Peder Eriksen Rønningen (1852–1939) Notes: FamilySearch ID: LDY7-B6R Until the railroad station was built in 1921, there was no town of Oppdal – only the parish that spanned the Sundal valley to just west of Lonset, and the Driva valley for 5 or 6 miles north and south. Rønning / Rønningen is a habitational name from any of over 100 farmsteads mostly in eastern Norway and Trøndelag, from Old Norse Ryðningr, from ruð meaning ‘clearing’.

Vaccination (smallpox): December 31, 1852. 1874 October 23 – Birth of son Edvard in Oppdal. Age: 22 According to the 1875 Census (in Orkdal), Edvard was born in Oppdal parish. Of course, the interesting (and unknown) story here is why was Edvard’s mother, Andrea Jonsdatter Øien – a woman whose family resided in Orkdal – living in Oppdal? She must have been in Oppdal since at least February, 1874, and given that travel during late winter was challenging in those days, she had probably been in Oppdal since summer or fall 1873. Shortly after Edvard’s birth, the nascent family of Peder, Andrea, and Edvard traveled to Orkdal, where Edvard was baptized on November 28. One possibility, in the late 1800s there was an Øien farm near where Oppdal Station exists today, and another farm on the south side of River Driva, about 9 miles (14 km) west of Oppdal. Maybe these folk were relatives of the Øiens in Orkdal, and Andrea had traveled to Oppdal for an extended stay? She would have been about 27 years old (certainly not a naive young girl), but the marriage register lists her as “Pige”, implying that she had not been previously married.

Peder Eriksen Rønningen January 21, 2021 Revision 0.12 8 On close inspection, the structures in these two pictures appear to be the same – placement and panes in windows, position and slant of timbers in the front walls (and although many houses in the area were built with a similar layout and appearance, the slanted flue pipe on the roof would probably be unique). If this is the case, then the lower picture which appears to have a train in the background, means that this house must have been located between the Gamle Kongeveld highway and railroad tracks (close to where E6 is now). This would place it closer to the Halset farm Peder Eriksen Rønningen January 21, 2021 Revision 0.12 9 Above photograph and typewritten note is from Inga Groset’s photo album. Obviously “mid-1940’s” date is wrong. The note was probably typed a number of years after the actual event. 1939 March 9 – Death At age 87, residing in Oppdal. 1939 March 17 – Buried Buried Oppdal Kirkegårdene, Oppdal. http://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/bilde.php?id=1090617 FindAGrave Memorial ID: 206897328 (created Feb 6, 2020) Peder Eriksen Rønningen January 21, 2021 Revision 0.12 10 Edvard Pedersen Rønning (1874–1963) Notes: FamilySearch.org ID: 1874 October 23 – Birth Birthplace: Rønning farm near Oppdal, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway Father: Peder Eriksen Rønningen (1852–1939) Mother: Andrea Jonsdatter Øien (1847–1927) 1874 November 28 – Baptism Place: Orkdal Church in Fannrem, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway Sponsors: Anders Jonsen Øien Ingeborg P Christen Jonsen Øien Karen Jonsdatter Øien Ole A Index: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi- win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=5&filnamn=dp16381870&gardpostnr=753&personpostnr=5866&merk=5866#ovre Citation: Sør-Trøndelag fylke, Orkdal, Ministerialbok nr. 668A07 (1870-1880), Fødte og døpte 1874, side 37.

The church in background is the “old” one, so this scene must be pre-1890. 1875 December 31 – Norwegian Census Edvard is 1 year old, residing at Øien farm near Orkdal with his parents and maternal grandparents. http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi- win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f71638&personpostnr=1486&merk=1486 Edvard’s entry indicates that he was born in Oppdal (see page 3). 1876 October – Relocate from Orkdal to Oppdal Age: 2 years. Edvard’s parents, and his baby brother Johan move back to Oppdal (based on Johan’s baptismal record).
