Notes from Janet on her family compilations:
Kittleson family: This is the story of the background of the Kittelson family and the successful search for the present day family. The biggest thrill was a phone call from California in 1975 from Clyde Kittleson, cousin of Ole Madson. Ole Madson’s mother, Sigrid (or Sarah or Siri Olsdatter) Kittleson and Clyde’s father, Charley Kittleson were sister and brother. Sigrid Kittleson married Lars Sebjornsen (Seberson) in America in 1857 and died in 1861 at the age of 27 on the day she gave birth to Ole Madson. She and Lars also had two other children. See the Ole Madson-Seberson material. Lars Seberson remarried after her death.
Ole Madson - Seberson family: This is the story of the search for the family history of Ole Madson, grandfather of O. Jerome Madson. The only beginning piece of information we had was from the Traill County, North Dakota court house record stating Ole Madson was bron in Freeborn County, Minnesota, father was “Mats Matson,” and date and cause of death. From the Freeborn County seat of Albert Lea, we went to the town of Hartland where Mads Madson (Jr.) had farmed a century earlier. The search progressed and eventually evolved into the Seberson family. See Mads Amdson (Sr.) material for further Madson history. See Kittleson family material for background of Ole Madson’s mother. See Fugleberg-Thykeson material for history of his wife, Anna Fugleberg-Thykeson. For descendants, see books on Milton H. Madson, Sr., children and grandchildren.
Milton H. Madson, Sr. and children: This is about the father of my husband, O. Jerome Madson. Also see Milton H. Madson, Sr. WWI material for further information. Also included are the childhoods of Buddy and his two sisters and brother.
Children and grandchildren of Milton H. Madson, Sr.: This is about the two sisters and 1 brother of O. Jerome Madson and their families. -

Jason M. Burns thesis, 2000
A thesis submitted to the Department of History, the University of West Florida for the degree of Master of Arts, 2000. 130 p. Abstract: The remains of the Norwegian ship 'Catherine' were archaeologically documented in 1998. Built in 1870, it served 20 years in the British merchant marine and was eventually sold to Norwegian owners. Drawn to Pensacola, Florida, by its growing lumber industry, the newly named 'Catherine' attempted to make the pass and grounded on August 7, 1894. In 1998 the National Park Service requested that the Archaeological Institute at the University of West Florida document the site archaeologically and provide conservation treatment to artifacts recorded from the site. Chapter 3 discussed Pensacola's rise as a lumber port, Norwegian shipping within Pensacola and Pensacola's historical Norwegian community as a whole. "Little Norway" encompassed less than one square mile and was home to most of Escambia County's 220 Norwegian residents, (p.32). Norwegian Seamen's Church was established 1876, closed 1921, with most Norwegian parishioners being absorbed by Immanuel Church.
