Need help locating the birth place of Karl (Carl) Aamodt (Amodt)
He married Ronnaug Liumsberget in NORWAY. Ronnaug came from Lillehammer.
I think Karl come from West Gaustal NORWAY ?
Any information would be greatly appreciative.

When was he born?

Is this the same couple as seen in the 1910 US census?
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MLGJ-JCT

Of interest may be the two other families using the surname Aamodt on the same page.

IF the couple offered in the US 1910 census is a match then they are living on a residence called "Aamothaugen" in Østre Gausdal, Oppland, Norway for the Norwegian 1900 census. Notice the wife is Rønnaug and their first daughter, Marie, is included there.

This guy fits the US records and maybe the Census record from Hopkins

Carl Christiansen Aamodthaugen
Birth Year 10-18 1879

Father is Christian Johansen
Mother is Thonetta Tostensdatter
Birth place: Gausdal, Grythe
Residence: Gausdal, Aamodthaugen

Confirmation Record

Baptism Record is number 56

#56

And Karl Kristiansen Aamothaugen married a Ronnaug Mathiasdatter Liumsberget in Lillehammer on June 26, 1900.

#30

Going backwards in time. Christian Johansen married Thonetta Tostensdatter on June 25, 1868.

His father was Johan Olsen and her father was Torsten Johansen.

#8

Based on the marriage record, I would say that Christian was born Dec 16, 1844. Father is Johan Olsen and mother is Anne Halvorsdatter. Farm seems to be Frøisen

#3

Johan Olsen married Anne Halvorsdatter on March 23, 1835.
His father is Ole Pedersen (or Peersen) and her father is Halvor Jensen.

#19

Based on the marriage record I would say that this is the baptism record for Johan Olsen. Father is Ole Peersen Grythe and mother is Mari Christophersdatter.

Last record for 1812 left page

Anne Halvorsdatter was born Aug 2, 1813. Father is Halvor Jensen and mother is Kari Larsdatter. Last record right page

There is only one Halvor Jensen in the 1801 Census for Gausdal. Father is Jens Olsen and mother is Anne Halvorsdatter

1801

Going back and looking more closely at the Census Record posted by Hopkins I would think that the parents of Karl are the two people posted above him. Kristian and Tonetta Aamothauge.

Based on the marriage record I would think that this is the baptism record for Rønnaug.

Born May 2, 1878, Follebu, Guasdal

Parents are

Mathias Thorstensen and Ottine Hansdatter Liumsberget

Mathias married Ottine on June 19, 1872. Father of Ottine is Hans Gundersen.

#13

Mathias and Ottine in the 1875 Census

1875

Likely the parents of Mathias above him Thorstein Nilssen and Martha Thomasdatter.

Karl and Rønnaug listed with 6 month old son Kristian leaving from Oslo/Kristiania on or about 6 Sept 1901 -
http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=1&filnamn=emikra1&gardpostnr=138701&sokefelt=skjul

Stating they are heading for New York. You should probably be able to find them in Ellis Island arrivals.

A likely candidate for Hans Gundersen was born August 16, 1810. Father was Gunder Olsen Poulsrud and mother was Elie Eriksdatter Sejelstad Ejer. Born out of wedlock.

Looks like the same pair had a second child, Ammund in 1813. Appears as if Gunder Olsen was a married man (probably a widower based on the first child Hans ) but Elie Erichsdatter was not.

Ammund

A little cluttered up above so I moved this section down and gave it its own section.

Here is a Mari Christophersdatter on Grythe in the 1801 Census. Father is Christopher Joensen and mother is Rønnoug Arnesdatter.

1801

Ole Pedersen married Mari Christophersdatter Sveen in 1813. No parents are listed in the marriage record.

Records I have of our Carl Aamodt he was born 18 October 1879 in Ostre Gaustal, Oppland, Norway. He was Naturalized 20 August 1907 in State of North Dakota county of McHenery
Question: Where is Ostre?
The child (son) Kristian where was he born?
Child Marie where was she born, when?
Was Carl Aamodt the father of Marie ?
Name of ship Carl and Ronnaug Aamodt came to America on?

Many thanks for all the information you have researched for me, God Bless

The daughter Marie is noted as "son's wife's daughter" in the 1900 census. She is an illegitimate child of her mother and another man. Here is her birth/ baptism # 10 bottom half:
SAH, Østre Gausdal prestekontor, Parish register (copy) no. 3, 1894-1915, p. 9
Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20060727010159

It appears that Marie's aunt Nora (mother's sister) is on the same page of births / baptisms at #11.

Matthias and Ottine and family in 1900 census:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01037086000065

Apparently, Matthias dies between 1900 and 1910 as here is Ottine and a different husband and Nora in 1910:

Østre Gausdal was/is the name of the district in Oppland where they were from. Two words in the name - one district. Like saying South Dakota - two words - one state. You can find the definition of Østre at this website.
https://otjoerge.wordpress.com/norwegian-american-dictionary/ae-o-a-0-9/#0
O and Ø are NOT the same alphabetic character - be careful.

You will probably find the birth/baptism records for Marie and Kristian in the Østre Gausdal parish records which are available online for free use and those records will list the names of the father and the mother.
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb/browse
Choose Oppland in where it expects entry for "County" and Østre Gausdal in the entry for "Parish". Then click on Search lower in that same column. It will present you with a list of the parish books for that district which you can choose to browse through.
Study about how to understand and use Norwegian parish records - https://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/na20.html

I already gave you a link to the record of their leaving Oslo/Kristiania on a ship which is named on that record. That ship would have taken them as far as England where they would have boarded a trans-Atlantic vessel to reach their intended American port of entry, New York. Check the Ellis Island records to learn the name of the ship they actually arrived on. That change of vessels in completely normal and is discussed in several articles on THIS website you must have missed.
