I found a baptism certificate for Anna (Strandemo) Raabolle which listed her dad as Nils Nilsen Raabolle. Your guess was spot on. I’ve seen his dad, Niels Johanne Raabolle, referred to Niels Johannesen – his dad was Johann C. Raabolle. Must be where that comes from.
Went back through some of mom’s and Uncle Ron’s albums and found this old Jarstad family photo, taken the same day as that other group photo I linked previously. This ‘new’ picture features great-great-grandma Anna (Tuve) Jarstad and all eight of her kids. Standing the back row: Joseph, Bertina (Larson), John, Ingeborg (Raabolle) and Tollef Sitting in front: Anna (Strandemo – Knute’s Anna), Anna (Tuve) Jarstad, Caroline and Albert This is the only picture I’ve seen of Albert. I found a newspaper clipping of his obituary that states: “At an early age he was stricken with spinal meningheitis from which he suffered all his life.” Mom said she remembers him and says, that as kids, they thought he was “different” and “scary.”
I also ran across a note from Laurence Turner (grandson of Bertina Jarstad) to my mom, that theorized: “Great Grandfather Lars Jarstad may have changed his name when he came to America. His name may have been Lars Alfsen in Norway. In Norway Lars Alfsen married Anna Johnsdatter Tuve in the same area Vestre Slidre Valders same year & date.” A previous post by eibache seems to bare that out.

Based on Norwegian naming patterns he would have been named after his father. So the N would liklely stand for Nielson or Nilson, since his father first name was Niels.
