Oral family history relates that Timan Helgerson Burtness was too young to enlist in the Civil War. He lied about his age so that he could become a soldier. In the same Civil War records from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. he is referred to as both Tideman Helgerson and Timan Helgerson. Oral family history relates that he was referred to by both names and at one time had used Helgerson as his surname. He later settled on Børtnes (Burtness) as his surname in America - the name of the farm on which he was born in Norway. File historyLegend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete
