| Looking for Simon, Ole, Christian Evensen (or Everson), about 1870-80. I found Edward on S/S Austrian which landed in Quebec City in 1870--he was my great grandfather and now looking for his brothers. Family from Rakkestad area. |

What year was Edward born and how do you know it is the "Rakkestad area"?

| Hi Edward was born in Fredrikstad 17 Oct 1849 and had 3 brothers, Christian b. 1833, Olde Christian 1837 and Simon and 1 sister Louise Marie. 3 of the brothers emigrated to US . I have Edward in 1870 on ship Austrian but can not find reference to the 3 brothers. SImon is listed as arriving in 1871 according to 1900 US census. The family is listed on 1865 Census in Rakkestad. I also would like information about Louise Marie and Oleana, the mother as to when she died. |

| How disappointing. Looks like I found the wrong Edward arriving in Quebec. I guess I will have to keep looking. Thank you for correct information. Lynn |

I'm quite sure we'll find the correct emigration record for him, but we need to clear up some information first.
Are you sure you have the correct Edward Evensen in Norway? What makes you sure this is the correct person?
Edvard Evensen, born 17 OCT 1849, chr 01 APR 1850, Fredrikstad, Østfold
Parents: Even Christensen & Oleana Olsdatter
Siblings:
Christen Evensen, born 14 SEP 1833, Rakkestad, Østfold
Ole Christian Evensen, born 05 MAR 1837, Rakkestad, Østfold
Lovise Marie Evensdatter, born 1843, Rakkestad, Østfold
Moseløkka farm in Rakkestad, Østfold, census-1865.
Where is your Edward in the US-census of 1880 or 1900?

| Thank you for Simen information and yes that is the correct information for Edvard Evensen. Edward, Simon and Ole ended up in Williams Michigan and Edward and Simon are on the 1900 census. Ole is elusive and difficult to find documentation about him. Edward and Simon are listed in Polk's directory in the 1880s. Edward bought 100 acres of farmland by 1890s. Edward is listed as Everson and that is family name to this day. Several grandchildren of Edward's are still living so have some but limited knowledge of the family history. I will check the emigration databases also. It is my understand the family rented in Rakkestad, the Sandaker farm...do you think that is why Simen is listed as Evensen Sandager? Thank you all for your help! I am learning a great deal about Norway! |

About Ole Christian Evensen, born 05 MAR 1837, Rakkestad, Østfold.
Do you have any traces of him at all in the US? You mentioned he lived in Williams Twp, Bay, Michigan?
His brothers:
Simon Evenson (24) arrived New York on Sep 18th 1871 on the S/S Nevada from the Guion Line.
Edwd Erinson (22) arrived New York on Jul 22nd 1872 on the S/S Wyoming from the Guion Line.
Kristen Evenson (46) arrived New York on Jul 25th 1879 on the S/S Adriatic from the White Star Line.

| Yes, I have very few traces of Ole. One of the elderly grandchildren of Edward remembers Ole as living with Edward and his family as did Simon but Ole does not appear on the Federal US census for some reason. I found Ole's death in Michigan death records and was reported by Edward. Edward referred to him as Ollie on the death certificate. Ole died Kawkawlin, Mi, a township next to Williams, on 12 Dec, 1911. Simon does appear on 1900 census with Edward and family. I will continue to look in Michigan records for traces of elusive Ole C. Edward had 15 children, most lived so there are many Eversons descendents in US! |

Ok.
Both Ole L Eveson (75) and Simon Eveson (65) lives in the household of Edward Eveson (61) in the 1910 census.
It doesn't look like there is an immigration year listed for Ole? He is listed as single, so I assume he was never married.
As you said, Simon lives in Ed's household in 1900, but no Ole there at that time. It looks like it's Ed's parents-in-law that are living in the househould next to them.
