History

Name Origin

The origin of the surname Dahlseide comes from the Norweigan village of "Dahlseide". The original family there were the Johanneson family. It was customary for the family to take their location as their surname. Dahlseide translated, means "Valley side" so the Johanneson family from the Valley side. The original family had twin sons named Ole and Johannes. While Ole stayed in Norway, Johannnes emigrated to the United States. He took the name Johannes Johanneson Dahlseide so his descendants would be able to track their roots back toe Dahlseide Norway and so they would know they were all related to the original family in Dahlseide Norway. You can find Ole and Johannes birth records in many of the online ancestry forums and in the official archives of the Vaaksdal/Bergen area of Norway. Many documents are also found in the Iowa and North Dakota archives in the US and in the Alberta and Saskatchewan provinces of Canada.
