| I would like to know where this place is in relation to Holla parish because this is where Tollef Rollefson/Rolleivson came from to America. Also is he found in the local church book ? I have also seen it spelled Lindom in America. |

Hi,
Lindeheim is prob. a farmname. I found no farms with that name in the 1865-census, but there was several farms called Lindhjem. (heim and hjem means both "home").
I think we need to know more about Tollef to proceed...
- When was Tollef born?
- What year did he emigrate?
- Have you found the ship he went on?
- If he emigrated after 1865; have you found him in the 1865-census? There are 3 persons called Tollef Rollefsen in Saude, Telemark in 1865.

| Tollef Rollefson/Rolleivson was born 1791in Berge TE. He came to America in 1850 the year after his son came in 1849. I don't know on which ship he came. His son was known as Tollef in America, I believe. Alice |

Hi,
Here is as map of Telemark county.
Holla parish is in Nome municipality.
The farm Berge Nordre where Tollev Rollevssønner lived when he was 10 is situated in
what was called Seude parish in 1801, now called Sauherad parish in Sauherad municipality.
In the 1865 census, there are 9 farms called "Lindem" in Saude.
Could one of those be your "Lindeheim"...?

Hi Alice,
one Tellef Rollefsen (58) (line #104) is leaving Kragerø, Telemark on the brig "Alert" on May 16th, 1850.
The brig arrived in New York on June 29th.
Tellef is travelling with his wife Kari Torstensdatter (56) and children Halvor Tellefsen (16) and Gunild Tellefsdatter (15).
Also on the ship is widow Torbjør Rollefsdatter (59). She could be Tollef's sister living on the same farm Berge Nordre in 1801.
Could this be your family?

Hi again, Alice!
This could be Tollef's son Tollef Tollefsen (23) (line #158) leaving Skien, Telemark on May 25th, 1849 on the ship "Claus Thomesen". He arrived in New York after a journey of 78 days...
Is he travelling with Anne Gundersdatter (23)?

Hi,
looks like Tollef Rollefson and Torbjør Rollefsdatter were twins...
They were both christened on Sep 25th, 1791.
This could be Torbjør getting married on June 11th, 1813.
This must be Tollef getting married on June 15th, 1815.
Spouse is Kari TOSTENSDR (21). The name fits with the emigration names on the Brig "Alert"!
Is this the son Tollef Tollefson in the 1880 US Census?
He lives in Amherst, Fillmore county, Minnesota.

Thanks very, very much for the information on the Tollefsons. It has taken me a while to get it in my records - keeping the names straight - I did have an "Ingeborg Annundsdatter
Haugard" born in 1743 as the wife of Rollef Torgrimson . I'm not sure where that came from. You have the info from FamilyHstoryCenter (LDS) and that must be firm.

PS Tollef Tollefson may have been traveling with Anne Gundersdatter but he married Anne Lurine/Gurene Nielsdatter (Niels Brynjuldsen)

born 1838, Tollef was born 1841, Hans was born 1844, Anne born1846. Kari/Carrie was born in Wisconsin in 1850 and Gunhil/Cornelia was born in 1854. Rolleiv Tollefson
