Additional information on my ancestors

[Jo Robertson]

I'm in search of information on my Great Grandfather Tollef Tollefson born January 06, 1848 Belgi, Ulnes, Oppland, Norway, Christening January 16, 1848 died 1927 and my Great Grandma Kari (the name was changed to when she entered the United States Carrie) Bergene Tollefson born March 15, 1847 died 1922

 

I will be truly appreciative of any information you can give me.

You can use a combination of Ancestry.com and Digitalarkivet to trace your family back in time. This looks like the marriage of Tolled and Kari in 1871. The record also gives you the father of both groom and bride.

Kari was baptized in 1847 I noticed that you have her birth date as March 15, 1847. I wonder if the date could be off a little. I find this Kari born March 26, 1847.

The family seems to have lived at the Osetbergene farm in the 1865 Census. However Kari was not living with her father at that time. The mother Beret Halvorsdatter is also not at this farm. Perhaps she is no longer living.

Jo!  I can't quite believe I'm seeing this 🙂  I've spent the weekend mapping out your Kramer tree to help a DNA match of ours to find her unknown family.  Please can I get in touch with you.  Her line went to Oregon.  

[Anton Hagelee]

Tollef Tollefsen and his wife Kari Knudsdatter emigrated from Norway in 1873. Destination Milwaukee.

When Tolleiv Aslaksen married in 1838, he used the farm name of Rudlang. He was born about 1806 so would not be in the 1801 Norwegian Census. The marriage record from above and repeated here gives his father as A. Olsen.

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/327/pv00000008872786

 

Here is a candidate for his father in the 1801 Census. His name is Aslak Olsen and he is living on the Rudland farm. He was born about 1760. His wife is Jøran Olsdatter Sæter.

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01058264005654

 

Digging through the original records I find Tollef baptized Feb 9, 1806. Father is Aslak Olsen Rudland. Mother is not listed. Not unusual for the time.

This far back in time you can usually find a Family Tree that might give further information on the family. Here is a Geni.com Tree that provides more information. Like any online tree it is best if you can check some of the information to see if it is reliable. 

 

Aslak Olsen Sæter (Rudlang) 

Gender:	Male
Birth:	October 11, 1761  Ulnes, Nord-Aurdal, Oppland, Norway
Death:	May 27, 1832 (70)  Aurdal, Nord-Aurdal, Oppland, Norway
Immediate Family:	Son of Ole Andersen Sæter and Kari Tollefsdatter Sæter  Husband of Jøran Olsdatter Sæter  Father of Ole Aslaksen Gudem; Kari Aslaksdatter Rudlang; Eli Aslaksdatter Rudlang; Gudbrand Rudlang and Tolleiv Aslaksen Rudlang  Brother of Dorthe Olsdatter Sæter; Tolef Olsen Sæter; Tollef Olsen Sæter and Ole Olsen Sæter  Half brother of Anders Olsen Sæter   https://www.geni.com/people/Aslak-Sæter/6000000022850065834?through=6000000032506489347

[Anton Hagelee]

In this case the  birth data given above for Aslak Olsen is listed as 11 Oct 1761. I found his original record in the Norwegian parish records so that gives me some confidence that the Geni.com Tree is a least somewhat reliable. 

 

Next to last record on the left  hand page gives this.

 

Baptized  Ole Andersen Sætre and Kari Tollefsdatter N (for name) Aslak. 11 Ditto (October from above record) Dreng ie boy

 

That is followed by the names of the witnesses.
