[#4692] John Mikkelsen and Anne Serene Olsen

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

John Mikkelsen and Anne Serene Olsen are listed in the 1900 census as being 45 and 49 yeras of age. Yet I can not find them anywhere in the 1865 census. What am I doing wrong? A family paper I have from my mother says that John was born in Skalevik, Sotra, Norway but the Census says he was born in Fjels Preste Sb. Are these the same place?

Hello ! John Mikkelsen at an age of 11, are to be found at the farm Skaalevik in Fjelds. Yes, It's the same.

I forgot: in the 1865 Census - Look under "Fjell", in Hordaland
