Finnestad Ancestry

Here is the 1950 US Census for Frances Julia (Finnestad) Svetica and her husband, Peter Svetica. Frances and Peter, located on lines 15 and 16 of the census, were living in DeKalb, DeKalb county, Illinois.    Peter was employed as a manager of a food store. Frances Julia (Finnestad) Svetica was the daughter of Caroline (Quitno) and Ole (Olson) Finnestad Jr. and the granddaughter of  Mari (Iversdatter Nord-Skaar) and Ole (Olson) Finnestad Sr.    

The above record from Calvary Lutheran Church in Lee County, Illinois indicates the youngest daughter of Ole and Caroline Finnestad was baptised rather late in life. She was baptized at the age of 8 on February 15, 1909 the same day as her older sister, Lettie was married. Note the record lists her middle name as Julina, which I have also seen on documents as Julia. In attendance for her baptism were her brother, Oliver Finnestad, and Jane, Coral and Herman Quitno, possibly cousins.
