Hi,I was just wondering if you know, who I can contact, about my
great-grandmother, who was brought up by foster-parents in the USA,
presumably in Jefferson Prairie, which I’ve read is close to Clinton,
Wisconsin.
They were from Rollag, in Norway, and I’ve contacted someone in Rollag
to Rollag (USA), and they said that many people from Rollag, in
Norway, went to Jefferson Prairie.
So I hope you have some leads for me, perhaps, for who I could speak
with, that maybe knows a lot about Norwegian immigrants from Rollag in
Numedal, in Norway, to Jefferson Prairie.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
yes I have those pages from the Rollag Bygdebøker.
(The library there sent me them, since I contacted them, a few weeks ago).
So I have those scans.
I can try to contact the library in Jefferson Prairie, Wisconsin, and
hear if they have some of information about my great grandmother and
her parents and/or foster-parents.
This link between my family and America, is something that my family
have kept hidden for me.
My father have a new woman, Haldis Humblen, that he has been living
with, since 1980, but not married.
And she has relatives in the Order of St. John, which they also have
kept hidden for me.
And on my mothers side, they have kept hidden, that the baron Adeler,
was in our line.
So there has been a lot of secrecy, in my family, so I have no longer
any bonds to them, so that’s why I have to ask everyone else, about
all these stuff.
So sorry about the inconvenience surrounding this!
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
And when I get more money, I’ll contact Rollag to Rollag back, and
order the book about the people who immigrated to America, from Rollag
in Numedalen.
Thanks very much for the help with this!

En som sier han er Kai Runar Bergum, (aka. Kairo), skrev en kommentar på bloggen
Kai Runar said…
Jeg begynner å bli drit lei av dette. Hvis du snart ikke slutter med beskyldningene dine så kommer jeg til å anmelde deg for å komme med slike beskyldninger og anklager. Du må forstå at jeg ikke kan la dette pågå. Sjekk fakta. Du sendte meg også en melding på facebook ang. saken. Har du ikke noe annet å prate om så hold deg unna. LA SAKEN LIGGE. Ikke spesielt vennlig hilsen fra Kai Runar L. Bergum. Bror til Ole-Tonny.19 January 2010 22:27
https://johncons-blogg.net/2010/01/jeg-sendte-en-anmeldelse-av-christell.html
PS.
Her er mitt svar på dette:
Altså Kairo,
du kan ikke komme nå flere uker seinere, og si ditt og datt.
Nå har jeg anmeldt det, og da må jeg nesten gå videre.
Du skulle ha svart på Facebook-meldingen da, som du ikke gjorde.
Og dessuten, Ole Tonny gikk i klassen min, så det er ikke sånn at jeg kjente Ole Tonny gjennom deg.
Han var en vanlig kar i klassen min, sånn som jeg så det.
Så tidligere klassekamerater må få lov å bry seg, synes jeg.
Og det som jeg egentlig driver med, det er å prøve å finne ut av familien min.
Dvs. Christell og faren min osv., hva de holder på med.
Og da skriver jeg noe som er som en selvbiografi, på blogg.
Siden jeg har overhørt at jeg er forfulgt av noe ‘mafian’, hva nå det er.
Så dette er også del av mitt liv og andre som har bodd på Bergeråsen.
Så nå jeg tar opp alt som har skjedd i mitt liv, så må jeg få lov å få ta opp det jeg har hørt andre snakke om til meg.
Selv om det er en i klassen min som døde.
Mora mi døde for tidlig, og mora til Petter og Christian Grønli døde for tidlig, og Nina Monsen døde for tidlig, osv.
Det er jo ikke noe for å være jævlig mot deg eller familien din det her.
Det her er om mitt liv, så da må jeg få lov å ta opp det som en del av mitt liv, mener jeg.
Dette her var jo for 20 år sida, så det er ikke sånn, at dette var noe som nettopp skjedde osv., lenger.
Det var en trafikkulykke, da Ole Tonny nettopp hadde fått lappen.
Og jeg lurer på om Christell har vært involvert i dette, som noe ‘mob’ eller ‘mafian’, e.l.
Så sånn er det.
Og jeg kan godt prate om andre ting fra Berger jeg, det er bare at du ikke svarer på Facebook-meldingen min så.
Men vi var aldri så kamerater vi, og heller ikke Ole Tonny kanskje, dere var som to vanlige folk som bodde på Bergeråsen, for meg.
Så vi var ikke skikkelig kamerater og vi var ikke uvenner heller, mener jeg.
Du og broren din var liksom bare to vanlige karer på Bergeråsen, for meg.
Så da håper jeg det er greit, at jeg forteller videre det jeg har hørt.
For det mener jeg at man har rett til, å fortelle om det som har skjedd en.
Jeg mener at selv om du var broren til Ole Tonny, så kan ikke du bestemme over klassekameratene til Ole-Tonny f.eks.
Det synes jeg er litt drøyt.
Dette er 20 år siden nå, så dette burde dere ha lært å leve med nå, synes jeg, for å være litt streng.
Så sånn er nok det.
Men jeg skjønner selvfølgelig at det ikke er verdens artigste tema, det forstår jeg godt.
Men nå har jeg overhørt at jeg er forfulgt av noe ‘mafian’ osv., i Oslo, i 2003 og 2004, så da vil jeg gjerne å prøve å finne ut hva som foregår da.
Så sånn er det.
Mvh.

