Welcome to my Genealogy Pages!

Tore Nygaard - born in Oslo, Norway - living in Linköping, Sweden.

My own biography (norwegian only).             Hurtigruten in May 2014.

My genealogy pages are divided into five sections. The first four sections are organized according to the regions where my grandparents were born and/or their ancestors lived. The last section, The Middle Ages, represents the ancestors of the families at the farms O in Vang and Botner in Høland via Sigurd Havtorsson to Giske, District Judge and Council of the Kingdom.

The five sections are:
• Mainly Østfold (Askim, Eidsberg, Trøgstad, Rødenes) and Akershus (Høland, Fet, Enebakk).
  The credible connection between the younger and older (see The Middle Ages) families
  at Botner in Løken, Høland, and O in Vang is described here.
  
• Denmark (Copenhagen, Frederiksværk, Frederiksborg, Roskilde, Maribo, Randers and Haderslev).
• Sør-Trøndelag (Malvik, Tydal, Haltdalen, Stjørna, Nes, Røros), Nord-Trøndelag (Inderøy),
  Oppland (Vågå, Lom, Skjåk, Lesja, Nord-Fron, Sør-Fron, Ringebu, Øyer, Fåberg) and Hedmark (Romedal in Stange).
  A significant update covering well known family biographies and graphical overviews in Gudbrandsdalen in the Late Middle Ages.
  In addition, updated biographies, in particular from Haltdalen, Singsâs and Tydalen. Among those, the catastrophic consequences of the return of the swedish troops through the area after the attack on Trondheim in 1718/19 as an appendix to the biography of Peder Gudmundzsen Aas Lunden/Hilmo..
• Troms (Karlsøy, Tromsøsund, Balsfjord, Malangen, Målselv, Lenvik, in addition Trondheim and Bodø).
• The Middle Ages (starting at in the farms O in Vang and Botner in Høland via Sigurd Havtorsson to Giske, District Judge and Council of the Kingdom). Significant updates and corrections including material from Lars Løberg and source-based material from Wikipedia

The individual ancestor pages are written in Norwegian.
I recommend the service by Google on translations to other languages. You will find more information on the service here.
Comments are welcomed!

I have rejected the asumed line of relationships between Sjøfar Sjøfarsen at Søndre Sæther in Baastad, Trøgstad, via the families at Østby in Skjeberg (the so-called «Rosensverd»-family) and Aasa Ulvsdatter at Elingaard in Onsøy to Jon Havtorsson at Sudreim to Borregaard!

I have found some errors in the litterature concerning Troms, More information in Norwegian is found here..
