Karen and Gary Windheim

The Oksendal / Trefall stories told here are collected by Karen Windheim. She is the wife of Gary Windheim, grandson of Kari and Rasmus Oksendal, the "main family" in these stories. Gary is son of Anna Oksendal, the third child of Kari and Rasmus, and her husband Lyman Erving Windheim. Kari's maden name was Kari Nilsdotter Trefall, daughter of Nils Jonson Ekse (1859-1938) and Anna Johnsdotter Trefall (1869-1947), Gary's and mine greate grand parents.

Karen has done a greate work in collecting both geanological data and stories, from both sides of Gary's family. The Windheim side, which also are coming from Norway, from Vindheim in Fjaler in Sundfjord, and the Trefall / Oksendal side. The result is the book "History and Genealogy of the Windheim-Pierson Oksendal-Trefall Families", published in 2005. I am very greteful to Karens, giving me permission to use her material in my project of collecting data about emmigration from Eksingedalen, presented on these pages. And thanks to Hugo Solhaug who tould Karen and Gary about my pages at www.trefall.com, which results in this contact wiht an unknown second cousine "over there".
Karen and Gary are living in Bend, Oregon, USA. More about Karen and her project in the preface from her book.