Subject: Re: Complaint to Health Service Ombudsman
To: Phso Enquiries <Phso.Enquiries@ombudsman.org.uk >Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!I sent a letter to the Health Center, on 13/12, and received an answering-letter on 18/12, (which I attach to this e-mail).It says in the letter, from the Practice Manager, that the Health Center wants me to meet a doctor there, and not the Practice Manager, for a meeting.But I don't really like the Health Center, any longer, unfortunatly, since I didn't like the nurse or the doctor.Do I have to go to the meeting, or can I ask the Health Center if they can deal with the complaint in writing?When I think about it, it just seems a bit awkward, to me, to go back to Health Centre, so I would have thought it was better to deal with it in writing.Do you think this is possible to achieve, that the complaint is being dealt with in writing?I don't mean to be inpolite, or anything, but I'm more comforable with dealing with the complaint in writing, also since English isn't my first language, and I think that if the complaint is being dealt with in writing then it's easier to avoid, that people try tricks etc., in meetings, since summaries aren't always written and aren't always accurate etc.So I was just wondering if you think it's possible to deal with complaints like this in writing, without me having to go to the Health Centre for a complaint-meeting, since I think it's a bit awkward now, going there, after how the nurse and the doctor were there, the last time I went there.Thank you very much in advance for your reply!Yours sincerely,Erik Ribsskog

receiving the final response from the
practices you remain unhappy, it is then open to you to re-approach the
Ombudsman. You will need to explain specifically what was wrong with their response to your complaint and to state what
you want the Ombudsman to do. At that point we will look at your complaint
carefully to decide if we can help. There is no automatic right to an
investigation by the Ombudsman; there has to be a good reason for her to
investigate a complaint.You should send us copies of any relevant correspondence and
papers which you have. We will also need written permission to obtain any papers
and records connected to the complaint, and to know whether legal action is
being taken about it (as that may prevent the Ombudsman from looking at the
complaint).If you need direct help or advice in making a complaint, you
should contact your regional Independent Complaints Advocacy Service (ICAS)
office. You can find their details from the
following link:http://www.carersfederation.
co.uk/what-we-do/icas/office_ results.php?region=north_west ICAS is a voluntary organisation providing independent
advocacy to people making complaints under the NHS complaints
procedure.I note that part of your
complaint is about not being allowed to register with a GP practice. You may
find the following link helpful that explains about registering with GP
practices:http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/
