...in Verdal in North Trøndelag. His confirmation took place October 9, 1870 the same place. His parents were Elling Olson and Anne Sevaldsdaughter. He left to Jämtland in Sweden the autumn 1872. and he left for North America May 3, 1882. Is it possible to find this?

A little hard to read the entry, but the fathers name looks to me like Elling Sevaldsen. And mother Ingeborg Larsdatter. Am I looking at the wrong entry. See last entry

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb20050509020039

Also here in the 1865 Census.

Looking at the original manifest for this person, I would say that the name of the person could be Martinius Ellingsen.but it is difficult to read. He is listed as a laborer and from Sweden.

The only thing I am a bit uncertain about, is the last answer. All the others are absolutely correct!

Anne you need to tell us who exactly you ar looking for. This is the family I have been looking for found in the 1865 Norwegian Census. It has brothers Martin and Gustav Ellingsen. Please tell us if we are looking for a different Martin.

The parents you listed in your first post are found here in 1865 but they do not have a son named Martin

Elling Olsen and Anne Sevaldsdaughter have I mentioned initially as Martinus' parents! He had left in 1865 - that's why he is NOT in the counting With his other Brothers and sisters. I am very sorry I am doing much wrong. I have now checked again what I wrote in my first Message.
