Ole Reno immigrated to Minneapolis in 1871. I believe him to have been Ole Olsen, who appears in the 1865 Vaagans census as a baker. On the same census page is Karen Hasselberg, daughter of Jens Hasselberg, who is the owner or administrator of the Hopen Gard.
Ole Olsen and Karen Hasselberg married May 16, 1870.
They had a daughter Margrethe in March 1871.
Karen and Margrethe (Olson) are on the passenger list of the steamship St. Olaf arriving New York in September, 1871. Family settled in Minneapolis MN.
Ole became Ole O. Reno, Karen became Carrie M. Reno, daughter was Maggie in early years, went back to name Margrethe Jensine in adult years. The Renos had another daughter, Olga Caroline in Minneapolis, MN in 1880.
I cannot find any record of emigration or immigration for Ole Olsen/Reno. Citizenship application says he came to US on or about Feb. 3, 1871.
Still trying to figure out if this is indeed the correct family who became Reno in this country. Ole Olsen is listed in 1865 census and in marriage record as coming from Selbu. There is a Renaa farm name there. He signs citizenship application Ole Renaa.
Any suggestions for finding Ole on an emigration or immigration list?
Also want to find birth record for Margrethe.
Also would like to understand the farm families dynamics better. Would it be unusual for a Hasselberg daughter to marry one of the farm workers?
Would they move away to his home farm, so that perhaps Margrethe would not be born in Vaagan?
Thanks for any help that's out there.

Here, I believe, is Ole's record leaving Trondheim on June 15, 1871:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&sokpostnr=11#a0
The Norway was a feeder ship to England. There is much information on this site, search Ship, Departures, Agent. Ennis was an agent for the Allan Line. In 1871 the Norway went to Newcastle.
It was not unusual for the husband to emigrate first, get settled and then send for his wife and children.
The Selbu church records have been extensively microfilmed by the LDS and are available for rental at a local Family History Center.
As far as marrying a farm hand, in those days, love only traveled as far as one could walk . Being a farm worker was not anything to be ashamed of. Unless Ole was an elder son, he would not have inherited a family farm and prospects of owning a farm in Norway was remote unless by marriage. |

Yes, I do believe this is an excellent possibility for the Ole Olsen whose emigration I am looking for. He is of the right age and this is the most likely time framework for him to be travelling. (I mispoke in my original post on the year; 1871 would be correct.) Thank you very much for this information. I now can start to look for his immigration data.

Vaagens is in Nordland. I am sorry that I am too new at this sight and with the digitalarkivet that I have not figured out how to copy the url yet. It does not come up in the expected way.
If you go to Nordland and then Vaagens and enter Ole Olsen, there is a 29 year old Ole from Selbo living on the Hopen gard. This age is a better match to the info I have on him than the younger Ole you cited in Renaa. Also at Hopen is Karen Hasselberg who married Ole Olsen in 1870. I had found immigration information for Karen and baby Margrethe in Sept. 1871, but never found Ole, but your first posting gives that. Thank you for your help.

Where is Vaagans? It would help if you would provide links to your information.
This appears more likely to be your Ole in the 1865 census in Selbo at the Renaa gard:
