Bård Hallvardson Nedrelo was the local chairman of the Thranerøsia in the Borgund kommune. The Thrane movement was a labor reform movement organized by Markus Thrane. The movement wanted unions and labor reforms that the government didn't want. The movement was considered illegal. Movement members and leaders were resisted and punished by the government, including Bård. Bård had a strong belief in the ideals of the Thrane movement, the government didn't like him and harassed him, he got discouraged, and he sold his farm and emigrated to America in 1853. The family lived first in Muskego, WI and moved on to Winneshiek Co., IA. Source: Lærdal Bygdebok I Heim og Ætt Borgund Sokn Page 167 (Kindly translated by Neil Hofland 2009)
