Another Wisconsin birth record for a son. Son not shown on any Census. But the record does provide a good name for Olaus (Oliver).

Name: Robert Johan Andersen Lee
Birth Date: 18 Dec 1881
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 26 Mar 1882
Baptism Place: Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Eeau Claire, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Lee was most likely americanized from Li, Lia or Lien, all three means hillside.
Acc. to the 1865 census there were Krognes farms in Volda and Agerø municipalities, Møre & Romsdal County, and in Hevne parish in Sør-Trøndelag county
Lorentina, a very rare name in Norway, only three with that name in the 1865 census, but 89 with firtsname Lorentine.
Perhaps a shot in the dark.
