| Spellings vary? Their tombstones are Kittil Gulekson 1832-1906, Kari Gulekson 1828-1913. They had a son Andrew Gulickson 1872-1960. Kittil and Kari Gullickson lived in Ashland, Dodge County, Minnesota. Kittil arrived in 1855 and lived in Wisconsin before Minn. Kari arrived in 1866. Was wondering if there would be some record of where Kittil was going to in Wisconsin? I would like to find him in 1860 Census for Wisconsin. Thanks for any help you can offer. |

There is a Ancestry.com family tree titled "Thompson Family Tree" which contains some information about Kittil and Karie. You should contact the owner and exchange your information.
Your specific request for Kittil's destination in Wisconsin, is going to be a tough record to find from Norway.

There is one Kettle Golac (26) in the 1860-census for Lowville, Columbia, Wisconsin.
What makes this person interesting is the person listed below; Emily Golac (60).
Emily could be his mother, and her name is interesting since Kittils oldest daughter was named Emily.

Per the Ancestry.com family tree I cited above, they have traced Kari Danielsdatter back 6 generations. Kari Danielsdatter birth is given as 28 APR 1828 in Moen, Sauherad, Telemark, Norway
Death 1910 in USA
Her father was Daniel Bjørnsen(1791-1874) born at Vestre Bergan, Saurehed.
There is distant relative named Kittil Christofersen(1633-1690) and a Anne Gulliksdatter(1584-1666)
Per the 1910 US census:
Name: Carrie Gullickson
Age in 1910: 84
Estimated Birth Year: 1826
Birthplace: Norway
Relation to Head of House: Mother
Father's Birth Place: Norway
Mother's Birth Place: Norway
Home in 1910: Canisteo, Dodge, Minnesota
Marital Status: Widowed
Race: White
Gender: Female
Year of Immigration: 1866
Household Members: Name Age
Iulick Gullickson 44 (Gulick)
Andrew Gullickson 37
Carrie Gullickson 84
Carrie's immigration is listed as 1866, and she has had 7 children, and only 2 are still living. That would be Gulick and Andrew. See Above.
Previous census data indicates there was an Emily born in1863 and Gulik was born in 1864, both were born in Wisconsin.
Some dates are wrong or Kittil had a previous wife.
Dave, if you could find out what fylke(County) Kittil was born in, it would be a big help. Unless you all ready have this information and are only looking to prove he lived in Wisconsin in 1860.

| Probably he was Kittel Gulleksen, born 1832 nr 131 on Tvetene, Bø, Telemark. His parents were Gullek Olsen and Ingeborg Olsdatter. Ingeborg would often be called Imma or Emma, anf that might become Emily in USA. |

I think Kittels lastname Gulekson could be his fathers patronymic. If Kittels father was an Olsen, Emily would most certain be named Emily Olson in the 1860-census from Wisconsin?
This depends of course if Kittel's father emigrated with them. If Kittel emigrated with his widowed mother, Gulekson could be Kittel's patronymic.
Kittels first son is named Gulik.
I wonder if Kittels father was named Gullik Gulliksen?

Could this be your Kittel?
Dodge County, MN newspaper
Posted: 30/Oct/1905
"Kittel K. Gullickson died at the state hospital in Rochester Wednesday, last week. He was over seventy-five years of age and is survived by three sons and one daughter, the latter living in North Dakota. His home was in Ashland township. The funeral service was held Sunday from the West St. Olaf church, Rev. J. A. Thorsen officiating."
The middle initial "K." could be an error.
MN Death Certificate:
GULICKSON, KITTEL
Date of Birth: <1831>
Place of Birth: NORWAY
Mother Maiden Name: na
certid# 1905-41-554
Date of Death: 18 Oct 1905
County of Death: OLMSTED |
Personal genealogy focus: Goodhue County, Minnesota and the Norway kommunes of L�rdal; Aurland and Vang in Valdres. |

