But I'm not aware of any other relatives finding the farm name of Samuel Jorgensen's wife (Glomme), let alone the witnesses named Glomstad in the above microfilms. But then, I was unaware of a lot of work that preceded mine until I was well into the project. A Tretten connection was often mentioned, even (erroneously) in the case of Ole Larson/Lars Paulson. When I think back on the Norway trip of Vernon, Audrey, and Reatha (1979, I think), it seems to me they were thinking of Tretten as connected with Ole and Lars. Perhaps Cousin Linda can shed some light on this. It’s possible, I suppose.

My brain doesn't accept complexities quite as fast as it used to but the gears are starting to mesh a little to hopefully absorb all this information. You added this section to the blog quite awhile back but this is the first time I've made a concentrated effort to sift through it. The name Glomstad appears again! Could Uncle Vernon and Aunt Audrey possibly have known about a Glomstad connection when they made their inn reservations for Tretten area??? What a coincidence. Not only did they (and Reatha) stay there but two successive generations have stayed at Glomstad as well (Myrna, Joyce, Linda and I in our generation, Myrna's daughter Anne in the next generation down, and I'm thinking one of Anne's children might there with too, bringing it down one generation still further.)
