Guri Olsdatter Bjelde was born 19 Mar 1846 in Aurland, Norway. Bethania Ministerial Records state she was the daughter of Ole Vingom. Minnesota records for naturalization and for her death, give the name as Winjum.
She married Andreas Nils Bjelde about 1867 in Norway. Andreas Nils Bjelde was born in Norway in March 1845.
They were the parents of 8 children. Six of their children were as follows: Rev. Nels Andreas 19 Nov 1869-23 Jan 1952 (Louise Inger Sandeno), Rev. Peter A. 2 Jul 1872-26 Nov 1955 (Lukris Oium 1 Feb 1872-24 Mar 1959), Anna 20 Aug 1876-26 Sep 1960, Guttorm "Gilbert" Andrew 6 Nov 1878-27 Jul 1947, Malla "Martha" 18 Jan 1881-6 Sep 1965 (Ingeman Sanford, Sr. 6 Jun 1885-12 Jul 1964), Andrias "Gerhard" 13 Jul 1884-4 Jul 1972 (Clara J. Stene 24 Aug 1887-9 Jan 1973). Their son Peter was a missionary to Madagascar.
Andreas and Guri came to America on the ship Campania. They departed from Liverpool, England and sailed to New York, NY arriving on 9 Jun 1894. Traveling with them were their children, Anna, Guttorm, Malla(Martha), and Gerhard. Their destination was Cannon Falls, MN.
The 1895 state census for Kenyon Township, Goodhue County, MN shows Andreas and Guri Bjelde, both age 50, Nils age 25, Guttorm age 16 and Gerhard age 10 living and farming there. Andreas is shown to be a teacher and Gerhard is living with their neighbors, the Nelson family. He is a farm laborer.
By 1900 the Federal Census shows them living in Norman County, Lee Township, MN. Andreas is now listed as a farmer and his wife, Guri, and four children, Peter A., Guttorm, Malla and Andrias Gerhard, live together. Land records show they live and farm in Section 29 of Lee Township just east of Perley. In 1905 the state census shows Gerhard still living with his parents, but their older children, Nils and Anna have joined them.
Guri's grave marker shows she died 19 Jun 1908, but the Minnesota Death Index shows that she died 15 Jun 1908. There is no funeral for Guri found in the Bethania Ministerial Records.
An examination of church book entries from Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway, shows that Andreas returned to Norway following Guri's death. He is listed as having married Ingeborg Andersdatter of "Norman County Min. USA" on 22 June 1909 in Norway. Ingeborg is listed as having been born in 1853, daughter of Anders Anderssen Veum. Andreas and Ingeborg are listed as passengers on the SS Mauretania manifiest for a July 1909 voyage from Liverpool to Ellis Island, NY.
Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway church book entries also show that Andreas passed away on 29 Feb 1932, and was buried on 8 Mar 1932. He would have been nearly 87 at the time of his death.
