I'm having another problem finding people! Amund Lein b abt 1840 Norway, wife Mary b abt 1850 Norway. They emigrated about 1882 to 1885. I can't find them in any immigration, no Norwegian census....nothing! They ended up in Worth and Winnebago Counties, Iowa. Their children are: Anne b abt 1870, Osmund b abt 1874, Andrine b abt 1876, Soren b Mar 1878, and Oline b abt 1882/3....All these were born in Norway. 2 children were born in Iowa.
Is there anyone who can help?! Please!! Thank you |

Tami,
perhaps only a shot in the dark,
but when I saw the name Lein I first think of Leinstrand close to Trondheim in Sør-Trøndelag.
About 80- 90% of emigrants from Trondheim (total 306) with last name Lein is coming from this areas or Sør-Trøndelag county.

Martin Ulvestad's "Nordmændene i Amerika", vol. 2 p 528 lists O. A. Lein, (which could be Osmund Amundsen Lein) emigrated from Frosta (Frosten pr. Trondhjem). He was a teatcher living at Hesper Iowa about 1900.
There are Leins listed from Sigdal and Levanger also. |

1883 Emigrants
What do you think? Does this look like them?!
If it's them, they sure didn't make it to Minnesota!!
It doesn't tell me where they were born either, just where they were living at that time. |

Birth Record
I found Anne's birth record. #39, shows her parents as Amund Osmundsen Lein and Marie.....I think it says Sorensdatter? There are dates too, that I can't read by their names....anyone have any idea?
Since it says Lein, I guess I did find the right people!!
Ok, now I found all the birth records except for the father: Amund Osmundsen Lein born 1839 somewhere. |

1865 census
Looks like the father was also born in Mo! His name shows as Anund, not Amund.
I'm sorry I'm putting all this in....I'm soo excited!!

You are right, she was Sørensdatter. The dates by the parents names are their birth years and wedding year. The father is #13 his parents were Osmund Omundsen and Anne Anundsdatter living at Omdals Værk.
Marias birth record #31 her parents were Søren Knudsen and Bergitte Evensdatter living at the Skreosen farm. (her father married a second time in 1857), see the 1865 census here
Anund and Maries wedding record is #8.
Marriage record for Søren and Bergitte is #2 bottom of page here

Tami,
Anund Aasmundsen Lien born 1839, his wife Marie Sørensdatter born 1848(-42?) and 6 children emigrated to America August 27. 1883 nr 20 from Mo parish in Tokke municipality in Telemark.
Lien will likely be pronunced Lein in USA, my 5. cousin Mike from Washington DC was looking for his ggg.mother Ingeborg born on Lien in Sauherad, her place of birth was changed to Lein in USA after verbal handovers in the family.
Anund was born Oct. 31. 1839 on Omdals Værk, a copper mine in Skafså reopened 1782,#13, parents was as Einar find out above.
Omdals Værk
Skafså parish in Mo in present Tokke municipality in West-Telemark

Thank you so much for all that information! I was so excited to actually be able to find them. Kåre, I did notice that there were quite a few Leins and Liens in Iowa where I was searching for mine. Some of the people related to mine had the letters switched but some of them did not. Makes it a little harder to find all the info I need!! Einar, thank you so much for verifying what I thought I read...at least I could get it from that writing....it was a little hard to read. Thanks again!!
