I think you can assume that by the 1880 US Census that Erick and Rachel had died, since I could not find them in the 1880 Census. Knud and Carrie are there but now it appears that their name is spelled Evenson. I did not find either of them in the 1900 US Census, so that might give you a time frame for their deaths.

One small question, I notice you cant get the emigration parish records for Nord-Aurdal parish for the tear 1865 when Erick Levordson and his wife "Rachel" Knutsdatter. (Erick Ericksons parents). Am I missing it or is it not yet scanned?

It looks like the em. records for Eric and Rachel do not exist Lucas, not all were recorded.
It was the old road "Kongeveien" Kings road that was the road between Nord Aurdal and Bergen established in the 1790s and improved so one could use horse and cart in 1861.
It was a long journey and took many days, one had to add extra time, crossing the mountains one could be delayed by bad weather such as snow.
Thats why the ship did not leave Bergen before June 3, the journey was well orginized, they did not travel on random.
Most of the Kings road is restored.
The info is mostly in Norwegian, but I have photos and info to share with you.
Leaving Nord Aurdal in 1865 they passed Fagernes and then a ridge called Tonåsen (6 Miles).
From there crossing the high mountain Filefjell (50 Miles). Three drawings from the early 1800s of the Kings road on Filefjell.
On Filefjell they passed the boundary stone in marmour from 1793.
From there went the road down to Borlaug via "Vindhellaveien" build 1843 by Captain Finne, see both photos here down to Songnefjorden and Lærdalsøyri
From Lærdalsøyri in the inner Sognefjorden to Bergen by boat the distance is at least 150 Miles. Bergen is close and south to Lindås in this map

Cool- Thanks Kåre. I am going to throw that in the family tree so they can see the route they took from Nord-Aurdal to Bergen. Cool Pictures too, it is a beautiful country!

You are welcome Lucas.
It was a long journey before they entered Galathea.
I assume that from when they started in Nord Aurdal it took ab. 10 days or more to reach Bergen.
About 210 of the passengers were from the Valdres area.
The food who was brought from home consisted mainly of dried, salted and smoked fish and meats and Flatbrød that would last for more than 40 days were baced in ovens at the pier.
Its written that on board the emigrant ships it smelled fish and meat.

Hey Guys- Got one more head scratcher here. Above we see that Erik Ericksons parents were Erik Levorsen & Ragnild Knudsdr. Also we see that Erik married Marit Knudsdr.
The head scratcher I have is that according to a family tree. Eriks Parents also had a daughter with the same name as Eriks Wife (Marit Ericksdatter) also born the same year as his wife Marit. Trying to see if there was an error, I check the parish records but could not find Marit (Eriks Sister). I looked in Nord Aurdal, Oppland parish records. The records say that she was born in Nord-Aurdal around Jan 5, 1834. I missed it looking at the records but can anyone else confirm?
Heres a quick link to the parish records.

From a previous comment:
What about this emigration?
Emigration from Vik, Sogn og Fjordane on 12 APR 1865 (right page):
#4 Iver Olsen Trytten 18
#5 Guttorm Olsen Trytten 15
#6 Erik Eriksen Trytten 24
#7 Ole Eriksen Trytten 26
#8 Ole Olsen Trytten 60
#9 Anne Olsdr Trytten 55
They are on the Bark Helena who arrived Quebec on June 14, 1865.
(The passenger list index Ole (77) & Erik (78) with lastname "Olsen", which I believe is wrong...)
#6 Erik Eriksen Trytten was 24 when he came to America in 1865.
The Tryti's from VIK Norway (Tryti farm name) changed to Trytten's when they came to America.
From church records in Norway, Anna Olsdott Honse married Erik Ellendson Holstad (born 1801 died in 1841).
They had a son Erick Holstad Erickson born in 1841.
Hopperstad Stave Church: The church records are called BYGDEBOK. Tryti info is contained in BYGDEBOK for VIK I SOGN Norway VOL. 3 PART II reprinted in 1958.
As Erick Holstad Erickson was born in 1841, the same year his father died, Anna Olsdott Honse remarried Ola Olson (Olsen) Djuvvik Tryti .
When they immigrated on ship Helene (Capt -Pedersen) from Bergen Norway on April 24, 1865 to Quebec, Canada on June 14, 1865, Erik Eriksen was listed as a Trytten, the same surname of his half brothers and sisters.
My records indicated that Erick reverted to the name Erik Eriksen when he arrived in America.
My name is Dean Trytten Dean@AnchorElite.com web site http://www.anchorelite.com/trytten/trytten.html .
Does anyone know what happened to Erik Ericksen in America?
There are a few other Tryti's / Trytten's that came to America that I have also not been a able to track down, see my web site.
Thanks for the help! Dean

Ole Christophersen, Tryten left for America 1869, see here.
In 1884 he obviously had been back to Norway and returned to America, see here.
