Thank you. As I understand it..Karl Helmer Theodor was born to Mother Kari Kristensd and father Auden Ols. Hangaard - they were not married. No, I haven't tried to look them up in the rural chronicles for Trysil or Rendalen, can you give me instrucitons on that? Kari had another son, Kasper born in 1881 with a different father. Kasper emigrated with Kari in 1884. Can I find what name Karl Helmer Theodor used when he emigrated? Thank you
More information came to me..."it seems like Karl Helmer Theodor born 17.04.1878 left Norway for America 28.10.1887 together with his grandmother Kari Halvorsdatter Skjaerbekken and her second husband Nils Gudmundsen on the ship Rollo. Their destination was Brainerd, Minnesota. He left by the name of Karl HT Oiesen". Could this be the same person who was Theodore Torrison over here? He was born to Kari Kristensd, who left Norway 19 Dec 1884 with her son Kasper, came here and married Adolph Torrison in Wisconsin in February 1885. It is more complicated. Thanks again.
