Wow it's amazing what information you can find if you know what you're looking for! I'm also curious if it would be possible to find information about Torstens wife Beret's family?

Hello Tim,
in order to find more info about Beret Julseth, we need to know her patronym..., ie her fathers firstname. So far, she's only been named Julseth, a name she has from her husband.
The two best options are:
1) Order her death certificate from Minnesota Historical Society. BERIT JULSETH is registered with Date of Death: 02/22/1926, Douglas county. This certificate could mention her parents name.
2) Visit a local LDS center and scan through the wedding records for Stjørdal around 1880 (1875?-1880). She is married at the time of emigration (19-May-1881) with a son ludvig born around July 1880. The marriage record should contain her fathers name.
Mircofilms:
709.A16 Nedre Stjørdal prestegjeld (Lower Stjørdal parish): contains christening-, confirmations-, wedding- and deathrecords 1871-1879
709.A17 Værnes sokn (Vaernes parish): contains christening-, confirmations-, wedding- and deathrecords 1880-1895, deadborn 1881-1894, immigrants to parish 1880-1895, emigrants out of parish 1880-1896
Then it should be possible to locate her in the norwegian 1865 census, where she would be ca 12 years old...

Hello again
I just got the death certificate of Berit Julseth in the mail today and it says that her fathers name was Johan Aune, but has no name for her mother, not even a maiden name it only says unknown. Don't know if this can help find any info on here parents or not, but would appreciate any help.

What efforts have you made in the second item of research that Jan Peter recommended to you? "2) Visit a local LDS center and scan through the wedding records for Stjørdal around 1880 ....."

Hello again
I have not had a chance to visit a LDS yet and by the way what is a LDS center and where would I find one? I just found an old scrapbook of newspaper clippings and one of them was the obituary for my great-grandfather John Julseth and it verifys that Torsten and Berit were his parents, but I also found out that he had a sister named Manda who died before him and was wondering if anything could be found on her. She would have been born in Brandon, MN, I would assume and I don't think she was ever married, possibly even died young. I'm not sure as I haven't really heard of here before. So I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

"Family History Centers are branch facilities of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Centers provide access to most of the microfilms and microfiche in the Family History Library to help patrons identify their ancestors. Everyone is welcome to come to the centers and use Family History Center resources."
They would have (or will order) copies of the Nedre Stjørdal churchbooks on microfilms, so that you can scan through the wedding records for 1875-1880, and look for Thorsten Lorntsen Julseth and Berit's wedding record.
You will probably see her name written as Berit Johansdatter Aune(t), but hopefully her fathers name would indicate his patronym. There are several Berit Johansdatter aged 11-13 in the census, so it's still hard to locate her...
You should also check their son Ludvig's christening record from autumn 1880.
You can find a Family History Center near you here.

I cannot imagine trying to do any genealogy research without using the vast worldwide resources of the LDS Family History Library collection.
LDS = Latter-day Saints... the Mormons. I found my nearest LDS Family History Center by checking my telephone directory for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - the phone book listed a number and address for a Family History Center which is located within the building of their church building. I made phone contact and was able to learn their schedule and some fine details about parking and getting into the building. You do not have to be a member of their church to use their vast collection of resources, and I've found all their volunteer staff to be as helpful as they are able. Most Family History Centers also have good basic books and materials about genealogy techniques that can be used while at the Center.
They now have online index to Family History Center locations as Jan Peter linked above.
I know I've repeatedly talked about the Norwegian records in the LDS collection that can be used - but you now mention Brandon, Minnesota - my atlas puts that in Douglas County. So we can look up Douglas [county] Minnesota in the LDS library catalog - Place search (don't type in the word 'county' in that place search and I entered Minnesota in the 'part of'' option, also don't type an abbreviation)
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp
LDS library collection shows that they have the following topics for resources of Douglas County, Minn.
Established in 1858 from Cass, Pembina, and Todd counties.
Topics Minnesota, Douglas - Archives and libraries - Inventories, registers, catalogs
Minnesota, Douglas - Church directories
Minnesota, Douglas - Church records
Minnesota, Douglas - Genealogy
Minnesota, Douglas - Genealogy - Indexes
Minnesota, Douglas - History
Minnesota, Douglas - Land and property
Minnesota, Douglas - Land and property - Indexes
Minnesota, Douglas - Maps
Minnesota, Douglas - Military records
Minnesota, Douglas - Obituaries
Minnesota, Douglas - Vital records - Indexes
Minnesota, Douglas - Vital records - Newspapers
I'd expect a birth in that county to possibly be recorded in Vital Records - hmmm, yes it appears they have two reels of microfilm which copy "Birth, marriage and death record indexes, ca. 1865-2001" -- AND it is copied to film which can be borrowed/rented by any LDS Family History Center anywhere in the world. You could look for Manda in those records, I'll assume that you have a time period in mind.
Excellent online study helps for how to use the Norwegian records, the LDS library collections and even Inter-Library loan programs -

Sure go to Digitalarkivet, go to Digitized Parish Registers, go to Nord-Trondelag fylke, go to Nedre Stjørdal 1859-1870 Ministrialbok, go to Fødte og døpte, cick on 1865 (81), Look through the entries under 1865 until you come across the name you are looking for. In this case Karen M. Look at number 125 Karen Martha.

If you were interested in the godparents when Lorents was baptised you should move to #104 on page 65, they were Mali, Gunhild, Ingeborg, and Lars - all from Julseth, and Peder and Thomas from Totman?

quote:
The above should be the correct link?
Not quite, your link gets you to page 69. Go back four pages to page 65. Also it is best to make a link by going to the top of the page and use Bildeinformation, click to open and set it at Øverst. Copy the line beginning with http to the right of Permanent Sidelinke.
Then paste it in the Message box.
By doing what you did you got the wrong page and also caused the window to expand making it difficult to read. You are not a beginner, you have 201 posts so it is time for you to learn how to use Digitalarkivet.
