[#37298] Augen Amunds. b. 1819 Solberg Farm, Skiptvet

[Gjest Mary Ellen Peterson]

A friend from my Sons of Norway Lodge is looking for information on his ancestor Augen Amunds. b. 17 Feb.1819 in Skiptvet. In 1865 Augen is living on the Solberg (Dalen)gard in Skibtvedt. His son, Johan Augens. b. 2 Aug. 1849 Skiptvet (who took the surname Solberg in Wisconsin), came to America in 1873, but we do not have his ship record. The gard 'Kvisgaard' was also mentioned having some connection to the Solberg farm??? Maybe there are other descendants of Augen still living in Norway??? Thank you kindly, Mary Ellen Peterson

Could this be Johan Augenson Solberg in Wisconsin 1880?
