Fredrerick was the first of nine children (including three who died before being baptized in church) born to Fredrik Fredriksen (1800 to 26 May 1865) and Kari Engebretsdatter (4 Oct 1811 to 10 Nov 1877). He was born 12 Jan 1834 on Øvre (Upper) Fosse (61.51959 9.42209), Nord-Fron, Oppland County, Norway, and baptized at the Kvikne Church in Nord-Fron 9 Mar 1834, with baptismal sponsors Rønnog Moen, Mari Bakrud, Johannes Bakrud, Torger Riisdahl, and Hans Fosse. He was confirmed at the Kvikne Church 18 Jun 1848, and was rated very good in his knowledge and diligence. (From transcribed Fron church records, by findagrave contributor Espa.)
Fredrick was the oldest son and the farm in Norway should of passed on to him. But Fredrick went to America in 1866. His brother, Engebret, got the farm in 1869. Fredrick’s sister, Anne, left Nord-Fron for America 16 May 1870. Fredrick and Anne both settled near Rothsay, Minnesota. Fredrick’s farm was the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of section 1, Akron Township, Wilkin County, about a mile south of Rothsay. However, a 1894 plat map shows Fredrick owning 107.88 acres in Oscar Township, which is across the road from the land in Akron Township.
Fredrick married Mari Amundsdatter/Amundson 3 Oct 1881. Their marriage license is filed in Otter Tail County. They had three children: Anton Fredrik (b. 30 Mar 1884), Carl (b. 7 Mar 1886), and Emma (b. 3 Dec 1887). Fredrick died from a stroke 17 Nov 1888. He was buried in the Hamar Cemetery, about a half mile from his farm. His son Anton later took over the farm in Akron Township.
