| Need help finding background on Ole Lier who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1900. Family history has it that the family name was orginally Gulbranson and the name Lier came from the district. Ole's father's name was Hartvig and his mother was Marie. Please help me figure out the name change. |

The name and name change are consistent with Norwegian naming practice and the practices of Norwegian immigrants to USA. Gulbrandsen is a patronymic name and Lier is a place name. Both were likely used in Norway. A typical Norwegian immigrant would choose one of the two as a surname in America. A Google search will yield more reading you can do about this.

Well done. So Ole Lier's parents are Hartvig Gulbrandsen Lier and Randine Larsdatter Mangbakken, (applying the names as found in the discussion on the link previously posted.)
Garversvend is an occupation, means tanner. I think.
The birth/baptism record jkmarler posted:
Entry #45
Birth 12 January 1880
Baptism 4 April 1880
Name of child: Ole
Parents: Garversvend (?) Hartvig Gulbrandsen Lier and Randine Larsdatr.
Parents' birthplace: ? (hard to read - Bent_egal.?)
Parents' birth year: 57, 57 ( = 1857)
Baptismal sponsors: list of names (Mathea Gulbrandsdtr? and Mathea Larsen? and Hans Jacobsen? Anders Larsen? Johan Gulbrandsen? Christen Borgersen?
From the researchers on the other link, Hartvig was born 26 December 1857 and died 29 December 1904; Randine died 1908.
