Finnestad Ancestry

Ole and Mari Finnestad's granddaughter, Isabel Josephine (Vallem) and husband Ole P Hall were buried at Lawnridge Cemetery in Rochelle, Illinois. Here is a closeup of Isabel's marker. Isabel Josephine Vallem was born July 29, 1882 and died January 5, 1938. Isabel was the daughter of Rachel (Finnestad) and Lewis Vallem. Below is a close-up of Ole's marker.

Here is the 1910 US Census for Ole and Mari Finnestad's granddaughter, Isabel Josephine Hall, her husband Ole and son Oral. They were living in Malta Township, DeKalb County, Illinois during the 1910 census. Isabel Josephine Hall was the daughter of Rachel and Lewis Vallem.

I had previously posted the 1900 US Federal Census which listed Ole Sr & Mari living between daughter Rachel and her children and Ole Jr & Caroline and family. On the page (above) where Ole and Caroline's daughters, (Carrie) Evelyn and Lillian were listed as "boarders" in the Oftedal household, you will see at the top of the census document, Rachel and Lewis' eldest son Peter, wife Lena and son Lawrence living next to Rachel and Lewis' daughter, Isabel Josephine, husband Ole Hall along with their son Oral and Ole's father, Peter. This is the Alto township, Lee County, Illinois census record
