Any info on a Johannes Nilssen 1600-1770? or an Anne Olsdatter? They had a son Peder born 1720-1801. Thank you, Nettsey

You need information about WHERE in Norway. If you are lucky there might be a history/genealogy publication about the area that might help you.
The names you list are very very common and impossible to identify without more information.

Your Johannes Nilssen could not have lived from 1600-1770. No one lived for 170 years.

Well, Johann (1600-1670) with son Peder (1720-1801) does not look like solid information -
Millingsford is an English name. In Norwegian it should be " -fjord". The first part may be Meling, which is a farm name several places in Rogaland and Hordaland, I have not found Melingsfjord. There are two places Melingsvåg. Våg is a short fjord.

The dates for when Johannes died and Peder was born dont correspond, this next is worth a try.

You are right about Milligsford isn´t Norwegian.

Could it be farm Millingsjorden in Hemnes sub parish in Rana municipality, Nordland County, see less the 2 inches down here and;

7) Johannes Nilssen (1699-1767), he bought Millingsjorden in 1717 and married 1718 to widow Ane, oldest son Peder was born 1720, he died 1767, married 1760 to Syneve Helene Andersdr. (1735-1807), 5 daughters; Jonilla, Anna, Elisabeth, Andrena and Johanne Helene.

The widow Syneve married 2. time1777 to Johannes Thomassen (1752-1817), see Syneve and Johannes on Millingsjorden in 1801
