Looking for some cousins. I am seeking any information about the family of Ouen Kristensen and Aasne Syvertsen, married Dec 7, 1864 registered at Oddernes, V-Agder, Norway. They had 3 sons Kristen Ouensen born Sept 21, 1865 at Stray, Syvert Ouensen (Stray) born 27 Dec 1870 and Adoph Severin Ouensen (born?). They all moved to America but I don.t have any info. Would appreciate any help to find when and where these families immigrated to. Thanks Suzanne |

It is possible that Adolph used the last name Stray. Here is a Adolph C Stray from Canada.
Adolph C Stray in the Alberta, Canada, Homestead Records, 1870-1930 Name: Adolph C Stray Gender: Male Age: 35 Birth Year: abt 1874 Birth Country: Norway Application Date: 18 Oct 1909 Homestead Place: Alberta, Canada Residence Year: 1909 Residence Place: Coutts, Alberta, Canada File Number: 1835540 Coordinates: NE Section: 12 Township: 1 Range: 13 Meridian: 4
Also visited the US, this gives a birth date
Adolph C Stray in the U.S., Border Crossings from Canada to U.S., 1825-1960 Name: Adolph C Stray Gender: Male Race/Nationality: Scandinavian Age: 60 Birth Date: 21 May 1875 Birth Place: Christiansand, Norway Arrival Date: 15 Apr 1936 Port of Arrival: Sweet Grass, Montana, USA Accompanied By: Joseph Smyk Record has photo?: No Record Type: Cards
Likely the right person based on this baptism record

Another candidate that many family trees on Ancestry.com have as your Syvert is this one. However the information on him does not match your posted information. Especially the mothers name Gunhild and two brothers that named Gunstein and Olaf. So in that respect he is a poor fit but I will post some information on him for completeness.
Syvert Stray in the U.S., Find A Grave Index, 1600s-Current Name: Syvert Stray Birth Date: 1871 Birth Place: Norway Death Date: 20 Aug 1934 Death Place: Seattle, King County, Washington, USA Cemetery: Acacia Memorial Park and Funeral Home Burial or Cremation Place: Lake Forest Park, King County, Washington, USA Has Bio?: Y Spouse: Lillian Stray Children: Ellen Valle Myrtle Cummings
FAG llink not work
But one of the brothers Gunstein baptism in 1867 can be found.

quote: An unnamed Ouenson Strai coming to US: https://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/gen/vis/8/pe00000000332247
A good possibility, date is right. He is listed as going to Racine Wi. Lists two people he is traveling to see. First is Mikki Jensen of Racine Wi and second is Sven Strai, no address given.
Oland A Strai in the Massachusetts, Passenger and Crew Lists, 1820-1963 Name: Oland A Strai Gender: Male Age: 17 Nationality: Norwegian Birth Date: abt 1887 Departure Place: Liverpool, England Arrival Date: 24 Jan 1904 Arrival Place: Boston, Massachusetts, USA Last Residence: Norway Friend: Mikki Jolyesen Ship: Ultonia
I see a Sven Kristensen living on Øvre Strai in the 1865 Census posted by Einar above. |

The Sven Kristensen born 1839 in the 1865 Census posted by Einar is likely this one.
Svend Christensen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-192 Name: Svend Christensen Gender: Male Birth Date: 1 mai 1839 (1 May 1839) Baptism Date: 12 mai 1839 (12 May 1839) Baptism Place: , Oddernes, Vest-Agder, Norway Father: Christen Ouenssen Mother: Anne Serine Svendsdr FHL Film Number: 127457
And maybe this one who died in Wisconsin
Svend Christenson in the Web: Wisconsin, Find A Grave Index, 1836-2012 Name: Svend Christenson Birth Date: 1839 Age at Death: 93 Death Date: 1932 Burial Place: Scandinavia, Waupaca County, Wisconsin, USA
And was likely married to
