The Story So Far
This page starts the pre-Palmer Stadum story as a living genealogy object: people, dates, places, migrations, and documents connected together.
The ancestor chart identifies Petter Hanson Stadum as an earlier Stadum ancestor in Norway, with Petter Pederson Norby as his son. A later descendant chart identifies Peder Pederson Norby, born July 2, 1835 in Gran, Hadeland, Norway, and Ingeborg Slaatland, born in 1845 in Hadeland, Norway, as a key couple in the line that later reaches Esmond, Benson County, North Dakota.
The descendant chart places their children across Norway, Minnesota, and North Dakota, including Pete Anton, John Johannes, Annie, Carl Martin, Karen Carrie, Andrew Anders, Sophie, and Inga Petrine. Palmer Alvin Stadum appears later in the kinship report as part of this wider family chain.
