Looking for any information about:

Gunnuf Halvorsen Syrtveit and his wife Ragnil Clemetsdatter their son Halvor Gunnulfsen Born June 9, 1826 (my g grandfather) in Evje. Austre Moland farm Urdalen under Floystad

Knud Andersen Syrtveit and wife Siri Guttormsdatter their daughter was Siri Knudsdatter born July 1, 1835 (my g grandmother)

I believe they all lived in Evje for many years and many families later. They left for America in 1880 or 1881. A son Gunnulf (born July 15, 1855) stayed in Norway in Evje.

I would like to find as many ancestors as possible. The older writing is very hard for me to read. Thank you for any and all information.

Halvor Gunnufsens baptismal record is #32 born June 9 and baptized June 16 1826.
Gunnuf Halvorsen and Ragnild Clemetsdatter were then on the farm Syrtvedt.
Gunnuf Halvorsen and Ragnild Clemetsdatter were married July 8 1825, see #26.
Gunnuf was then a widower living on Syrtvedt and was 59 years old. Ragnild was living on Goudestad and was 38 years old.
In 1801 Gunnuf is recorded as Gunnu in the census for Syntvedt. His mother Thora Jonsdatter lives on the farm and is a widow. Gunnufs siblings Jon Halvorsen and Guru Halvorsdatter lives on the farm as servants.
In 1801 Ragnild is living at Goudestad with her parents Clement Gunderssen and Siri Olsdatter and their other children.
