Thanks for clearing that up - see that place names are added to family names which has caused some of my confusion,
Yes, we are into spring, but have had a very wet winter with a lot more flooding than we have experienced before - must be related to global warming. In Hamilton, in the north of the North Island, we don't get snow or the freezing conditions one associated with your part of the world. We would love to visit one of these days.... on our dream list.
Thanks for all your help, it's very much appreciated.

Hi eibache, this is absolutely mind blowing - you have taken the famiy back to the 1670s with this last information and it is lovely to be able to see rthe original records from 1700- (even though I can't decipher them as I don't understand the language of my ancestors)
Fantastic - wish we could do things like this with NZ records, there are huge gaps in our records and much of it is not readily accessible due to so called "privacy" laws from our nanny state...
Thanks well done

Hello - i have found that at least two of Olava's sisters come to New Zealand. Karen Christine arrived in Wellington in 1876 and later in the year married Charles Lamberg who had arrived from Sweden. They had one child before Charles died in 1903. In 1911 Karen married Emil Cornelius Myers (name later changed to Myhre) - he was said to have come from Norway.
Caroline arrived in 1884 and married Emile Pasche (from Norway) in 1885. Unfortunately she died shortly after,
I am still trying to find if olava's other siblings also came to NZ - brother Hans Jacob Olsen and sister Marie Olsdatter (Olsen)
Once again, thanks for your help

The Olsens came from Løten in Hedmark county, this is close to the city of Hamar situated at Mjøsa, Norways largest lake.
Farm names were Stabberud, Røne and Nordset.
I suggest using the info in this topic and get hold of a map unless you want to use this searchable map
or one in english language that works for Nordset - zoom out toget a view of where in Norway it is.
