{geni:about_me} Lars Holm wrote a statement in December, 1919 that says he arrived in NY on April 12, 1893. His boat papers state that he arrived in NY on May 1, 1893. He spent 2 weeks on Ellis Island being 'processed'. So, he isright in his statement--but the U.S. doesn't say someone has arrived until they have been 'processed'!

Lars Holm drew a tree for each individual family, sent them to Norway and U.S. families to be filled in with dates and names of family members. The tree that I have uploaded has no name and we have always used it as our 'family crest'. (I guess when I write a book it will be the cover.) I have many of these trees in his handwriting with names of his sisters and their families. I will be uploading them when I can. My aunt, Thelma Lindsey, wrote on them so sometimes they have information past his death that she included.

Lars worked on these 'family trees' in 1933. At that time his youngest daughter, my mother Lilly, had just graduated High School, his wife had died years before (in 1924) and he was very thoughtful of Norway and his life and family there as well as his life in the U.S.

He was fiercely patriotic and believed in helping others. The article about the Red Cross helmet is an example of that.

I will upload other articles about him when I can.

I have many writings from him including his letters of love to his wife (Bertha) before they were married; poems he wrote and even short stories. The stories are very touching and I hope to write a book about his/our family and use them as a base.

He was an inventor and had one of his inventions patented--I am uploading that as well. I have a picture of another invention--a piece for a submarine.

When Nils Jonson Unneland remarried in 1874 and moved with son Lars to an islet, later called Langenes, another word for it was holm. After Lars arrived in the U.S. he observed those around him having trouble with their names andgetting them understood, written correctly, etc. It was then that he decided it was best to use a shorter name rather than a longer name so he decided to become Lars Holm. When his sister's sons came to the U.S. (Robert, Karl and Anton) they took the name Holm also.

Lars Holm would just love to see how the family tree has grown!

{geni:about_me} Nils Jonson Dyrkollbotn married again after his wife died (Ragnhild). He married Kari Simonsdtr Havra in 1874. Lars Holm was 9 years old and he ran away to his sister's home. (I did not put the 2nd wife on the 'board' because the program puts Ragnhild way far away from the new wife and at this time I do not see that they had children.)

Nils giftet seg med Ragnhild Larsdatter Romarheim 19 Okt 1848, Lindås, Hordaland, Norway. Ragnhild (datter av Lars Nilsen Romarheim og Lisbet Larsdtr. Romarheim) ble født 6 Nov 1821 , Romarheim; ble døpt 16 Nov 1821 , Hamre kirke; døde 3 Des 1866, Haus, Hordaland, Norway; ble begravet 9 Des 1866, Haus. [Gruppeskjema] [Familiediagram]
