No, you are right. There is no connection to the Kallerud farm from the original documents found. But both Emil and Hjalmar used the Kallerud name when they left Oslo in 1906/1907, so the family must have lived there at some time.
In 1884, they lived at Skudem.
In 1887, they lived at Toon (Toen).
In 1900, they lived at Hjerpeland søndre (Gjerpeland søndre).

I would assume that the family moved to Kallerud between 1901-1906.

Thanks to everyone for all your great help. The info and records you have given me are amazing! Im still trying to find something on Hjalmers sister, Inga. when searching for someone on ancestry.com would i use the farm name or just the given name and the proper varient of the fathers name?
Thanks again everyone.

Hi,
Inga left Oslo two years before Hjalmar.
Inga Kallerud (22) from Lardal, emigrating on April 29th 1904. She could thus be the sponsor for Hjalmar 2 years later.
"Ida Kallerud" arrived Halifax, Nova Scotia on the ship Numidian on May 17th, 1904.

Here is the arrival of Inga Kallerud in 1904. Jan Peter made it easy to find her on Ancestry.com by providing the year she imigrated plus the ship. But note the misspelling of her first name. When using Ancestry.com, I have found you must be aware that the names are very often quite different from what you might expect them to be. In the end you will end up using every variant of the name that you can think of and even then you must scroll through the names and be alert for names that are close to the name you are looking for.

Name: Ida Kallerud
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Estimated birth year: abt 1882
Date of Arrival: 17 May 1904
Vessel: Numidian
Search Ship Database: View the 'Numidian' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Port of Arrival: Halifax, Nova Scotia and New York, New York
Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Liverpool, England

We have to remember that there are usually at least two people that the information passes throiugh before we see it. In this case someone from the ship wrote down her name. Looking at the orginal manifest it is very difficult for me to really make out her first name. It could be Inga but it could be Ida. The only thing that is certain is that it begins with I after that anything is possible. So the second person in this chain who transcribes the name for Ancestry.com writes down Ida. That being his best interpretation as to what the name is. Makes the search for ancedstors an interesting game indeed.

Since everyone was so helpful on finding info on my great grandfather, I was hoping maybe you could help me with my great grandmother and her family also born in Norway. Her name is Helma Nilsen, born Dec. 24, 1890 Norway, Died July 31, 1974 in Ashland, Wisconsin USA. She was the wife of Hjalmer. her parents were Rikhard Nilsen and Karoline Olsen. As usual, I'm interested in finding info on her, her parents and a list of brothers and sisters she may have had. I am searching several websites and using different spellings of the names looking for a hit, but no luck, except for finding her in the social security death index. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

It's all in parish registers and censuses available at Digitalarkivet.
From the individual links you will see which county and parish.

The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005.

The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].

Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -
