In 2018, my granddaughter, Jasmine M. Nelson, before studying in Europe, wanting to travel for eleven days near where the Tronnes\/M gedal families lived in Norway \u0026amp; the Johnson\/Jansson families in Sweden. My close relatives all deceased including my parents, Edna Mae Johnson Tronnes \u0026amp; Elmer Tronnes (Nielsville Minnesota); my grandparents, Olga Victoria Johnson \u0026amp; Henning W. Johnson (Buxton North Dakota); Bertha M gedal Tronnes \u0026amp; Andrew Tronnes (Nielsville Minnesota). I had no one to interview about family history \u0026amp; did not even know the names of great grandparents \u0026amp; other relatives. Thus, I did extensive research on my own in Norway, Sweden, Minnesota, \u0026amp; North Dakota for records. Read about how I felt compelled to attend a Ghost Tour at Bonanzaville, West Fargo North Dakota, \u0026amp; a miracle occurring by discovering Marie Wick. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDoris Teigland Smeby, Grygla Minnesota \u0026amp; Larry D.

Doris Teigland Smeby was the Sexton of the Valle Cemetery, Grygla Minnesota \u0026amp; she found my great grandmother, Johanna Knutsdatter M gedal\/Thompson, her sons, Kornelius Thompson \u0026amp; Andrew M gedal.
