Records Prior to 1837

[Patricia Gissenas Klein]

I have found immigration information about my ancestor - Ander(s) Gissenaas (born 1837 in Rennebo (?) County at Ulsberg Station (Throndhjem), his wife Anna born 1937 in Vardo and 4 of their children - John (Johannes), Bernt (Barney) - my great grandfather), Christian and Elizabeth (all born in Norway) - They left Trondheim on 1869-04-26 for Quebec - eventually settling in Northeast Wisconsin.

 

What I would like to find is Anders parents and any information there might be about other ancestors.  

 

There is (or was) a Gissenaas (Gisnas or Gisnasen?) farm in the Trondheim area and a gentleman named Per Gissenaas (sp) was still there some time ago.  I was able to access the Norwegian Farm Archive at the University of South Dakota but it was not helpful. 

 

I am having trouble understanding how to use your website.  Is there anyone who might assist me?

This looks like your family, but it says Anders was born in 1817.
