[#18769] Halsten Olsen Stoen Descendants

[Gjest Steve Rea]

I am researching the Stoen family and after information of descendants of Halsten Olsen STOEN (b)May 27th 1796 in Naess married Ingeborg Olsdatter RUDOLFINE (b)1798 They emmmigrated to the the USA with some of their children aboard the Drafna in 1850. Before immigation they lived on the Hovde/stoen farm. I have NO idea what parish/church district they lived in and finding that out would assist me in tracing birth/death/marriage/baptism/confirmation records. Any assistance that I could get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve
