This is about the patriarchs
These photos include the immigrant patriarch and matriarch of the Ellingboe
family, Christopher (1801-1879)and Berit Ellingbøe (1807-1897), who left
Norway in 1852 to settle in Wisconsin. They are buried in the Jambo Creek
Cemetery. They brought with them 5 children - Helge, Anne, Randi, Anders,
and Gulbrand.
Also in 1852, Knud Thompson (Sandness) (1829-1929) and Anne Torgeirsdatter
Strande (1819-1889) arrived with two children. Knud and Anne are buried in
the Jambo Creek Cemetery. There is some confusion in the information on the
Web site regarding the inscription on the gravestone of both Knud and Anne
Thompson. "HUSTRUTIL " means "wife of". A separate entry for Anne based on
Jambo Creek Church records is mistakenly read as 7 Dec. 1889, whereas it
should be 1 Dec. 1889 and the age should be 71, not 78 (I have a copy of the
records). This is the same as the information on the stone, i.e., not a
separate person. Knud is listed in the Jambo Creek Church burial records
as "Knud Sandness".
The Thompson (Sandness) family survived the sinking of the steamship Atlantic
in Lake Erie on their way to Wisconsin. Five more children were born to them
in Wisconsin. Knud's brother Tosten had immigrated in 1849, via Wisconsin,
to Decorah, Iowa. Knud Thompson served in the Civil War.
The Ellingboe family came from "Nordigarden Ellingbøe" in Vang i Valdres.
I have visited this farm many times and keep in touch with Norwegian relatives.
The Thompson (Sandness) family came from the adjoining county of East Slidre.
Last year I visited the ruins of the house on the farm Sannes (Sandness) on
Windingstad where they lived in before leaving Norway.

Notes for Anne Torgeirsdotter STRANDE
The farm name Tüf was found in the birth record of her daughter Ingeborg.
From Strande, N. Jørstad, Ø. Slidre, Norway.
Immigrated with husband and two children 1852
Family was on steamship Atlantic when it sank in Lake Erie in 1852.
It is not certain that Torgier Torgiersson and Anne Knutsdotter Strande
were the parents of Anne Torgiersdotter Strande, but the probability
is very good considering the family connections, etc. More research
must be done to confirm or reject this connection. According to Ø.
Slidre B, Torgeir married Kirsti Andersdotter Rebne. Was this a second
marriage?
Sources
Marriage was listed in Øystre Slidre Kirkebok, 1849-1874. Vol 1, p. 171.
Located at Statsarkivet Hamar. She was listed as Anne Torgersdatter,
22 years of age, daughter of Torger Torgersen. Place of birth was
illegible, but included Strande.
Notes for Ingeborg Knutsdotter
Immigrated with parents and siblings in 1852.
Family was on the steamship Atlantic when it was sunk in Lake Erie in
1852; all survived.
