I am seeking any information about the family of my g-g. grandmother, Anna Bakken Olsen, who is said to have been born in Romedal on March 7, 1877, to Ole Olsen and Oline Lokting. Her siblings are to include Ingeborg (md. Ludwig Nilsen), Ole, Bertha, Christ (b. abt 1886), Kersti, Ella (b. abt 1887), Nina and Marius. I know very little about this family, and would like to know where they lived, and when and where they were born, etc... Anything would be much appreciated.
Anna emigrated to the United States sometime between 1903 and 1908, but I have been unable to find a passenger listing, and settled in North Dakota where she settled and raised a family. She was responsible for bringing her brother Christ and Sister Ella to America as well.
Again, any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Anne Olsdatter Skjøtterneie, born 1877, confirmed 25 SEP 1892, left Romedal for America on 23 OCT 1905.
#21, right page here
An interesting observation about the girl listed above just Anne:
#20 Anne Marie Larsen (19) from Romedal.
She left Oslo on a pre-paid ticket on Oct. 27th 1905, and arrived New York on The Baltic on Nov 10th, 1905, sailing from Liverpool, England on Nov 1st.
Her destination was brother Olaf Larsen in Brocket, ND.
I've been looking for Anne Olsdatter Skjøtterneie on the same ship, but haven't found her.
It would make sense if they were travelling together on the same ship, although it's 6 days between the parish records from Romedal.
I have not found Anne Olsdatter Skjøtterneie in the Oslo emigration records either... strange.

Ellevine Olsen (19) from Romedal arrived New York on Apr 05, 1907 on The Baltic. Ticket was paid by her sister. Final destination reads sister Anna Olsen, Box 121, Brockett(?), ND. Could be Brocket in Ramsey county.

Her brother Kristen Olsen Skjøtterneie left Oslo on Oct. 19th 1907, headed for North Dakota on a pre-paid ticket.
He arrived on the ship The Victorian, arriving Montreal, Quebec on Nov 2nd 1907, dep. Liverpool, England on Oct 25th. Destination reads Brocket, ND.

Annas sister Nina and her brother Oskar Marius were recorded as servants at Galgum søndre in 1900, see # 964 and 968.

Their parents Ole Olsen and Oline Marthea Olsdatter were married April 24 1869, see #6. Ole was born at Ottestadeie and was 26 1/2 years old, Oline Marthea was born at Lia in Elverum and was 21 1/4 years old.

Oline Marthea was born Jan 29 1848, see #20, her father was Ole Pedersen and the mother was Ingeborg Christensdatter. (They were not married)

Thank you so much eibache and jwiborg for all the wonderful information. This really fills in a lot of gaps and a lot of questions I have had about my family. Is there any way to find out when the parents may have died? It appears from the 1900 census that Ole was already dead by this time. Also, how would I go about finding death dates for the various siblings? I think it would really help if I knew Norwegian! :) Also, I neglected to mention that several of the children used the surname "Bakken" after coming to the United States. Why would this be? I'm assuming it has something to do with the farm they lived on, which appears to be called "Skjøtterenbakken." Thanks again, and any further information you might be able to offer would be much appreciated. I can't wait to share this with my family.

You're welcome.
I think you should be able to locate the death-records yourself, now that you know where to look... It's not so difficult, and shouldn't require a lot of Norwegian language skills.

Start here http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read
Select language: English
Select county: Hedmark
Select parish: Romedal
The available records should be listed. Scan through the records, page by page...

And you are right about Oline being listed as a widow in the 1900-census. If you want to look for Ole's death record, you then now that he must have died between 1888-1900.
The same way you could find records of family members, but keep in mind that records after 1930 are not available.

It was common for Norwegians that emigrated to take the farm-name as a surname. Skjøttereneie / Skjøtterenbakken would be the name of their farm, but there's no doubt that that name would be difficult to use in America. So they just kept the ending Bakken, which can be translated into "The Hill"
Skjøtteren would be the main farm, and small holdings under the main farm would normally take names with the same prefix, but with endings like -eie, -bakken, etc.
Skjøtteren-eie and Skjøtteren-bakken is most likely the same farm, the endings often changed throughout the decades.

I'm not sure what the original meaning of the prefix "Skjøtteren" is. I believe the farm is called Skytra today.

To find Oline Martheas father Ole Olsen is more of a challenge (there are so many Ole Olsens!).
In this case it is known that he was born at Ottestad in Stange in 1842/1843. His confirmation record is most likely #7 - confirmation date Oct 1858 where it says he was born Febr 27 at nordre Ottestadeie in Stange.
The baptismal record is also most likely #6 saying he was born Febr 27 1842 and baptized March 19 1843. His mother was Siri Olsdatter and the father was Ole Olsen (they were not married).

Again, thank you both for your help. I have been perusing through the records and believe I have located father Ole Olsen's death, on 17 Sep 1893. I also found a death date for daughter Ottine, 19 Nov 1882. So far I have been unable to determine a death date for mother Oline. I have scanned through the parish records for Romedal, but perhaps she moved from the area. I have located several records for daughter Ingeborg's family, including birth information for her children with her husband Fredrik Ludvig Nilsen. My g-g. grandmother Anna died in 1967, and I believe her obituary stated that siblings "Marius" and Mine were still living in Norway at the time. I am sure I have a lot of family members still in the area. Hopefully someday I will be able to make a trip back to the homeland.

Hi!

Oskar Marius Olsen - Later named Marius Hauglie is my g-g grandfather. I am actually named after him. I'm not sure when he changed his name to Hauglie but I think it must be once they moved to the Haugli farm.

If you have found any more info on the Hauglie Family, please let me know :)
