have had a look into the Hemsedal Bygdebok now, and Mikkel Olsen Fauske (1797-1872) & Birgit Halvorsdatter (1801-1868) are listed on page 354, as the owner of Fauske Nordre in Hemsedal. Their children:
Margit b. 1830. Son: Tor Aslakson b 1856 -> Emigrated to America
Kari b. 1834. married 1856 to Ola Helgeson Berg -> Emigrated to America
Birgit b.1837, d.1844 (7yr)
Liv b.1840, married to Ola Trondson Brandvøl -> Emigrated to America
Ola b. 1843-1923-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anybody tell me where Kari and Liv emigrated to? Also, can you tell me when they died. |

Dear Jan Peter.
I t hink I can answer my own question. I did a good search and came up with this family tree on rootsweb that details this family in great detail.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hill/ancestorsofmyfatherfolder/ancestorsofmyfather.htm
It show that Margaret's sister, Kari Mikkelsdatter married Ola Helgeson in 1856, which you showed on your post....and that they immigrated to America.....
But surprisingly guess where Kari died? She died in Chippewa Township, which is Brandon, Minnesota on November 27, 1874.
Her husband Ola Berg died October 19, 1901 in Evansville, Minnesota, a town two mile down the road from where Olaf grew up.
No additional details on Margaret, just her date of birth.
Still curious as to where Live and Ola Trondson Brandvol ended up in America. |

This family tree on roots web is a gold mine of information on Margaret's side of the family and in one fell swoop I can go back to the 1500's.
....but still no inforamtion on Oluf's father. This has proven to be very elusive for some reason.

Oluf's father is a mystery.
Here is Margit's brother-in-law, widower Ole H. Berg, in Evansville, Douglas, Minnesota, census-1880.

According to the 1865-census, this Solberg farm where Kristoffer Kaspersen is living, is located in Nedre Eiker (lower Eker), Buskerud. Mariet Michalsd was found in Eker (upper Eker?), census-1865.
Dear Jan Peter.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?show=23&uid=17020&urnread_imagesize=full&hode=nei&ls=1
I see a Kristian Kasperson Solberg #44. Do you think this might be the person we are looking for? Is this the same on as you noted above?
According to the information I have, Olufs father died after Oluf was born.
Oluf was born April 18, 1870
This Kristian Solberg died November 11, 1870.
Margaret and Oluf emigrated from Norway, July 7, 1871.
p.s. I did get the death certificate from Oluf's half brother Theodore and it confirms what you found,his father was Aslak Thorsen Bakke. |

Hmm..., this is actually the brother to the Kristoffer Kaspersen i linked to earlier. It is a very good possibility!! 
He dies as a bachelor though, 38 years old.

Dear Hopkins, thank you for the link. It was very interesting and helpful. I have located a bydebok for Nedre-Eiker for the commune of MODUM. I will have to order it through interlibrary loan but I am thinking that if I reference the farm number that Kristoffer Kaspersen lived on they might be able to copy the appropriate pages.
On the link that Jan Peter posted does it indicate what farm the Kaspersen family lived on?
thank you. |

Dear Jan Peter. According the Theodore's death certificate he passed away on January 9, 1916. It shows that he had been suffering from chronic prostatitis for a duration of 2 years. It looks like he took one last trip back to the homeland to say goodbye to what family he had left there.

Hi Jan Peter, I have ordered the MODUM bydgeboks from Concordia College, they along with St. Olaf and the Library of congress were the only ones to have it, apprenently. I have a friend who can read Norwegian and so maybe we can find this Margaret and Christoffer somewhere in there. If you or anybody else on this board have any other ideas please let me know.
thank you.
p.s. I did receive a picture of two of the daughters of Ole and KARI (Margaret's sister) Berg from the Douglas county historical society. Very interesting! |

Dear Board Members:
The Modum Gardshistorian is being shipped to me and I should receive it by the end of the week. Can someone tell me how are the farms referenced? Is it by farm number, or name? For the family on the Solberg farm that Jan Peter linked above, is there a sure way to find them in this Modum Bydgebok with the information listed in the link? |