The middle initial "K." could be an error, but it could also be a very vital clue!  I think it is the initial from his patronymic.
I think the "K" stands for Kittilsen, thus Kittil Gulekson's name in Norway was Kittil Kittilsen.
The Gulliksen lastname could come from his fathers lastname, e.g. Kittil's parents could be Kittil Gulliksen and wife "Emilie", born ca 1800.
I also believe his origin in Norway is Telemark county. His wife was from that area, and both Kittil and Gullik are names that was popular and specific from that area.
If we assume it is Kettle Golac (26) in census-1860 for Lowville, Columbia, Wisconsin, it could be his mother Emily Golac 60 who are listed below him.
Could we be looking for this:
Kittel Gulliksen, born ca 1800
wife "Emily", born ca 1800
son Kittel Kittelsen, born ca 1831
Emigrated from Telemark to Wisconsin ca 1855
Kittel Gulliksen has passed away in census-1860, and the widow and son lives in Lowville, Columbia, Wisconsin...?
US info:
Kittil Gulekson 1832-1906. Emigration 1855. Lived in Wisconsin before Minn.
wife: Kari Gulekson 1828-1913. Emigration 1866. = Kari Danielsdatter, born 28 APR 1828 in Moen, Sauherad, Telemark, Norway
Son: Andrew Gulickson 1872-1960.
Residence: Ashland, Dodge County, Minnesota
Census-1880 for Ashland, Dodge, Minnesota:
Kittle Gullikson 49
Kari Gullikson 52
Emily Gullikson 17
Gulik Gullikson 16
Cornelia Gullikson 13
Andrew Gullikson 6
A possibility for the 1860-census:
Kettle Golac 26
Emily Golac 60. Possibly Kettle's mother?
Place: Lowville, Columbia, Wisconsin.

They certainly were the family from Tveiten and Evju, Bø in Telemark. They emigrated May 9th 1853 : - widow Ingeborg Olsdatter Evju, born Jan 11 1800 and son Kittel Gunleksen, born Sep 2 1832.
In US they were expected to have a family surname, so Ingeborg (=Emma =Emily) got the same surname as her son: Gulliksen.
So Ingeborg became a "son of Gullik", a son of her own husband.
Gullik Olsen Evju died Jan 20 1851, 66 years old. |

I.m sure Harald has found the correct birth record of Kittel Gulliksen (born September 2, 1832 in Bø, Telemark). The farm name appears to be Evien-rud?
Some East/West St. Olaf Church records have associat Kittels' family with the Evjen and Evju names.
The 1905 Canisteo, Dodge County, MN census lists the family under the "Evjen" surname:
Kittel G. Evjen, age 73, born Norway
Kari D., age 76, born Norway
Gullik, age 38, born WI
Andrew, age 28, born MN
This appears to be Kittel Guulekson and his mother, widow Ingeborg Olsdatter, checking out of the church on May 9, 1853. The farm name looks like "Evjen."
Right page, #20:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1351&idx_id=1351&uid=ny&idx_side=-337
Dodge County, MN newspaper, February 20, 1913
Evjen, Carrie
Mrs. Kittel Gullickson Evjen passed peacefully away into the arms of her Maker early Wednesday morning at her home in Canisteo township. The deceased was about 85 years of age and the end came without pain or any apparent discomfort, as she simply passed quietly into a deep sleep, never again to awaken on earth. Mrs. Gullickson was born in Norway and came to this country in 1861, settling in Wisconsin. There she married and later moved to the farm in Canisteo with her husband. Since her husband's death some five years ago, she has made her home with her sons, Gullick and Andrew. She was a woman of exceptional traits, a devout Christian, sympathetic and kind under all circumstances, willing always to lend a helping hand to those in need. The recollections of her good deeds will ever remain fresh in the minds of those whom she befriended. The funeral was held Saturday at West St. Olaf's church, Rev. J. A. Thorson, officiating. A large gathering of neighbors and friends was present to pay tribute to the departed.
February 21, 1913:
Gullickson, Carrie
Mrs. Carrie Gullickson, aged 84 years and seven months, died at the home of her son, Gullik Gullickson, in Canisteo, Wednesday, Feb. 12, and the funeral services were held at the West St. Olaf church Saturday. She is survived by her son Gullik, one adopted son, Andrew Gullickson, and five grandchildren, Clara, George, Ole, Carl and Ingvald Tverberg.

Excellent work from both!
No doubt Kittil came from the Evjen farm in Bø, Telemark.

Could be Kittel? No age given, and I think only the head of the house is listed.
1855 WI census:
Name: Kittel Gullikson
State: WI
County: Dane County
Township: Christiana
