Is there any information about Anton M Syversen B 25 Oct 1898 Nokleby Glemmen, D 15 June 1966
his brother Erling Syversen B 21 Sept 1904 Nokleby, D 30 June 1975
Their mother Augusta Christiansdatter B 19 Jan 1870.
There are 4 other brothers who may have gone to America - Johan Kristian(b Feb 1896) , Sverre (b May 1893), Trygve (b Dec 1901), and Syver(b May 1907) - any information about them is appreciated.
Augusta is the sister of my great grandfather Nils Peter Emil Christiansen who emigrated to Australia in 1876 on ship Herschel arriving Jan 1877 in Adelaide, South Australia

Familysearch.org is also a useful online collection of databases to use, completely free and open to all.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NWJP-HV5
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NWJG-YJD

This one is also interesting - but would he have given the wrong age? or was there someone else coming from Glemmen with so similar a name?
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JNXH-Z26

I by no means made an exhaustive search of those databases - only spending a few minutes. They could prove useful to your search.

the baptismal record for Erling says he was born Sept 20 1904 and that his parents then were living at Lisleby. See #206.

Usually the Norwegian census records are fairly accurate, but I think that Trygve Syversen was born Dec 3,1901 and not Dec 3, 1902. He was baptised on March 2, 1902.

Censuses are notorious for errors - even the 1910 Norwegian census. Any record made by man is subject to possible error.

I'm still fascinated with the children born in Finnmark to parents of identical names as those in Ĝstfold. I've seen LDS volunteers trying to 'index' records that make mistakes in what they are struggling to interpret and extract into database form for their FamilySearch website. I'm going to make some inquiries with my LDS friends and do a little additional research into this strange 'coincidence'? I'll report back IF I learn anything which might be of general interest.
