If you find any documents, please attach a link so I can use as a reference. Okay, here goes with all of the information that I have: Date: Approximately mid 1800s Location: Aurland (possibly Aurdal/Kvam
Jens Olson was probably born sometime around 1800-1820
Eli Olsdatter was about the same age. They had a son called Ole Jenson
They emigrated around 1865 (Ole had gone before).
Did they have any other children than Ole? Did Ole have a wife and children in Norway? Any reference for Ole and Jens emigration date/location? Thanks.

Jens Olsen (24) and Eli Olsdatter (21) were married Febr 12 1835, see #4 they were both at Winjum when they married.
Jens father was Ole Jacobsen and Elis father was Ole Thoredatter.
Their first son was Ole born May 2 1835, see #43
They also had a Jens in 1839, see #26
he must have died since they had Jens from the 1865 census later.

Jens Olsen Vinjum and Eli Olsdatter emigrated 1866 with 6.children #53-60
Anders Olsen Vinjum age 48, #61 could be Jens brother.
It was several emigrants from Vinjum in the early 1850s.
If I remember right Vinjum has been investigated earlier here in Norway Heritage.
