Excerpt: Halvdan Koht (7 July 1873 - 12 December 1965) was a Norwegian historian, biographer, and Foreign minister (Labour party) 1935-40. He was born in Tromsø as a son of educator and politician Paul Steenstrup Koht (1844-1892) and Betty Giæver (1845-1936). He was a distant relative of the Holmboe family; the bailiff Jens Holmboe had a daughter Hanna Birgitte Holmboe who married into the Giæver family, mothering Joachim Gotsche Giæver, Betty's father. Halvdan was ¿ German, since Betty's mother was from Bremen. Through Joachim Gotsche Giæver's brother and his descendants, Halvdan Koht was a third cousin of parliamentarian Ola Krogseng Giæver.

After the death of his father in 1892, the family moved to Bekkelaget in 1893. Koht studied at the Royal Frederick University (now: the University of Oslo). In September 1898 in Kristiania he married teacher Karen Elisabeth Grude (1871-1960), a daughter of Martin Adolf Grude. They had the notable children, child psychologist Åse Gruda Skard and ambassador Paul Koht. Through Åsa he was a father-in-law of Sigmund Skard and a grandfather of Torild Skard, Målfrid Grude Flekkøy and Halvdan Skard.
