Harold was born in Minnesota. It appears that Siblings Pearl and Esther were born in

Mpls MN. home. Julia, Mattie and Karen worked in Mpls MN for many years

at the former Crosby Family owned by FW Crosby & Harriot Mansion on

2120 Park Ave S. Mpls. and the other mansion built across the street for

their children, Elizabeth Crosby Family Mpls. Karen got married in later years.

Harold's Siblings used to keep in contact with our Family in Norway. Mattie and

Karen had a family contact in Norway that this writer's family has lost touch with.

Our Cousins may have been communicating with their Father Peter's Brother

Ole G. Øverjordet, his family or other relatives in Norway. Ole passed away

in 1972 in Gausdal Oppland Norway. ( Ole 5/24/1882-5/24/1972, lived in Norway.)

In the early 1900'a the Øverjordet Family, some relation to Hannah, purchased what

used to be the Olsen Family Mellemsdokken Farm of Anton Olsen's Family near Vinstra Norway. The Family that originally lived there around 1915 changed her name to the Norwegian Family Farm Name via Norwegian tradition to Mellemsdokken initially according to Norwegian Farm Name Custom.

Harold's Aunt Hannah's Grandchild, G.Grandchildren visited the Farm in Norway,

and other places in Norway our family live d and met some relatives in Norway in 2011.

There are many Jordet Family members on Family Search website for the Twin Cities

Metro area, other parts of MN and other states. Their relationship if any

unknown at this time as of 2014.

Harold's Cousins, Hannah Olson's Grandson and Alma Wickstrom's Son,

as well as Aless Olsen's Daughter remember visiting the Jordets at

their Family farm in Moose Lake when they were younger. Hannah's

Grandson remembers Harold being a wonderful man and Family cherish

their fond memories of Harold. Harold and Geri continued their relationship

with Harold's Olson/Olsen Cousins until throughout their lives. Harold used to

work near where Aless Olsen worked in Mpls MN and they spent much time

together. Harold and Geri spent time with their cousin Oline Olson Carlson's

family at her home in N. Mpls MN. Harold and Geri spent time with Oline Olson Carlson, Aless Olsen Family, Harold Olsen Family and Art Olsen Family at Oline's and

other Family events. Harold and Geri had at least three children,

Linda and David and Rosanne.
