Ruby and Laef (current owner) of Sinnerudstranden farm where Ruby's grandfather Anton and great grandparents Peder and Pernille Pedersen emigrated to America from in 1866. That's where the Sinrud name comes from. The farm is located just south of Hamar in Ottestad (perhaps a 5 minute drive from the Viking Ship ice arena used in the 1994 Olympics) and very close to the Norwegian Emigrant Museum. The museum illustrates the life led by Norwegian emigrants to the Amerian Midwest during the 1880's and also contains emigrant lists, Letters from America and photgraphs. It is worth a visit.
