Thank you for all of this. Ole's parents are such a mistery. I think his father might be Knud Knudsen because in the marriage of Halvor Thorsen and Torbjor,s marriage there is Halvor's father and grandfather and Ole and a knud Knudsen which would be Torbjor's father and grandfather. It is just a guess. Halvor and Torbjor's son Tore is my grandfather. They all went to Usa in 1870. Ole was with them as a widower. Thank you again, Renee
Thank you Kare, It is so hard to find info on Ole's parents. I think his father might be Knud Knudsen because there is Knud Knudsen with Ole in Torbjor's marriage record but it is just a guess. have a good night, Renee
Ole Knudsen has stated that he was born in Tromø Sogn (Parish) – from 1742 Austre Moland, Tromøe and Barbu was one common Parish and the records can be found in the scanned records under Austre Moland, Aust-Agder. (Unfortunately birth records 1803 – 1807 are missing)
In 1821 an Ole Berge af Førresdahl is confirmed in Bygland – his father is Knud Berge
In 1822 an Ole Knudsen Nordenaa is confirmed by a soldier minister in Bygland. (Nordenaa is a farm in Sandnes Sogn in Bygland)
In 1835 Ole Knudsen, Sannæs moved from Bygland in Aust-Agder to Moland Parish in Telemark. I am not able to read the reason given. (Sandnes is a farm in Tromøe Sogn as well as in Bygland)
In 1835 Ole Knudsen Berge moves into Moland coming from Bygland (Berge is a farm in Moland Sogn)
In 1836 Ole Knudsen Berge marries the widow Bergit Jørgensdt. Berge (She married Knut Kittilsen in 1823 – he died in 1833 at the farm Berge in Birthedalen)
Since birth records are missing there is little chance to find Oles parents from Tromøe Parish – his father and/or himself probably moved from Tromøe to Bygland to serve in the military – it is reasonable to believe that the Ole Knudsen moving from Bygland to Moland where he got married is one and the same Ole.
