Peder Pederson Digre

(24 Jun 1844 - 1916)

On March 3, 2004 I received the following email from a Digre descendant:

Jim,
I just came across your website and can I say WOW!
I am not even sure where to start except for my GGrandfather was Peder (Pederson) Digre in 1877 he immigrated to with his wife Marit, their daughter Marit and his Mother-in-Law Kjirsti Angrinsdatter.
Peder was born 24 Jun 1844 and died sometime in 1925. Peder and Marit had 8 children, Marit (b.1875), Christie (b.1878), Petra (1879), Maria (1882), Peter (1884), Henry (My GGranfather) (1886), Martin (1891), Anton (1893). Petra married a Trooien (Peder Nilson) and so did Anton, he married Christie (Trooien) and her Grandmother Guri lived with them for awhile.
My GGrandfather Henry and his wife Emma (Rude) had 7 children and 2 are still living today. One in Minneapolis and the other in California. Belive it or not the oldest (Vivian b.1914) and the youngest (Joyce b. 1926) and both still have very good memories.
Well I am not sure where to go from here, but I hope to here from you soon, and we maybe can help each other out.
Thanks and Take Care,
James J Seligman
