Parsson is not a norwegian name it is a french name as his grandparents were residents of the french court fleeing to denmark during the revolution

Hi,
yes, this must be the same family as listed on the Passenger list for Høvding 1873.

Author: Andresen, Øystein Molstad
Published: Auckland : Harper-Collins Publ., 2001
ISBN: 1-86950-370-8 (h.)
Surname in Norway was Paso, as they were living at a cotter's place named Pasotorpet in Grue, Hedmark |

I am Great grandson ot Torkel Olsen and Kristofer Finsen of Hovding and I think Torkel married Andrea Eriksen daughter of Ole Eriksen so I think he also is great grandfather. I knew Hans Finsen son of Kristofer who was Rangdi's brother. I know a little of the Norsewood scene from my father born there 1900

| I am also interested in the Findsen family as Christopher was my great great grandfather. May be able to help with someone else's research? I am particularly keen on finding out what happened to Berte Marie Findsen listed in the passenger list, and also want to find out what did happen to Kari Sorensen Findsen as I have now heard at least two different stories. |
