Something doesn't make sense with these two records I just noticed. We have 2 Erik Ericksons married to 2 Mary Erickson records with a Sam Erickson in the records but multiple different childrens names. Do I have 2 different Erick Ericksons? Both are from Greenfield, Wisconsin.
Nevermind, they are the same person!

I also found this from RootsWeb:
Name: Erek EREKSON
Sex: M
Birth: ABT 1830 in Norway
Immigration: BEF JAN 1865
Note:
Source Information:
1880 Census Place Greenfield, La Crosse, Wisconsin
Family History Library Film 1255432
Erick Erickson had his land patent in LaCrosse County:
ERICKSON ERICK- Sec. 33 Township14 N Range 3 W Total acres 40 Land office code-07 (LaCrosse) Document #16434 Date: 1865/Jan/10

Are there any early records from LaCrosse where we could find any marriage or births?
I wonder if Erick married Mary/Marthe in America or Norway?
Census-1870 shows a son Carl born about 1859 in Wisconsin, so emigration year = 1866 (from census-1900) looks to be off.
I believe he must have emigrated about 1858. Ole is listed as emigrated 1858 in the 1900-census.
The Trytten people from Vik, Sogn&Fjordane are a possibility, but I found that Guttorm and others ended up in Minnesota, not Wisconsin...

It looks like he must have emigrated before 1860. Is it possible to find him in the US 1860-census?
I found these possibilities:
Illinois Kendall Big Grove Erick Erickson m 29 laborer Norway
Wisconsin Chippewa Bloomer Erick Erickson m 29 Norway
Wisconsin Green New Glarus Erac Eracson m 28 Norway
Wisconsin Jefferson Palmyra Ericsen Ericsen m 26 Norway
Wisconsin LaCrosse Jackson Eric Ericson m 33 Norway
Wisconsin Manitowoc Manitowoc Errick Errickson m 33 Norway
Wisconsin Manitowoc Cato Ereck Ereckson m 33 Norway
Wisconsin Racine Waterford Erick Erickson m 28 Norway
Wisconsin Rock Spring Valley Erick Erickson m 25 Norway
Minnesota Fillmore Arendahl Errick Errickson m 32 farmer Norway
But none of them are married to a woman named Mary, and there is no child named Carl either...

Ancestry.com has a file on Wisconsin births from 1820 to 1907 ,but searching it proved fruitless.
However from the 1880 US Census this is likely the Carl Erickson that we found in the 1870 US Census. It again shows him born abt 1860 in Wisconsin.He is now out on his own working on a farm but still in La Crosse County.
This would indicate that Erek Erekson must have emmigrated to America before 1860. If that is true then the Erek Erekson from La Crosse WI cannot be the same as the Erik Erikson born April 30, 1828, son of Erik Olsen and Ani Poulsdatter and married to Anne Danielsdatter with three children in the 1865 Norwegian Census. Also the two families have a completely different list of children.
Name: Carl Erickson
Home in 1880: Burns, La Crosse, Wisconsin
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Birthplace: Wisconsin
Father's birthplace: Nor
Mother's birthplace: Nor
Neighbors: View others on page
Occupation: Laborer
Marital Status: Single
Race: White
Gender: Male

I agree. He (Erik Eriksen born April 30, 1830 in Grue, Hedmark) is a wrong track.

Could someone take a closer look at this family from New Glarus, Green, Wisconsin (1860 US-census):
Erac Eracson m 28 Norway (Erie Erickson)
Canalia Eracson f 24 Norway (Canaliaa Erickson)
Erac Eracson m 2 Wisconsin (Erie Erickson)
Could it be Erek, Mary and Carl?
There is also an Oley Erickson (29) in New Glarus.

Hi,
Don't have access to actual 1860 census schedules but Gerhard Naeseth's transcription of Norwegians in the 1860 census has the same spelling as you have given for this entry, which leads me to suppose that that spelling may indeed be what's there. (Unless of course, it's Gerhard's transcription you got your original data from, in which case, never mind this...)

Yes, that's where I have the spelling. And the ( ) are from ancestry.com.
It would be nice to study the original paper, but I'm not sure if it will add any extra to it. Anyway, I don't expect it to read Erick, Mary and Carl on the original.
But does Oley for instance live in the house next door...?

I can see the original handwritten page of the 1860 US census, Green Co. WI. It reads Eric Erickson, 28 years old, born Norway. The wife's name is confusing but looks something like Canalla?, 26 years old; son Eric 2 years old; and 9 year old Andrew Matteson, born Norway.
No Ole/Oley Erickson (or spelling variation) on that page in 1860. There does appear to be an "Oley Erickson" in town of Jordan, Green Co. WI, 29 years old, born in Norway, married with 2 young sons. |

Browsing the Hurdal marriages did not lead to a marriage in which the bridegroom was a Erick Erickson but did turn up one with Maria Gulbrandsdatter earlier mentioned by Harald. Unfortunately she married an Ulrich Hanson but her place of birth was Gjøding(unreadable)¨

The Hurdal bygdebok contains a section on the Gjøding Præestgård. However there were or are about 13 or so Husmanplass connected to Gjørding and so the coverage of the people that lived there is very brief and I could not find anyone in the list of people that seemed to fit this search.
However the two volume book does have a list of people who travelled to America. This list begins with 1846 and goes beyond 1870. I quit looking past 1870 under the assumption that the Erickson family was already established in Wisconsin. Even in this seemlingly comprehensive list of people who travelled to America there were very few people who would seem to fit this search. There were no Erik Eriksons in the list and very few if any Eriks at all. In 1851 there was a Marte Oline Kristiansdatter age 21 and her daughter Marte Katrine Erikdsdatter 1 year old who travelled to America. The only reason these two stuck out was the name Eriksdatter, meaning that Marte Katrine must have been married to an Erik, however we do not know of any daughter named Marte Katrine associated with the Wisconsin family. In any case I did find her birth and post it here.
