My grandmother Dagmar was the last of our line to be born on the family farm, Øvald.
Øvald had lain vacant and bare since the Black Death decimated Norway.
Her 7th great-grandmother, Maria Lukretia von Boeselager, a German immigrant, bought Øvald as a christening gift for her granddaughter, Sophia.

I direct you to the website "Norwegian Genealogy and then some" and an interesting and informative article on the Black Death in Norway by Martin Roe Eidhammer.
The blog NORWEGIAN GENEALOGY AND THEN SOME has many articles of interest should you, as I am, be interested in our Norwegian family history,
Check it out as I highly recommend,
Here also is my post on Øvald → Dagmar's Ancestral Home - Øvald
