Thanks, yes I have this information which makes me think we should be concentrating on Bo Telemark in search for Johanes .

I also believe that we perhaps should perhaps stay in Bø and look into the church books there.

Kleven was a sub farm under Søndre (Southern) Askilt. Kleven was also spelled Kleiva and means a Steep hill and is located to the west side of the Hørte river.
No names of the family mentioned on the farm in "Bø-soga"

Trying to find out more about the family on Rødklev "The red steep hill"

Possibly him in 1801: There are a couple of things I like about this ...the family name Kittilsen where Jorgen Halvorsen is working . I'm pretty sure that Johane's daughter Ingeborg married a Kittilsen in America ....likely strong ties between these two families. ....supports the interest in this being Johane's family. Also ....Halvor Kittilsen wife and Halvor Jorgensen's wife are both Jensdatter ....possibly sisters ??

And confirmed that Johane's daughter Ingeborg did marry an Ole Kittilson in Illinois.

The Bygdebok from Bø "Bø-soga" 3 volumes are online, but not updated, they were published 1986, long before the records were online.

Bygdebok from Seljord, 3 volumes from 1942-43 by Tov Flatin are not online. He was born 1878, so he or somone he knew had knowledge to many of those he wrote about. .

The Digitsed Real Estate Registers from Telemark are not online, they will be.
The Probate registers for Telemark are online but not categorized by municipalities.

Em. records if you know where to look.

One chance is to come across something on internet or somone out there find this topic and has the answer.

I think I quoted the part about Johannes Halvorson in the other Gunnild topic. The book does not give his age as 56. It says ".... Johannes Halvorsen Kleven b. 1789? He was buried at Jefferson Prairie, Oct. 27, 1849...." He is listed as married to Gunnild Nilsdatter Kleven. She came on Tecumseh which landed in New York on 17 Aug 1843 coming from Havre.

I think the 56 is probably an attempt to make the records here match the records in Norway, i.e. born 1792/1793.

So get the actual probate record and see if any of the other children are mentioned. That would be one possible avenue to connect them.

We haven't talked about an Ole Halvorson it might benefit you to find out about him. Perhaps he was a son from Halvor's first marriage?

The first son of Johannes & Gunnild was named Halvor. The first girl was named Ingeborg. Circumstantial but it points a way.

Get all the faddernes for all of Johannes' and Gunnild's children. Then look at the potential siblings Anne, Jørgen, Birgit, Gunnild and Ole and see if Johannes & Gunnild ever stood faddernes to their kids.

If you search the NHDC Census for 1801 using Joh* Hal* born 1885 to 1895 for Telemark you might be able to narrow the number of potential candidates. Doing that gives ten men. Two born in Sauerherad and one in Bø. ¨

http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/folketellinger_avansert_e.aspx

Candidaate One, There is one born in Sauerherad in 1793 father is Halvor Olsen and mother is Liv Johannesdatter. See number 81

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=7924&idx_id=7924&uid=ny&idx_side=-120

This one is of course the one you first thought was the right person but was convinced by the Bygdebok that he was not the right person.


Candidate Two. There is one born in Sauerherad in 1792 (actually 1791) father is Halvor Johannesen and mother is Gunil Ingbretsdatter. See second from bottom right hand page.

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=7924&idx_id=7924&uid=ny&idx_side=-108

He was married in 1814 to Ingeborg Kittlesdatter. See 2nd from bottom right hand page. Based on the marriage, etc. not likely your man either.

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=7924&idx_id=7924&uid=ny&idx_side=-196

And found in the 1865 Census.

http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0822&kenr=010&bnr=0071&lnr=000

All connected to the farm Evje or Evie.


Candidate Three is the one Jacke found from Østerlie Midgaarden, father Halvor Jørgensen and mother Ingebor Jensdatter.

In the 1801 Census his birth year is given as 1788, but you found him in 1787 in Seljord.

The tough part will be to eliminate two out of the three. Although you know that Candidate One is not the correct person from the Bygdebok record and you know that your Johannes married Gunhild so Candidate Two above is probably not your man either leaving you with one likely candidate.

The Probate register are organized
"Categorized" Probate records for Telemark, Bø starts 1838, almost at bottom is "Øvre Telemark" that to my knowledge includes Sauherad, Seljord and Bø link
