I have written about the Hval Church before.  This is the church where my great-grandmother (Berthe Larson) and great-grandfather (Nub Fredrickson) were married at in Ringerike, Buskerud, Norway.  I have also mentioned that the Church was located near my gg-grandparent's (Lars and Raghnild Gudbrandson Haselhaugen) farm.  Evidently it was actually on the Haselhaugen farm.  I have just found a source that stated that when the Hval Church was constructed "it was built on the grounds of a former church at Hasalhaugen".  The picture is of the Haselhaugen farm.  ¶ 1:00 PM 0 comments

 
I have two 6th great grandfathers who fought in the Revolutionary War.  Thomas Carson from Washington County, Pennsylvania and Basil Burgess from Queen Anne's County in Maryland. Thomas was an emigrant from Scotland and was a private.  Basil came from a well established family and was an officer.  The picture shows what Basil's pension would have been for his role in the War.  ¶ 9:01 AM 0 comments
