- Anund and Sveinung Olsen Fetvedt America letters, 1868-1885
- Identifier
- P0768
- Date
- 1868-1885
- Description
- Photocopies of letters written by two immigrant brothers to their family in Vinje, Telemark, Norway, beginning with an account of their 1868 journey from Norway and later recording their experiences as Minnesota farmers. The last letters are from Otter Tail County, Minnesota. A genealogical sketch prepared by a descendant of Anund is included. The letters were turned over to F. A. Fedtvedt, Fergus Falls, Minnesota, July 1970, by Margit Fetvedt, Vinge, Telemark, Norway. Letters were received by NAHA 20 November 1970. Subject to recall by Margit Fetvedt, but not likely that such recall will be made. (From notes left by Beulah Folkedahl.)
