Not sure; but I don't think so.
I'm quite positive that your folks emigrated in July 1871.
This Marit Mikkelsdr Grøndalen could be a daughter of Mikkel Olsen Grøndalen & Barbro Halvorsdr, ie a cousin to your Margit.

Hi,
I 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[/b
Birgit b.1837, d.1844 (7yr)
Liv b.1840, married to Ola Trondson Brandvøl -> Emigrated to America
Ola [/blue]b. 1843-1923
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Board Members.
I have found the Kari and ole Helgeson Berg family in the 1870 U.S. Census living in Kenyon, Minnesota, Goodhue County under the name of HELGERSON[/blue]
They later moved to Douglas County, in 1872, according to Ole's obituary. We have not been able to locate an obituary or find where Kari is buried yet. We had been looking under the name BERG, but now we will check Helgeson.
I see the children, Birgit (14) Ambjor (10) Andreas? but it should be Helge and the age should be about 6 but it is 8. and Caroline (2).
Do you see a record of this families immigration?The year of immigration appears to be between 1864-1867 |

Have you checked Evansville, Douglas, Minnesota?
As listed in a previous reply, Ole Helgeson Berg was a widower in Evansville in census-1880, with the youngest son Martin born ab 1873. So Kari must have died between 1873-1880.

| yes, we know when Kari died. It was on 11-27-1874. But the douglas county Historical Society has been unable to locate an obituary or her gravesite. Her husband, Ole Helgeson Berg and their son Martin, who died young at age 21 are buried at St. Petri Cemetary but no sign of Kari there. |

...thank you Jan Peter. They had two more children here in the United States. Caroline born in 1868 and Martin born in 1872. He dies at age 21 in 1893 and is buried at St. Petri Cemetery next to his father, Ole H. Berg. But where is Kari resting? I will continue to try to solve that mystery.
in 1900 U.S. Census I see her daughter Caroline and her husband Troud Brandvold and their two boys Leivert (7) and Clarence (1) living in White Rock, South Dakota. That is where her brother, Helge settled. However, after 1900 I see no more record of Caroline and Troud Brandvold. In an obituary of a niece of hers it list her living in Canada in 1948. |

Dear Board Members:
I'm starting to close up my research on this part of my family. some key questions remain which I am working to resolve.
I need your help in finding out what happended to Liv and Ola Trondson Brandvol. In all the documents and information that I have on the family I have seen no mention of these people. Do you see when they emigrated to the United States?
Any information on these people would be most helpful and appreciated.
thank you. |

I'm not sure what happened to Liv and Ola Trondson Brandvold.
But do you know where Ole Helgesen Berg & Kari Mikkelsdatter's son-in-law came from?
As stated above; Ole & Kari's daughter Caroline married Trond O. Brandvold, which could be Trond Olsen Brandvold, born ab 1870.
Could Trond Olsen Brandvold be a son of Ola Trondson Brandvold and wife Liv Mikkelsdatter?
Ie. could Caroline and husband Trond be cousins??

Could this be them in census-1880 for Otisco, Waseca, Minnesota?
Not 100% convinced though...

O.K. My apologies. I do have a note written to myself but about Liv and Ola Trondson Brandvol. I have written two names next to theirs
Ingeborg b. 12-6-1866 and Birgit b. 11-8-1872. I'm sorry but I didn't note the source. As hard as I am trying to keep everything straight my work is sloppy. This genealogy study is confusing. |

I gave you that info about a week ago, I forgot it myself...
Ingeborg, born 06 DEC 1866, chr 01 JAN 1867, Hemsedal, Buskerud
Parents: Ole Thronsen & Liv Mikkelsdr
Birgit, born 08 NOV 1872, chr 01 JAN 1873, Hemsedal, Buskerud
Parents: Ole Thronsen (33) & Liv Mikkelsdr (32)
Ole Trondson Brandvold looks to be born about 1839.
Liv Mikkelsdr Fauske is born 1840.

Thron

Christening 27 FEB 1870, Hemsedal, Buskerud
Parents: Ole Thronsen b. 1839 & Liv Mikkelsdr b. 1840, Hjelmen

It sure looks like Caroline & Trond where first cousins.
