It looks like b]Eirick 1840 m Marte Hustadbergji; Liv 1848 m Ola Olson Trøym "Ottar Ola[/b]" registered to leave for America on the same day they were married! See # 3 through #6 April 11, 1870 Erik and Marte Sletto and Liv and Ole Troym
Wow, this must have been an exciting time for them! |

Dear Researchers:
I have been unable to find any trace of Ronnaug Helgesdatter Berg and her sons Lage and Erik Lageson Berg since their emigration from Norway in 1857. I have tried Ancestry.com and Familysearch.org.
Uttflyta 1857 #18-20
1. I am thinking their destination may not have been America as I assumed. Can someone verify the destination written off to the right?
2. If it is America, can anybody locate them in any census?
Ronnaug Helgesdatter Berg b. 1824 Hemsedal
son: Lage Lageson Berg b. 1848
son: Erik Lageson Berg b. 1850
Thank you!
Erik.

See above death record for Lage Eriksen, #17, 1853. Can you identify the farm he died on? It appears to Fauskeie? Many of my family were on Fauske. What is the significance of the "ie" at the end of the main farm name?
thank you. |

For the record, have discovered a "lost" child of Ole and Liv Branvold. Their first child was Thron, see birth record hereBirth of Thron # 27
It looks like he died about 6 months after his birth.......Death of Thron, #17 1865
I don't believe his name was mentionned in the Bydgebok, but he was there...... |

Hi Erik,
Today I happened on this on page 15 in Emigrantar fra Hallingdal by Botolv Baklien:
Sailship "Gazelle" leaving from Bergen 11 May 1870 arrival in Quebec 23 June 1870, Captain P. Warness
Sletto, Erik Torsteinson; 30 years, married from Hemsedal
(son of Torstein Olson Fausko/Vøllo)
Sletto, Marte Olsdtr; 21 years, married from Hemsedal
(born on Hustadberget 1849)
Trøym, Ola Olson; 35 years, married from Hemsedal
(son of fiddler Ola Jonson)
Trøym, Liv Torsteinsdtr; 24 years, married from Hemsedal
(daughter of Torstein Olson Fausko/Vøllo)
Unfortunately, no ultimate U.S. destination is given.
Hope this is of interest....
Jackie M.

Thank you Jackie.
We know the Sletto's oringially settled in Brandon, MN. Erik Sletto, begin Margit's first cousin, was her witness to her marriage to Josias Boraas.
I have learned some more interesting things about Oluf and his wife Mary DAhl. Mary Dahl had a sister, Thora, who married a John Peter Johnson and they lived in Grant County, Elbow Lake area. J.P. Johnson was a photographer and he was known for his group photos. Perhaps if anybody sees a marking on the bottom of a photograph and it say Johnson, or Johnson Brothers, or Johnson and Son it is this person that took it.
Thora and J.P. had a son, Ansgar Johnson, and he was the great Boise Photographer. I spoke with his son who said all his photos, which were priceless, were destroyed in a devastating hotel fire, where their studio was located, in Boise Idaho. They moved there around 1911.
I hope your New Year has gotten off to a great start. Me, I am still learning everything I can and having a blast meeting distant relatives, and making new friends.
Warmest Regards,
Erik. |

It looks like Erik Torsteinsen Sletto and his sister Liv Torsteinsdatter Sletto had a double marriage! They got married April 11, 1870. See here~Erik and Liv Sletto's double marriage #4 and #5 in 1870

I think you are right Jan Peter, Thorset is a farm in Hemsedal, spelled Torsæt in 1900.
Various spellings for Thorset from Ola Rygh:
Torset, Tordsett, Thordsetter, Trosetter, Torseet, Tordset.

Hi Jan Peter.
I have only seen reference to these people from Jackie Marler who told me their name was found to be Trøym in the Norwegian Farm Book. I didn't want to tell you this because I didnt' want you to be influenced by that when you looked at the farm name.
I have had no luck in finding these people, Ole Olsen (Trøym or Thorset?) over here. But this is what I do know:
1. Ole Olsen was born in 1835
2. Liv Thorsendatter was born in Feb. 15, 1846, daughter of Torstein Olsen and kari Ericksdatter Grondalen
3. Liv was a brother to Erik Sletto, who was born in 1840
4. Liv and her brother Erik got married on the same day in April 11, 1870
5. Both couples emmigrated abord the Gazelle leaving Bergen on May 11, 1870 to the United States. The ship's register -transcribed-listed Ole and Liv's last name as From.
Nobody knows where Ole and LIv ended up over here. I have been unable to locate them in any census information.

Hi,
the Trøym farm is located 4 km south-east of Fausko.
Hmmm.... a bit hard to read the record...
