You should look for this:
Farmname: Solbergeiet
Land number: 45 (Norw: Gårdsnummer, Gnr)
Title number: 5 (Norw: Bruksnummer, Bnr)
Parish: Nedre Eiker (Norw: Sogn/Herred)
County: Buskerud
The book is most likely sorted by landnumbers. Look for land number 45, and title number 5, which was the farm owned by Kristoffer Kaspersen.

The many Norwegian history/genealogy books for many different areas that have (thankfully) been written are different - different authors/editors, different areas and different methods of organization. Without ever having seen that particular book it is impossible to predict.
If you are lucky beyond belief there might be a NAME index for persons (check the back pages). If you are still lucky, but slightly less than my first option, the front or back pages of the book will give an index to the names of the farms included. (Names are names and numbers are numbers in any language -- well, that might not work if you hand me a Chinese book.)
You, of course, will be looking for the section of the book that discusses the Solberg farm. I'd guess that Solbergeiet (Solberg-eiet) would be toward the end of the pages devoted to the Solberg farm.
I would imagine that if any of us here had easy access to that particular book - we would already have checked it for you.

Knut Olsen Teigen (travelling companion) to Theodore A. Thompson in 1914, is Theodore's cousin!
Knut is the son of Margit's brother Ole Mikkelsen Fauske-Teigen (1843-1923).
Ole Mikkelsen Fauske-Teigen (1843-1923) & Sunnev Knutsdatter Fekjo (1836-1906) had the following children:
Mekkel 1864-1955, farmer on Fauske-Teigen
Birgit* 1867-1952, married to Ola Nilsson Brandvøl
Birgit* 1870, married to Endre Trondson Jordheim -> Emigrated to America
Knut 1872 -> Emigrated to America
Ola 1874 -> Emigrated to America
Per 1878 -> Emigrated to America
Margit 1881

For the record, here is a link showing that Olaf's Cousins Peder Teigen and Birgit (Teigen) Jordheim along with her husband Endre emigrated to the United States in 1900. Their final destination was Wyndmere, North Dakota.
Birgit and Peder's brother, KNUT TEIGEN, had emigrated earlier to South Dakota, Day County.

| Thank you for this. No Mrs. Teigen? Were the Slethangs laborers on the farm? In some family information I have it says Peder Teigen eventually finds himself in Kalispell, Montana. I know this because I found his brother's Knut Teigen's biographical sketch in a book called The History of Day County...page 170. It shows Knut retiring from the farm with his wife to move to Montana near his brother Peder in the late 1930's. In 1942 he dies in Kalispell, where he is buried with his wife, Amelia. This is all pertinent information as Knut and Peder are first cousins to Oluf. |

How would I know? I've never heard of the person before, but he/she was listed together wih Peder O. Teigen in the census. It could be his wife, and thus the mother to "Owin", "Owold" & "Henrick".
Although Cecil is mainly a male name..., you have to check the census!
Maybe it's his wife, and that she was originally named Sissel of something?
There is a record of one Cecil Teigen who died 1959 in Silver Bow, Montana.

I see the family is in Flathead Montana in 1920. I see that Cecil is spelled Cecel in that Census so maybe that is a women's name and that is his wife, most likely it is.
Thanks. This is interesting information but mainly a diversion until I can get access to the Modum Bydgebok and start in to finding out Oluf's father.
p.s. I spoke with a family member who actually visited the Aslaksen people over in Norway and had been looking for the same inforamtion we are looking for. They could only speculate that Aslak and Margit had an affair. To support this theory they state that Aslak, feeling guily, sent her and the boys away to stay with a brother in Iowa. We can add to that by saying we found the ships manifest showing both of the boys named Aslaksen.
But I don't buy into this theory because why would Margit allow Theodore and Oluf to believe they were Half Brothers if in fact they were from the same father.? There would be nothing to gain from that at all. Theodore's death certificate showing his father as Aslak Thorsen was accurate. Oluf's death certificate showing Christoffer Solberg must be accurate as well...... |

Regarding Endre and Birgit Jordheim, who emigrated to America with Birgit's Brother, Peder. I did find them in the 1900 Census under the name....Jackeim....living with a Haugen family in Garborg, Richland County, North Dakota.
But after that I see no record of the family, at least none that I could find. I'm thinking they might have emigrated to Canada?
I think this is a possibilty for two reasons:
1.. Margarit's sister Liv married a Ola Trondson Brandvol and they emigrated but I have found no record of them in the U.S.
2. Margarit's sister, Kari had a daughter Carolina who married a Brandvol and they lived in Canada. |

Dear Board Members.
I found a Ole O. Teigen, born October 1874 in Norway, living in Gilby Township, Grand Forks, ND in the 1900 Census. Could this be the son of Ola Mikkelsen Fauske (Teigen) and Sunnev Knutsdatter Fekjo? |

Ole, son of Ole Mikkelsen and Sunnef Knudsdatter is born on the Teigen farm in Hemsedal on 04 OCT 1874.
So it looks like you have the correct man.
Godparents were Liv Mikkelsdatter, Ole Tronsen Sletto, Knud Andersen, Ingvald Knudsen & Kari Knudsdatter Fekjo.
Liv Mikkelsdatter & Ole Tronsen Sletto must be Margit's sister Liv b. 1840, and her husband Ola Trondson Brandvøl. He probably lived on both Sletto and Brandvøl farms.
Kari Knudsdatter Fekjo is most likely Sunnev's sister. Ingvald Knudsen could be her husband.

O.K. This is pretty amazing.
Godparents were Liv Mikkelsdatter, (Ole. O. Teigen's Aunt)
Ole Tronsen Sletta, (This must be Liv's husband. I had him known as Ola Trondsen Brandvol. But in fact he is Sletta. NOW I think I know where this family emigrated to. They may have emigrated to Brandon, Evansville area where there name was SLETTO.

Ole Thronsen & Liv Mikkelsdr had two daughters named Ingeborg & Birgit
Ingeborg, born 06 DEC 1866, chr 01 JAN 1867, Hemsedal, Buskerud
Parents: Ole Thronsen & Liv Mikkelsdr, Grøndalseie
Godparents: Ole Torstensen, Birgit Torstensdr, ...?, Marit Mikkelsdr Grøndalen
Could godparent Marit Mikkelsdr Grøndalen be O.J. Burros' mother? Not sure if I dechipered the document correctly...
Grøndalen was the place where Birgit Halvorsdr's sister Barbro Halvorsdr (Margit & Liv Mikkelsdr's aunt) was living, with her husband Mikkel Olsen.
Birgit, born 08 NOV 1872, chr 01 JAN 1873, Hemsedal, Buskerud
Parents: Ole Thronsen (33) & Liv Mikkelsdr (32), Slettene
Godparents: Ole Mikkelsen, ..?... Teigen, Margit Mikkelsdr, Christer ... Grøndalen, Hans Johnsen Tubbe
This can't be your Margit Mikkelsdr, since she emigrated before January 1873...

interesting if this is so, does that change the possibility of where O.J. Burros' birth and baptism would be recorded in the Parish books? |
