I have included a Genealogy Report for the Descendants of Hallvard Paa Roaldstad. The 4th through the 12th generations descendants are a match of the 10th through 16th generations ancestors of the Genealogy Report of my grandfather Ralph Clifford Anderson through his great grandmother Kari Jørgensen (Halvorsdatter). This connection starts with my 9th great-grandparents Torbjorn Vraalstad Jørgensen and Sigid Bjornsdatter and ending with my 17th great-grandparents Olaf Roaldstand and Signe (unknown).

I am doing futher research on this connection.
