In the case of Troøyen, I carried the Norwegian spelling down to Americans who spell it Trooien - sorry!Īncestors of Per Persen Vinsnes Generation No. Sometimes I've used Norwegian characters and often even in Norway, the farm names (surnames) are spelled differently. Watch out for spelling differences for names. If you are from the Hendricks area and of Norwegian descent, look at the index in the back of the book as you might be amazed to find your immigrant, parent, grandparents are here.

Since so many descended from this one person, I thought he deserved a book all of his own. It became apparent that there was one person found in the ancestry of almost all of the immigrants to the Hendricks area Per Persen Vinsnes, born 1638! In fact, one or both of the people in that original wagon train was a descendant of Per making it easy to say that ALL descendants of the “Trekkers”, are descendants of Per. The 3rd part of the Trilogy contains family stories of many of the early settlers. Books have been published defining the ancestry and descendants of those honored ancestors, and a book The Hendricks Trilogy was published in 2010 that not only included The Immigrants Trek, but also a Masters Thesis of Jens Winsnes of Trondheim giving us a unique insight to the conditions that led to the migration. Researching the ancestry first of those on the wagon train, and then expanding to anyone who came from the areas of Singsaas, Haltdalen, Soknedal, and Haltdalen, the file now has over 10,000 names. It was Sunday, we were invited to church, and from then to now has been an amazing journey.

Bev and I found the church there in Hendricks and were amazed it was the Singsaas Lutheran Church and in the front was a monument to those settlers on the wagon train. They stopped at the border between Minnesota and the Dakota Territory founding the town of Hendricks! I promised them I would go there the next summer on my return from the Winsness farm in North Dakota. During my first trip to Norway in 2001, it seemed everyone I met asked about a town named Hendricks Minnesota, however, I had no idea even where it was located! They told me of an incredible set of emigrants from the area who organized a wagon train in 1873 across the Minnesota prairie. With incredible support of Dag Einar Winsnes, Jens Winsnes, Ann-Carin Bøyesen, and the leader of dis-Norge (Norway's Genealogical Organization) Torill Johnson, the results have been amazing.
