Much of our family tree is constructed on the Descendants of a Norwegian Sea Captain, OLE OLSEN RAVNSBORGHAUGEN (1825 to 1906), who was at sea nearly 40 years and captained the sailing ship FRIGG AF CHRISTIANA. He had two families. Two of his first family sons and a family of VOLDS from Norway came to the U.S.A. in 1882 on this sailing ship and settled in Dicky County near Oaks, N.D.. They eventually immigrated to the District of Asker, near Ponoka, Alberta, Canada in 1898, where they were joined by several other Norwegian settlers and more Ravnsborgs. Many Ravnsborgs still live in the area. This family tree includes many Volds and also families Anderson and Veitch related by marriage.
Not much is known about the members of Ole's second family, except that Theodore's sons, Leif and (John)Ole Johannes Ravnsborg also came to America.I have information on John's family who live in B.C., but no information on Leif's family who settled in Minnesota, or on other members of the second family.
I would appreciate any other information on these families and any contact with current day relatives.
