Description
A collection of family history materials related to Janet Marie Chistopherson Madson’s family. Includes a mixture of clippings, genealogical records, photographs, correspondence, and more.
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.
