I am looking for my grandfather and Grandmother who emigrated to Rugby ND. Hans was born in 1880 and Ingabord was born around then too.

Additional date information should help persons who would like to assist in the search for these persons.
The 1920 US census for Pierce County North Dakota lists Hans Bjorkley as being 39 years old and having emigrated in 1903. Ingeborg is listed as 33 years old and emigrated in 1905.
The 1920 census for the same county lists the same emigration dates for each, but the last name is then written as Bjorkly.

| Sorry, I meant the second mention of a census to indicate that it was from the 1910 census. |

You need to get more information in the US to help find them in Norway. You should get copies of their marriage certificate, death certificates, obituaries, and any birth certificates for their children. Also copies of naturalization papers. Any of these could give their parents name. You would need to know Ingabord's maiden name in order to locate her.
There is one possibility for Hans in the 1900 census Click Here and this appears to be him emigrating from Oslo Click Here but without more information there is no way to know for sure.

| Ingabord Flaaten was married to Hans Bjorkley. Flaaten was her maiden name. They had 6 children--Signe, Anna, Paula, Anna, Henry and Ingvald(Skip). Henry is my father. Ingabord died young after giving birth to Ingvald (Skip). |

Sorry--I listed Anna twice. Inga was the other daughter. My husband and I are traveling to Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway in July. I am trying to find grandparents before then so I do some more research while there.

Oops I tend to concentrate on the message body and missed the header with Ingabord FLATTEN.
There is one possibility for her in the emigratants from Oslo Click Here probably a pretty good bet since she is going to ND.
This is probably her living with her mother in the 1900 census Click Here in Vaage, Oppland Norway
You should read some of John Føllesdal's articles to help in your search.

Hello once again! Thanks for all your help.
I am now looking for Ronnaug Flatten born around 1880-1890. She also ended up in North Dakota.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

May 6th in this thread 'Brining' sent you a link to what was probably the emigration register entry for Hans. You'll see Ronnaug Flatten listed with him on that link. It gives at least an approximation of birth year and possibly birthplace. Sel should be a subparish area of Vågå in Oppland.

Hi,
servant Ronnaug Pedersen Flaaten, 21 years old, last residence Fetsund, arrived at Ellis Island on March 21, 1903, sailing from Liverpool. click here for manifest
She is listed as no:16 in the manifest. Hans Simensen Bjørkli is listed as no:10 on the same ship.
Final dest for both is Barton (?) North Dakota.
Hans is going to his cousin (...) Skjerve, while Ronnoug is going to her aunt Ingeborg Skjerv....
Was Ronnoug and Ingeborg Flaatten sisters? If so, this could be them...

Hello once again!
Thanks for your information concerning my relatives. You say that Hans Bjorkley and Ingebord Flaatten are on the 1920 census but when I check this, it does not list them.
Can you tell me where you got your information?

Pierce County, North Dakota. They are listed in 1920 with 6 children living at home.
I often have online access to some census indexes and thusly to scanned images of census pages through the goodwill of my State archives. |

| The microfilm for this census can be rented at a local Family History Center or on interlibrary loan. |
