Oscar Thomas
 Born Jan. 13, 1877 in Mission Hill, SD
 Father Andrew (Sylliaasen) Simonson
1844-1930 in Ringsaker, Hedmark, Norway
 Mother Lina Christiansdatter Berg
1853-1922 in Fåberg, Oppland, Norway
 Parents were first cousins
 More than anyone else Martha has shaped the Atle
Svanoe family and descendants. It is time for the
family to honor her and her background from Norway.
The Syljuåsen farm is where Andrew Simensen Sylliaasen grew up. He emigrated in
1867.
 Sylliaasen became Syljuåsen around
1900.
 The Syljuåsen family name translates to
“the tree on the hill”. The first syllable,
“Sylju”, is the name of a fairly common
deciduous tree which looks something like
a medium sized birch or larch. The second
phrase, 'ås', means hill, and the 'en' ending
is the equivalent of the word 'the'. Thus,
the name literally translates “the tree hill”.
 The farm was purchased in 1845 and has
been in the family ever since.

 (Rolf is the great grandson of Andrew Simonson, the first

  • 31. The Syljuåsen farm is where Andrew Simensen Sylliaasen grew up. He emigrated in 1867.
  • 32.  Sylliaasen became Syljuåsen around 1900.  The Syljuåsen family name translates to “the tree on the hill”. The first syllable, “Sylju”, is the name of a fairly common deciduous tree which looks something like a medium sized birch or larch. The second phrase, 'ås', means hill, and the 'en' ending is the equivalent of the word 'the'. Thus, the name literally translates “the tree hill”.  The farm was purchased in 1845 and has been in the family ever since.
