[#355] Why can't I find Ole Amundsen Overlie, march 1881?

[Gjest]

I have been unsuccessful in finding "our" Ole Amundsen Overlie (sometimes Overlee, or lie or lee) despite knowing he left Norway for Boston, USA in February or March 1881. If you find him in digialarkivet please show me how you did it?Sincerely Bob Swensonrswenson@stanford.edu650-494-6934

Overlie seems to be Øverlie in Norwegian.I searched on "Kjeldetype", "folketelling", "1865" , "gardsnavn - børjar på Øver". I got a lot of names starting on "Øver..", marked those who looked most like Øverlie. Then I looked at all the farms, and found Ole Amundsen in Øyer (kommune nr. 0521). He lived on the farm Øverlie together with his parents, three brothers and a sister. Ole was 8 years in 1865Best regards Berit
