I am researching the following families:
MIKKELSON:The Mikkelson family came from Norway, town of Hordaland, lived on the Grindheim farm.People in the 1800 century often took the farm-name where they lived and made it their surname.Others took his/hers fathers name and made this the surname.In some cases two brothers could end up with different surnames. This is how Mikkel Olson Grindheim's son Ola became Ola Mikkelson Grindheim.After arriving in the U.S.A the farm name was dropped in some cases.
