Edward Eriksen Rongholt

[Mitch Rognholt]

Hello, I am trying to find information for Edward Eriksen Rongholt from Norway. I found the following information regarding his life in the USA but can't find a record of Edward or his family that match his birth date in Norway. It is believed Edward, his  father Erik and his his family immigrated (circa 1861) . 

Hei, jeg prøver å finne informasjon for Edward Eriksen Rongholt fra Norge. Jeg fant følgende informasjon om livet hans i USA, men kan ikke finne en oversikt over Edward eller hans familie som samsvarer med fødselsdatoen hans i Norge. Det antas at Edward, faren Erik og hans familie immigrerte (ca. 1861).

Thank you Magne N.G. Hagen-Pettersen! It does look like a very good candidate since the birth date matches. I have been searching through the Norwegian Census records and found many Erik Olsen's but none with wife Ingeborg or son Edvard or Edward that are close to his age. Any suggestions where to look?

Thank you, this is so helpful! Ole Eriksen is my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. My father always told me that when my Great-Grandfather immigrated to America he stayed with his uncle, which I believe is Erik Olsen. It's been difficult to trace because Erik and his son Edward went by the last name of Rongholt while my Great-Grandfather went by Rognholt. But I did find that Ole Eriksen was born on the Rognholt farm. However, it lists Erik being born in 1804 while all other info lists it as 1802. Also it doesn't show his wife or children which is why I struggled to find the family.

The names match what I found from the 1870 US Census so this is indeed the family. Thank you so much for this information!
