaal.

To the right is an old picture exhibiting the house where Niels and Anne Marie lived outside Larvik at Farriseide.

14 The descendants of Hilda and Ole Hvaal

The coding system For all descendants of Hilda and Ole we use a coding system. All persons belonging to the Hvaal family are denoted with H (implying the Hvaal family). Furthermore, in order to distinguish all the H`s we use numbers. The first generation, that is the children of Hilda and Ole, is given by H and one number. Thus H 1 is their oldest child, Nils Hjalmar, H 2 is their next child Johannes Ottar and so on. Lets first give the children: The grandchildren (2nd generation) are given by

Children H and two numbers – divided by a dot – H x.x.

H 1. Nils Hjalmar (1880 – 1918). The great-grandchildren (3rd generation) by H and three numbers (divided by two dots) – H x.x.x H 2. Johannes Ottar (1882 – 1936). and so on.

H 3. Anna Marie (1883 – 1957) The coding follows each person and makes it rather easy to see the family relation between the

H 4. Adolf Otto (1885 – 1955). people and the generations.

H 5. Alf (1886 – 1970).

H 6. Bernhard (1888 – 1964).

H 7. Anne Oline (1890 – 1978).

H 8. Torvald (1892 – 1983).

H 9. Olefine (1893 – 1993).

H 10. Valborg (1894 – 1895).

H 11. Valborg (1896 – 1969). A picture from about 1912. Hilda and Ole with children. From left H 16 Signe, H13 Hulda, H 12 H 12. Magna (1898 – 1983) Magna, H 14 Rut, H 15 Asta and in front H 17 Ole. H 13. Hulda Marie (1899 – 1978) It is a good idea to learn and to become familiar with the coding system. A few points to remember: H 14. rut (1901 – 1991). 1. The first generation is given by H and one number. H 15. Asta (1904 – 2002) 2. The second generation is given by H and two numbers divided by a dot. H 16. Signe (1905 – 1993). 3. The third generation is given by H and three numbers divided by two dots. 4. The relationship within a generation is nearer H 17. Ole (1907 – 1979) the more numbers in the start is equal. Thus; H 2.4.1 (Målfrid) and H 2.4.2 (Mona) are sisters, wheras H 2.4.1 and H 2.1.4 (Doris) are first cousins.

A picture from 1938 – Hilda Josefine is 75 year. On this occasion she has 11 of her children with her. From left (behind) is; H 17 Ole, H 16 Signe, H 15 Asta, H 9 Olefine, H 14 Rut, H 8 Thorvald, H 13 Hulda, H 12 Magna and H 11 Valborg. In front (from left) is H 4 Adolf, Hilda and H 5 Alf. The children not present were those that had died; H 1 Nils, H 2 Ottar and H 10 Valborg. Furthermore the three children emigrated to USA were also absent; H 3 Anna, H 6 Bernhard and H 7 Anne Oline.

Nils Hjalmar – H 1

H 1 Nils Hjalmar Hvaal (11/4 1880 – 15/4 1918). The oldest child in the Hvaal family was Nils Hjalmar and he is coded H 1. He was consequently the one with “odel” (allodial possession) to the farm. He never had a chance to take the farm since he got tuberculosis – which at that time was a sickness with no successful medicine. Nils Hjalmar spent the last time of his life in “Granly tuberkulosehjem” in Sem. He died in the spring of 1918 and is buried at Svarstad church. He had no children.

Hilda

16 Johannes Ottar – H 2

H 2 Johannes Ottar Hvaal (2/2 1882 – 1936). His name in the church books is Johannes Ottar. He used the name Ottar. Since he was the second child he had no allodial possession (odel) to Hvaal – however he bought the farm from his father in 1910. Due to some unknown circumstances Ottar sold the farm back to Ole after a year. Ole then sold the farm out of the family to Kristoffer Wergeland.

Ottar attended the school for police as well as “Underoffiserskolen” (the school for sergeants or “fanejunker”). He was a short period police officer in Oslo. Then he rented the farm Østre Sogn for three years (1912 – 1915). He bought the farm Nedre Solberg in Svarstad from his father in law Martin (Christiansen) Solberg. The family had this farm until 1920. At that time Nils Hjalmar was dead and the allodial possession (odel) for Hvaal was passed over to Ottar. He bought the farm in 1920 and kept it until his death in 1936.

Ottar married Hanna Solberg in Svarstad church (7/2 1906). Ottar was 24 and Hanna 22 years old. They got all together 9 children – all baptized in Svarstad church. Ole (H 2.3) was born on Hvaal the year they had this farm and also Ragnhild, Odd and Håvald were born on Hvaal.

The children are: H 2.1 Helma Ovidia (1906 – 1991)

H 2.2 Mimmi Synnøve (1908 – 1996)

Valborg – H 10

H 10 Valborg Hvaal (11/2 1895 – 2/8 1895). She was born on Hvaal and baptized in Svarstad church. As you can see she was only 6 months when she died. She died from “kikhoste” – whooping cough. This is an infectious sickness which now is medicated by erytromycin (antibiotics). This sick- ness is now avoided since the children are vaccinated before they are one year old.

In this and similar work on other families I have found that many children died – usually from sick - nesses that now can be easily cured. Several women also died in childbed. In the late 1800 and the beginning of 1900 very few died from cancer. The reason for this is that cancer occur late in life – and the average life was much shorter and they 69die d mainly from other sicknesses.

85 Summary

It is time for summing up this family story. The Hvaal family is the story of all those descendants of Hilda and Ole Johannesen Hvaal. We started this research by looking for the ancestors of Hilda and Ole. We have found their parents, grandparents and great grandparents as well as sisters and brothers. All together this part includes about 80 persons.

The main efforts have been made to find the descendants. We have given the fate of the 17 children. One died only 18 months old. Two were not married and had no descendants. The other 15 have many descendants. So far we can give the following.

Children: 17

Grandchildren (barnebarn): 47 – (in 2012 13 are still alive.)

Great grandchildren (oldebarn): 85

Great-great grandchildren (tippoldebarn) : 172

Great-great-great grandchildren (tipp-tippoldebarn): 94 So far.

We have scanty information for some parts of the family and the descendants born durig the last 15 years.
