  Notes	The surname Arnesen (son) is derived from the patronymic naming system - son of Arne. His last name was shown as Offigsbøe when married [as per research done by Ragnhild Holji]. Arne lived in Lom, Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. He was shown as a servant on Offigsbøe when daughter Kari was born (mother Anne Sevaldsdtr). In 1842 Arne and Gunnhild moved to a cotter's place named Marsteinstrædet in Lom Parish, which is in Christians [Oppland] County, Norway. Before that they had lived at a cotter's place called Olssonstugu and at Suleim. Fourteen children were born to Arne and Gunnhild, six of whom came to America after their father's death in Norway. Seven of the children died very early and the other seven grew to adulthood. Ole is the eldest in the family. Arne was known as "singing Arne" and had sung for royalty, as told by Lonna Arneson's father. But apparently he liked to drink and would have the money he earned spent before arriving home! As per a letter from Clare Almquist (July 1999) - He was the illegitimate son of Christopher Christopherson and Lisa Olsen [Olsdtr] Qvalle, and was raised by his grandmother (not known whether maternal or paternal grandmother) Britt Fraise.
