Hide Profile

Ole Davidson was born on May 4, 1894 in Vassdal, Tjongsfjord, Norway to Ivar Davidson and Kaja Olson. Before coming to America, there were four brothers in the family: Ole, David, Alfred, and Martin. Ivar was a fisherman, and the family lived in a little valley with Ole's paternal grandparents David Olson and Kaspara, who were also fishermen. Only Ole's family lived in the valley, and in an effort to improve their lifestyle, they immigrated to Minnesota in 1901, where Ole Sabin, a distant relative of Kaja's owned a farm. Upon arrival to Minnesota, Ivar and Kaja worked on Ole's farm in order to pay off the dept for their tickets over.
