Looking for origins of Ole Wollum & wife Lena. Ole's tombstone says he was born 8 Dec 1859 (family says in Sør Trøndelag). Emigrated about 1880 (according to 1900 & 1910 census Rock Creek, Dunn Co. WI) There is an Ole Vollum listed as sawmill worker on 1880 census Menomonie, Dunn Co WI. Ole died 11 Sep 1919. Ole & wife Lena are buried Rock Creek Cem, Dunn Co. WI.
In 1893 in Dunn Co WI, Ole married Lena Borresdatter Thoreson (1865-1910). Lena's parents Bore Thoresen (1829-1906) & Magrete (1841-1912) came from Oppland about 1868 with 3 or 4 children. Lived in Peru twp Dunn Co WI and buried in Peru cemetery. |

The following is based on the family and birth record found by Kåre:
EMIGRATION
Depart Bergen 11 May 1868
Arrive Quebec 23 June 1868
Ship name: Frigate Bird
Børre Thoresen Slette 38 male, residence Skiager
Magrethe !! Slette* 26 wife, residence Skiager*
Rønnaug Børresdatter* Slette* 6 daughter* residence Skiager*
Live Børresdatter* Slette* 3 daughter* residence Skiager*
Guro Børresdatter* Slette* ½ daughter* residence Skiager*
I believe Skiager is an old way of designating Skjåk.

The reason Børre Thoresen and his family em. from Slette after he sold Horten was because I believe it was Børres brother Thore that owned Slette in 1865, 3 children, 4 servants and Rønnaug age 71, former owner and most liklely Thore and Børres mother, link

Thanks to Jane and Kåre for the quick replies. I never would have thought that Lena was born Livø, but all the information fits. The family search tree is a great help.
How can I find Børre's parents on the 1801 census - Tore Toresen Slette Vigstad b. 1790 and Rønnaug Iversdtr. Lund b. 1794 ?
Still need to find Ole Wollum. Which parish in Sør Trøndelag is the Vollum farm located?
Appreciate all the helpful information. Kay |

eibache found the following Vollum farms listed in the 1865 census for Sør-Trøndelag [this got posted in the other Wollum thread]:
Støren 2
Melhus 1
Børsen 3
Strinden 2
Ole would be about seven. He could be at one of the Vollum farms; on the other hand he could have lived at a Vollum farm after that census. You have his exact day-month-year of birth, which will identify him.
History of Dunn County Wisconsin said he was born near Trondheim. |

You are welcome.
Livø is a very unusual name, 54 persons with that name in 1865..
