It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the tragic and untimely death of Kyle Brooks Reigstad (Marta) 7, age 16. He is the son of Randy Lee Reigstad (Marta) 6, grandson of Rolland Clair Reigstad (Marta) 5 and great-grandson of Russel Oliver Reigstad (Marta) 4.
On the early morning of Sunday, August 21st, Kyle Brooks Reigstad and two other DeForest, Wisconsin USA area high school students were killed when their pickup truck veered off the interstate highway, struck a pillar and burst into flames. All three teenagers died at the scene.
In his immediate family, Kyle is survived by his parents, Randy & Phyllis Reigstad, his brother Brady Reigstad and his sister Amber Reigstad, as well as a nephew (Wyatt) that held a very special place in Kyle's heart.
If anyone in the extended Reigstad family would like to express their sympathies through mailing a card or note, you can send it to:

Name: Johnny Reigstad <freigsta@online.no> Date: 2005-08-17 How did you hear about this website? On the AOL search page Where do you fit in? My grandfather was from the southernmost farm on Reigstad Comments:
Hi
This was realy a great page. Good to see that the name of the Reigstads are living well in the US. My grandfathers uncle, Endre Reigstad, went to the US around 1905. Sadly he died in 1919 and his wife remarried after that. My grandfather remembered that this Endre had a son and that this son visited Osterøy along with his mother. They have not heard anything from them since. My grandfather is no a man well over the 90's, fit like a bull and still very interested in hearing about relatives around Norway and abroad. Could you, by any chance, see what you can do in your end about Endre Reigstad??? I am working offshore and are doing my tour now so the books with names are not available for me at the present time.
Regards

Keeping up my tradition, I'd like to wish every member of our family, near or far, big or small, a merry Christmas and a lovely New Year. I just got home from Gran Canary yesterday, and today the heaven is pouring down snow, helping me achieve that Christmas-feeling that's been lacking all month. (Bit difficult to understand that it's Christmas in Gran Canary with 17-19*C each day! ;-) )
And to Colleen; thanks for all your help with my project and the other mails. It's nice to be in touch with the American branch of my family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Colleen, I seem to keep running into you. I have been doing some research for a writing class, where we have to come up with an interesting book idea. I had the idea to write about the big split in the Norway Lake congregations. I noticed that Ole Reigstad was one of the negotiators for the majority (East Norway Lake church) in this big fight and was looking for a little more information about the battle from the Reigstad family perspective. Did this split the Reigstad family? I know it split the Skindelien family, with the girls going with the majority and the boys going with the minority. Did Ole ever leave anything behind that gives some glimpse into his feelings and thoughts?

This is very exciting to me finding this site!
I was just browsing the internet on family names and to my astonishment, there was the picture on your site that I have had in a big oval frame for years, passed on to me from my father, Nardy Paulson. This oval picture was my great grandmothers. However, I have very limited information regarding the picture until now, your site has answered my questions regarding this picture!
Nardy (my father) is the son of Martin Krohn Paulson, Martin Krohn is the son or Andrew Paulson family (which I also have a family picture of). Off the top of my head, I believe Kristi and Ole is Andrews wifes parents (forgot her name). Apparently, based on your site, her name Kristi Osdltr Bruvik. The interesting thing is, that name does not come to mind. I have many photos of her, and names. I will pull all my information and photos out and see what I have.
Do you have more information on the family? Is there a family book? I would be very interested in sharing with you all that I have.
I also sent a email to you.

We were at Willmar for the reunion. Hot day it was. The first time on this site I got lost. Am quite new at surfing the web, but fun learning. The reunion was great, very interesting with all the photos of the different families. Enjoyed it a lot.

We were at the reunion in Willmar, hot day it was. It was a lot bigger than we thought it would be. Pictures you had displayed of ancestors was great. Everyone was so nice.

How about an enunciation guide for all those names (I bet yuu thot I cudnt spel enunciation) Where do you fit in? direct descendant #1098 (give or take 351) Comments:
How do you determine the geographical location of the descendants? In the summer time 75% are up north and 25% are down south, in the winter time 75% are down south and 25% are up north.(?) Two in particular, Sherney and Alice Knutson, you have to determine what day it is to figure out where they MIGHT(!) be. AAARGH, it's all to confusing, now I have a headache, I need to lay down.

I'll try to dig up a recipe handed down from my grandmother, Theolina Johnson, for the Reigstad cookbook. You wouldn't want a recipe from me...I'm one of those people you mentioned in your announcements page that need help with recipes.
When is the next reunion scheduled? I don't want to miss this one!
