I've tried for months to locate great grandfather Everson. Didn't have his first name. However Martin Everson my grandfather shows on his death certificate in Fargo ND 1923 it states "father unknown" It does show mother as Elizabeth Everson. It never accured to me that was her maided name and she was never married and so My grandfather Martin wouldn't know who his father was. My grandfathers death certificate list him born in Odalen Norway in 1875. Which if I was lucky enough that would be where his mother was from. If anyone out there has an Everson Line or are looking for an Everson it would be great. Sweetbarb |

Why don't you do some research into the birth/baptismal records of the Odal area of Hedmark Norway, both Sør-Odal and Nord-Odal??
In the years around 1875 (perhaps plus and minus one full year) you'd hope to find a record of a male child probably named Martin, Martinius, or some similar variation. You'd want a mother's given name like Elizabet, Lisbeth, or similar variation. If there was some indication of the name Ever or Even - you'd be able to start a real celebration.

| Thank you for all the information on the parish records. I had copied off from the Digitalarkivet every name close to the spelling of Everson. Didn't pay much attention to any variation of the first name of Martin possibly being different. I will difinetly take a closer look at that as well as Elizabet, Lisbeth. Thank you again |

Everson might very well be an american spelling of Iversen.
A few comments you should clearify:
1. Was Martin known as Martin Everson?
2. Was Elizabeth known as Elizabeth Everson?
3. Do you have proof that Martin's parents was not married, or that they didn't live together?
You have to figure out where Martin has his Lastname from. I doubt that he took his mother's lastname...
I would guess Martin had a father named Ivar (Iver), or his father's Lastname was Iversen...

| His death certificate listed him as Martin Everson. It also listed "father unknown" and mother as Elizabeth Everson.I don't have proof but have been unable to find him in 1875 census from Digitalarkivet. If Martin father is there I could have missed him because I don't have his name. I'm going to look in the confirmation records. Maybe I can find my grandfather there. When I looked thru the Digitalarkivet records I copied every Iverson, Everson,Evenson Evensen, Ivensen they listed hoping to find him that way. Thank you I will keep all that in mind in my search. I really don't have any proof that my great grandmother was married or not ,I'm just going by the death certificate listing mother's maiden name as Elizabeth Everson. I'm trying every avenue that is given me and appreciate any help I can get. Thank you |

The online version of the norwegian 1875-census does not include Sør-Odal and Nord-Odal parish in Hedmark, Norway.
The census took place January 3rd, 1876, but if he is born in Odalen (ie either Sør-Odal or Nord-Odal), you will not find him in the 1875 census.

Under LINKS above on this webpage you'll find two excellent word lists of translations from Norwegian to English.
You'll be able to order microfilm copies of the birth/baptismal records at your nearest LDS Family History Center. They are not online.
What do Paul Andersen and Kvikne have to do with Elizabeth Everson, Martin Everson or Sør-Odal and Nord-Odal? |

| Sorry for the confussion. They have nothing to do with what I'm looking for, I was scanning the records and ran across the words Mor and Far under the 1st person name . So I copied and pasted to forum thinking this would make it clearer. I will be going to LDS library tomorrow and try that Thank you for your help . |
