I am trying to track down info on Soren Olson. He was born on October 6, 1818 and died on Jan. 6, 1898. He died in America but I think he was born in Norway. Any info is appreciated. |

A candidate from Ancestry.com
Soren Olsen in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926 Name: Soren Olsen Gender: Male Marriage Date: 31 des 1848 (31 Dec 1848) Marriage Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Spouse: Anne Nielsdr FHL Film Number: 124378
Last record in 1848, right hand page, the farm name connected with Annie is Lystad. Farm connected with Søren is some version of Skaarer.
Link
The age listed here of 22 does not fit the birth data from the death record?
Probably their first daughter
Karen Sorensen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Karen Sorensen Gender: Female Birth Date: 25 jun 1848 Baptism Date: 13 aug 1848 Baptism Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Father: Soren Olsen Mother: Anne Nielsdr FHL Film Number: 124378

Probably Soren and Anne and one child in the 1880 Census

The family living in Nes, Askerhus in the 1865 Census.
Link
Another way to look at the same data
1865
So this is likely the baptism record for Lina born in 1863 and found in the 1880 US Census.
Signe Olava Sorendatter in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Signe Olava Sorendatter Gender: Female Birth Date: 12 feb 1863 Birth Place: Nes, Akersh, Norway Baptism Date: 17 mai 1863 (17 May 1863) Baptism Place: Nes, Akershus, Norway Father: Soren Olsen Mother: Anne Nilsdatter FHL Film Number: 278168 |

This is the baptism record for the sister of Anne Nielsdatter wife of Søren Olsen. Ingeri is found in the marriage record for her sister Anne and Søren. Finding the records for Odalen around 1820 is a little difficult.
Ingri Nilsen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Ingri Nilsen Gender: Female Birth Date: 8 apr 1818 Baptism Date: 26 apr 1818 Baptism Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Father: Niels Andersen Mother: Berte Tostensdr FHL Film Number: 124377
Ingeri can be found living on the Lystad farm in the 1865 Census.
Link
So the parents of Anne Nielsdatter wife of Søren Olsen are also Niels Andersen and Berte Tostensdatter |

The Anne who married Søren Olsen was born May 23, 1820. Parents are Niels Andersen Lystad and Berte Tostensdatter.
#36
Niels and Berte had a daughter born in 1815 also named Anne but she died in 1817 and so they gave this daughter the same name. |

It may be that the ELCA record that lists the parents of Søren Olsen as Ole Gundersen and Karen Gundersen is not correct. Perhaps the parents of Søren are this couple, and the Gundersen name is attached to Karen and not Ole.
Soren Olsen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Soren Olsen Gender: Male Birth Date: 6 okt 1822 (6 Oct 1822) Baptism Date: 13 okt 1822 (13 Oct 1822) Baptism Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Father: Ole Pedersen Mother: Kari Gundersdr FHL Film Number: 124378

More work to be done to figure out who are the true parents of Søren Olsen |

It would appear that Anne Nielsdatter was married twice. The first time to Engebret Jenssen and that Tørkild Ingebritsen is a child from that marriage.
Torkild Ingebretsen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Torkild Ingebretsen Gender: Male Birth Date: 30 jun 1842 Baptism Date: 17 jul 1842 Baptism Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Father: Engebret Jenssen Mother: Anne Nielsdr FHL Film Number: 124378
And that Ole Pedersen had at least one son before he married Anne Nielsdatter. The farm associated with sons of Ole Pedersen was called Skaarildbraaten,
Name: Peder Olsen Gender: Male Birth Date: 19 des 1811 (19 Dec 1811) Baptism Date: 1 jan 1812 Baptism Place: Sor Odal,Hedmark,Norway Father: Ole Pedersen Mother: Anne Svensdr

Are any of these family members related to Halvor Olson? All of them came from Norway, all settled in Wisconsin, and all of them settled in the same area of Wisconsin which is Green Valley.

This is a complicated family and some issues with the family need to be sorted out before we can move on to the relationship with Halvor Olson.
Also it would be very useful if you could answer the question from jkmarler so we know which Halvor Olson you are interested in. |
