The Holum genealogy that is found on this website
begins with:
Ingebert
Holum
b. 31 Jul 1830 Norway
d. 04 May 1893 Brooten, Stearns, Minnesota
and
Anne
Simondatter
b. 01 Feb 1826 Norway
d. 25 Jul 1918 Brooten, Stearns, Minnesota
This Holum family migrated from
Norway. At this time, I do not know exactly when they arrived in the
United States, or from which port in Norway they embarked. I do know
they had to have emigrated c. mid 1862 - late 1864. Child #2 (Erick)
was born in Norway in March of 1862, but Annie (child #3) was born in
Wisconsin in November 1864. It appears as though they lived in Wisconsin
for no more than a few years. Child #3 (Annie) was born in November
of 1864 in Wisconsin and child #4 (Ole) was born in Minnesota in November
of 1867. The majority of the Holums
in this line either stayed in Minnesota or migrated to North
Dakota.
