Going back further - Christina Forbragd was the daughter of Sievert (Sivert, Severt, Siver or Syver) Forbragd (or Forbregd) originally from Tronheim (1831-1916), and Anne Margreta Martinsdatter (Annie) Helmar from Norland (1835-1911). Sievert immigrated from Verdalen, Norway to Chicago in 1881 and then moved to Dakota Territory where he worked as a carpenter. In 1883 he sent for Annie and six of their nine children, ranging in age from 24 to 4 1/2. They had one more child in Dakota Territory and homesteaded 160 acres in Logan Township, Minnehaha County.

Sievert Forbragd's parents were Peder Joensen Forbragd and Serianna Jorgensdatter. Written records of the Forbragd farm, located west of Leksdalsvannet in Verdalen, go back to 1520.

On the Opland side, according to a posting on the family names website, Kristian Kristiansen Opland was the third of six sons of Kristian Pedersen Opland (born 1840 in Mule Langberget) and Jonetta Olsdatter (born 1841 in Ryesplass Einbakken, died 1919). Kristian Pedersen was originally called "Muleplass", but changed his name to "Opland" when he moved to the Opland farm, Opland Vollahaugan. The six sons were:

1. Martin Kristiansen, b. 1865, emigrated 1881 to South Dakota
2. Edvard Kristiansen, b. 1867, d. 1949. Married twice, had 3 children & at least 3 grandchildren on the Opland farm
3. Kristian Kristiansen, b. 1870, emigrated 1888 to South Dakota
4. Anders Kristiansen, b.1872, emigrated 1893 to South Dakota
5. Peder Kristiansen, b. 1874, emigrated 1893 to Michigan. Married to Karen Haftorsdatter Langorgen, b. 1874 in Langorgen Bugta
6. Ole Kristiansen, b. 1880

This does not quite match my recollection of the information we got from a book my grandfather Alfred Opland brought back from Norway.
I thought it gave at least two more generations of Oplands on the Opland farm and traced the family back to a character called Spel Ole, or Spelman Ole. His son would have been Peder Olesen or Olsen, the father of Kristian Pedersen. We may never know, because we don't know what has become of that book. Might just have to go looking for another one!
