My great-grandfather Johannes Borreson was born 20 Jul 1840 in Toten, Oppland, Norway. His parents and siblings are included in the 1865 census, here:

but I can't seem to find Johannes. He immigrated to America in 1868 and I have found him in the 1870 Wisconsin census. Thank you for your help.

He was still with the family in 1855 when he was confirmed, see #17
In April 1865 he moved to Grimstad, see #17
