I believe the above person was born 16 Sep 1875 in Aust-Agder, Sondeled Parish Norway to Thor Alvsen Lovdahl and Anne Andrea Torjusdatter. Not sure if I have spelled Ingvald's name correctly. I think he came to America in 1881 but I can't find the record for him doing so. Perhaps I have not been looking in the correct place. He moved to to Wisconsin and lived in Milwaukee. Below is the record I found for his birth.
Source information: Aust-Agder county, Søndeled, Parish register (official) nr. A 3 (1861-1879), Birth and baptism records 1875, page 129.
I would appreciate anything that anyone could tell me about how to find the record of him coming to America. |

| I went to the same place where I found the birth and looked for emigration/immigration records for 1881. I don't know how to tell what port they may have left from. |

| Just found a census report from Wisconsin that says he came to America in 1884. I will go back to the website and take another look using the new year. |

| Thank you very much for the help. I will keep trying to find the information on my own but it is so nice to know that there is a place to go to when all else fails. |

Do that, it is always exiting to look the records on your own.
Some of the records from Søndeled can be a bit challenging.
Good luck.
