Hello, Frederick Olaf Severin Lindseth, b. 01 Jan 1893 in Ørskog that came to Alsen, ND in 1910. In 1900 Ørskogs Census, I see a Fredrik Knudsen Liset, b. 1893. Is this the correct family? What does "Liset" stand for? Thank you!
With the inclusion of the initial K. there might be a little more chance that it could be the same young man. Liset and Lindset are two different farms in Ørskog from the listings of the farm names there in 1900 -- Not to say he couldn't have changed residences between 1900 and 1910.
Did you check the birth/baptismal records for Ørskog for the years 1892-1894? Did it give you addtional information about this young man or men? The birth/baptismal record and a record of confirmation about 15-17 years later should give you enough data to be able to make your determination.
