Here is the First Lutheran Church of Lee, baptism record* for Sigri Gunnersdatter and Ole Larson's grandson, Martin Lars Jordal (entry #14) born on June 13, 1844 and baptized July 20, 1844.

The Jordal family

This website documents my Jordal family bloodline from Norway.   The Jordals eventually settled in Milan township, DeKalb County, Illinois.

A family tree can be found online that has been created by another descendant of the Jordal family, Jennifer Gallenbach.     Her comprehensive tree can be found via a Google search by clicking here as well as a tree* I have created in the right hand column under "tree".



*I will make additions to Jennifer's tree as I come across documentation.
