Looks like I may have found him in the 1900 census for Soler, Roseau, Minnesota. The one I found was born Oct 1860 and emigrated in 1882 and occupation is listed as farmer. He was still single.
I found a Minnesota death record for him....death 10 Aug 1913 in Roseau County. |

I've been looking for him in immigration and census', and the only other place I can find him is in the 1905 census for Soler, MN, and he is still single. I don't know why I can't find him in the 1910 census.
Did he have family that emigrated also? There is a Richard O Flaten b 1869 Norway and emigrated around 1885 in Soler, MN. Just wondering. |

[He was alone when he emigrated. I am not familiar with Richard Flaten, but I just resently started to look for ancesters, so I might have missed him in my search. I`ll look deeper into the search for Richard though.
Thankyou so much for your help.

| I don't know if he's related or not, I just happened to find Richard in the same city and state as Oluf. I'm sorry I couldn't find any other info on Oluf. If he died in 1913, I should be able to find him in the 1910 census, but I can't. I'll keep looking tho, because, you never know, he may have married after 1905. |
