Hmm. I should have been more suspicious since there was no first name. It was a stillborn baby boy so never named. '

So still have question about Ole Kjersten and Ingeborg Kjersten if they were connected to the rest of them as they arrived in Canada.

Did you mean Ole and his mother Gertrud Iversdatter? I think you already established that Ingeborg is a daughter of Tosten and Randi.on page 2.

When Ingeborg was born Tosten was listed as "fattiglem." So how did he get the money to come to US 1 year later.

Here is a candidate for Ole born in 1866.

Ole Evensen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Ole Evensen
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 7 apr 1866
Baptism Date: 24 jun 1866
Baptism Place: Vang, Oppland, Norway
Father: Even Johannessen
Mother: Gjertru Iversdatter
FHL Film Number: 125646
Reference ID: b6 p123

If I read the original record corectly he was born out of wedlock. See number 41

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9000&idx_id=9000&uid=ny&idx_side=-10

No obvious connecton to the others bearing the Kjersted name in the arrival records.

In the baptism record for Ole (link above), I noticed a Anne Iversdatter as one of the witnesses. Here from the 1865 Census is an Anne Iversdatter on the Kjersteen farm. I do not see a Gjertrude listed but this could very likely be her family.

1865 Census

I noticed from the 1865 Census posted on Tøsten Tøstensen that he was also born in Vangs Prgj, the same as Iver Thorstensen.. Is that the connection?

Maybe the baptism record for Tøsten Tøstensen

Name: Tosten Tostsensen
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 19 jan 1822
Baptism Date: 12 feb 1822
Baptism Place: Vang, Oppland, Norway
Father: Tosten Iversen
Mother: Kari Olsdatter
FHL Film Number: 125646
Reference ID: b6 p56

See number 3 left hand page

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9395&idx_id=9395&uid=ny&idx_side=-41

And here is his brother Iver born Jan 26, 1812. See middle of right hand page

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9395&idx_id=9395&uid=ny&idx_side=-18

Thanks to Jackie for getting me back on the right track. So it is likely that Gertrude Iversdatter is a cousin of Tøsten Tøstensen.
