The Charcoal Burner's Legacy
John Levorson Goplerud founded the Goplerud family. He lived in central Norway from 1724 to 1801 and he made charcoal for the early iron industry. Thus he and all his descendants are known as the "Charcoal Burner Family." He had 6 children who took the names: Goplerud, Aspholt, Lindelien, Lundo (Lundene), Landsen, and Stugaarden. Those are the 6 "branches" in this book. There have been more than 100,000 descendants of this family. Descendants came to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota in the mid-1800's. Over 10,500 are listed in this book, more than half distributed widely in the U.S.A. with large numbers also in Norway (especially Valdres, Ringerike, Hallingdal and Oslo). Includes ancestors to the 1400's (with conjecture to 65 B.C.) together with family and locality history.
