Norwegian family looking for info on ancestor

By Letter to the Editor on October 1, 2019.

We are looking for information about Ola Steinsland (Stensland, or Hestad), who in 1929 emigrated to Canada. He was born April 26, 1904, in Lyngdal, Vest-Agder, Norway,

He may have changed his name to Ola Andresson, since his father’s name was Vilhelm Andreas Steinsland.

Ola Andresson is on Canadian Voters List in 1949, occupation City Employee, location Medicine Hat.

We also know that a person with the name Ola Andresson lived at Glenmore Auxiliary Hospital before he died in June 1973, 69 years of age. But the hospital has no archive from the 1970s.

Ole Andreassen may be the person we are looking for, but we can not be sure before we get more information, most important is the birthday.
