Anders Lee

Anders was born in Sør-Aurdal, Voldera(Valdres), Norway on the Skrukkelia farm on June 22, 1855 and was baptized and confirmed at Nedre Herdals Church in Søendre Aurdal, Norway. His parents were Ola Anderssen Myra, born circa 1824 in South Aurdal and Anne Andersdatter Vestrudiei, born circa 1817. They were married October 4, 1855 in Norderhov, South Aurdal. Anders had one brother, also named Anders born 1860. The Norwiegen custom was to name the first born son after the fathers father and the second born son after the mothers father, in this case they were both Anders.

Ander's grandparents on his fathers side were Anders Olson Nilsebratan and Anne Olsdatter Piltingsrud. Anders was born October 1, 1780 in South Aurdal and Anne was born circa 1784, they were married in 1808 in South Aurdal. Anders died in 1851.

Anders Great Grandparents, Anders Olson Nilsebratan's parents were Ole Anderson Haravika, born circa 1751 in South Aurdal and Anne Hansdatter born circa 1738. Ole died in 1813 and Anne was still living in South Aurdal at that time.

Anders also had two half brothers(same Mother), Martin Jonsen and Gudbrand Gudbrandsen. Anders, Martin and Gudbrand(Gilbert) all imigrated to the United States and took the Lee and their sir name. I don't know if they came together or not or what year the came in, except that it was before 1877 because his first child was born in Minnesota in January of 1877.
