Gunder aged 35, wife Edel Torsdatter Toe aged 30 and their five children Anders Gundersen aged 13 , Jorgen Gundersen aged 11 months, Mari Gunnarsdatter aged 11, Eilert Gunnarsdatter aged 7 and Margit Gunnarsdatter aged 5 arrived on the Vesta 1851. I believe they went to Minnesota as I have found other extended family members in Harmony, Minnesota but not my direct family. Happy to exchange information.

Tormod,
I also think the family was from Telemark.
Do you have the emigration record from the church book or from other sources?

Hi.
I found them leaving from Seljord 19.june1851. Together it was also another person from the farm To.
Egilef Stenersdaughter 63 years old. A mother to Gunder or Edel.
They have a daughter named the same. not Eilert, that's a he name, but å specialname like Egelif, unknown for me.
The local Farm and familybook of Seljord has notes of the family.
Regards
Tormod

Great work Tormod.
Here are the emigration records you pointed out from Seljord June 19. 1851, Gunder Jørgensen To #114 - 120
I wonder if Gunnild Tovsdr abowe, #107 was Edel´s sister and Egelif Stenersdr To age 63 was the likely either Gunder or Edel´s mother or Gunnild Tovsdr´s MIL.
Gunder and Edel married Jan.13. 1836, he was from Bjørge under Toe, his father was Jørgen Christophersen. She was from Toe, her father was Thov Andersen #6
Thov Andresen Toe in the 1801 census on farm Toe
His parents was farmer Andres Gunleksen and Ædel Olsdatter, Tow had four brothers and one sister, Margit age 3
Seljord 1815, Gunder Jørgensen and his parents Jørgen Christophersen age 65 and Mari Gunderdr age 38 and 3 siblings living on Bjørge
Seljord 1801 show unmarried farmer Jørgen Christophersen age 51 on Bjørge
Seljord 1782 show Jørgen Christophersen, 2 servants and "Inderste" Thore Towsdatter living on Bjørge
Inderste can be:
A renter or another word for "Kaarkone", perhaps his mother as previous owner of Bjørge.
Seljord 1782, Anders Gunliksen, unmaried, living with his old mother, one brother and 2 servants on Ness yttre

Ægelev was born 1788, christened Aug 24, see right hand side at the bottom here - father Stener Gunnersen and mother Gunnil Larsdatter.
The birth record for Gunders father Jørgen Christophersen is at the bottom of left page here.

Well, I've never heard about Eigelif or what they called it in Telemark.
I got very good help from Aslak Bekhus in Seljord. He got the farmm and familybook from Seljord..
My family came from Buskerud County.
Bye for now!

Hi again.
Well, as someone already has written Gunnar came from the neigbour farm named Bjørge. He was a son to: Jørgen Kristoffersen 1750 - 1823 and Mari Gunnarsdaughter 1775 - 1825.
Edel was from To and was a daughter to Tov Andersen 1786 - 1850 and Egeliev Steinarsdaughter 1788 -.
Tov and Egeleiv got two more daughters:
Gunhild born 1818 and Åste born 1821. They was also married and all 3 families left for US in 1851.
Regards
Tormod |

Tormod, you are right,
Egeleif was a very unusual name.
Likely the priest, Hans Jacob Wille, wrote down what he heard.
Likely Egeleif-Egelev-Egelif-Ægelev was a mix up between male name Eigil, pronunced Æigil also spelled Egil and Egel and Leif also spelled Leiv, Lev and Leuv in dif. church books and census´s from Telemark and Buskerud.
I think to remember if not Egeleif was mentioned in an earler topic some months ago in Norway Heritage.
Ægelev was christened August 1788 in Seljord, parents Stener Gunnersen and Gunnil Larsdr Rødningen, last person Right page
Stener Gunnarsen Røningen and Gunil Larsdr Oppebøn married Dec. 27. 1788.
Best men was Halvor Grave and Halvor Olsen Hogstul, left page #2
