The Kaski & Untiedt Family Trees

 In the 1980s, some of my mother's cousins put together a family cookbook titled "Family Fare Cookbook". In the collection are some recipes from my Aunt Lavonne and Uncles Don and Howard. So they may live on in my generation and my kids, I've captured those recipes below.

My paternal grandmother was a Morud. Her father, Berger, immigrated to the US from Norway; at immigration to the U.S. his name was changed from Maurud to Morud. I recently came to learn that Maurud was actually the name of the place in Norway where he lived. My records had indicated Gjovik Norway as his place of birth, and so initially I never looked beyond that. See the Google Map screenshots below to acclimate yourself to the area. The area is now a ropes climbing course and fun vacation spot.  https://helgoyaklatrepark.no/galleri/

Elroy is my grandfather on my father's side; so this is filling in all the blanks I have related to my siblings, their spouses, and kids, as well as my spouses and their siblings and spouses and kids.

I NEED HELP I've been digging through Ancestry for data on my paternal grandfather, Elroy Kaski, and am trying to build a comprehensive descendant tree for his parents, Mariah Alvina and Peter August. Since data on living people is usually protected, it can be hard to have a high degree of comfort when connecting trees. So, for each spouse who married in to that familial line, I am also gathering data of the spouse's parents, siblings, and grandparents. Having that extra information on the spouse's line, not only helps to tell the story of our direct relatives, but also makes it much easier to trace the relative through all the twists and turns of life. The ASK I'm breaking this down to 5 separate posts, each focused on a different child of Peter August and Mariah Alvina; maybe you hold the key that fits the door to that information. Do you k now the answer to any of my inquiries below?   Post a Comment at the bottom of this page.  Note: All comments require my approval...
