Are you sure it is Douglas County. Searching in Ancestry.com for male born in 1820 +/- 5 years in Norwa in the 1885 Minnesota Census for Douglas County did not turn up a good candidate. There are three Ole Tollefson in the 1885 Minnesota Census as follows.
Name: Ole Tollefson
Census Date: 1 May 1885
County: Jackson
Locality: Christiania
Birth Location: Norway

Hi Anton, Thank you for your research. I am pretty sure it was Brandon. If you see the 1885 emigration listed in a post prior to this one, the record for the Mossing girls they listed Brandon as their destination. They emigrated too late to be included in the 1885 minnesota census but the father of the family, Ole Tollefsen or perhaps he went by the name of Mossing? should have been in Brandon already. I am assuming this is Brandon, Minnesota (Douglas County)
Thank you.

Jan Peter, could you take a look at this and tell me what you think?
First, here is the birth record of a Peter Ellevsen #46, birth record Peter Ellevsen (Frosten)
Jan Peter:
I believe the farm name of Ellev's mother was also Mossing. Do you read "ibid" after her name Karen Anna Pedersdatter...ibid?
Thank you. |

Erik, your post is so long, I confess I have not read the whole thing so some of this may be familar to you. I did not find the Mossing family in Minnesota, but this looks like them or at least a part of them in Canada. It looks as if they came to Canada in 1908 from where ? Minnesota.

Hi Anton: Yes this thread is long but it this has not been covered yet. only in the last few posts. This connection to the Mossing family holds interest to me in that we have some very old photographs that cannot be identified....and I am wondering if they are these people. It is odd that the Mossing can not be found in census for Minnesota. When I get to a computer that has Ancestry access I will also look .
thank you. |

On the same page in the 1911 Census of Canada is this for Hanna Mossing. Altough if she is married how does she happen to be using the Mossing name.

Parents: Bachelor Ellev Gabrielsen Mossing & girl Karen Anna Pedersdatter (.....?)
Both their 1st Illegitimate child
Ellev Gabrielsen Mossing (1840-1922)
Parents: Gabriel Olsen Mossing & Elen Kjerstina Ellevsdatter Nonstad.
Married Kirsten Margrethe Olsdatter Fonnåen (Fanum) in 1867.
Their children:
Elen Oline Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1868
Germanus Ellevsen Mossing b. 1870, d. 1908
Hanna Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1872
Eilert Marius Ellevsen Mossing b. 1875, d. 1878

Othelie Ellevsdatter Mossing b. 1884
Hans Peter Ellevsen Mossing b. 1889, d. 1950 in Hibing, Minnesota
Since the parents was not married, the child normally stayed with it's mother. The reson why he is in a foster home in 1865 could be several. The mother could have died, she could be in financial difficulties or she could have emigrated.

I am replying here because of the mention of Margaret Solberg. I am looking for information on Anne Christoffersdatter Solberg Ellefsen b.1835 and Hannah Solberg b.1823 d.1909. I believe both to be the children of Christofer Pytt Solberg and Abegail Pytt Solberg. Both are buried in the Ellefsen family plot in Rollag, Minnesota. Anne is buried next to her husband Anton Ellefson and two of her children. Hannah is also there, alone. Who was her husband (Andrew??) and who were her children? What was Abegail's father's name?
Thanks, Janice |

Hanna Marie Kristofersdatter, born 23 Nov 1882, Strømsgodset, Buskerud
Olaf Kristofersen,, born 10 Feb 1885, Strømsgodset, Buskerud
Johannes Kristofersen, born 24 Sep 1887, Strømsgodset, Buskerud
Adolf Kristofersen, born 9 Jan 1890, Strømsgodset, Buskerud
Harald Kristofersen, born 8 Feb 1893, Strømsgodset, Buskerud
In census-1900, Christofer Olsen Solberg's 1st wife Emilie Weberg is dead, and Christofer lives with his children in Strømsgodset parish. Christofer is a butcher and sells meat.
Note: Some parts of Strømsgodset can be found under Vestfold. Christofer must have married Olga Hansdatter after 1900.
Interesting that he named his first son Olaf! In remembrance of the son that "left" him in 1872...?

Hi Jan Peter,
I hope you are well. Going back to an old post a couple of years ago. You were correct in identifying this man as my great grandfather's father.
A distant relative from Norway has been in touch with me and has forwarded to me a photo of this Kristoffer Olsen Solberg and everything matches. Apparently, Kristoffers grandfather (Olufs greatgrandfather) was a famous and wealthy man: he was one of the founders of the norwegian state at Eidsvoll in 1814. They were a wealthy family.
Thank you. |

Nice! 
He might have said Hello to my g.g. grandfather then!
I believe he was there as well. Not as a Member of the 1814-Parliament, but as a coachman for the local district member from my area... So he probably slept in the barn...
