Just now I double-checked all birth-baptism records in Ulrik/Granvin church book 1855-1865. There is no Ingeborg born to Nils and Synneva. The daughter Brita born to them would be about age 7 in 1865, and she is highly likely the second daughter emigrating with the family. As was mentioned by Jackie and as I proposed earlier, "Ingeborg" is likely a mistake.
One appealing feature of the candidate 1880 census ("Nelson" family) is that daughter Anna has an older sister Bertha who mirrors Brita in age. |

| You might try checking Big Canoe confirmation records to show that Brita is in Iowa, adding to the FAG memorial Jackie posted. |

An obituary was published on Brita Folkedahl on 8 March 1938 in the Dubuque Telegraph Herald pg 5, col2.
It says she died Saturday in Decorah Hospital and that she came to US from Hardanger, Norway where she was born on Oct 5, 1859 with her parents when she was small. She was survived by 3 sisters: Inga of Freeport; Mrs. J.A. Dahl and Mrs. J.E. Strinmoen who lived at Banks, N.D. and brother Lars Bjorgo. She was predeceased by her parents M/ M Nels Folkedahl, brothers Nils and Andrew, sister Sophia and one step-sister Tina Bjorgo. |

Jackie...I am sorry I do have that already as well as some other obituaries so I do not want you to waste efforts here. I am pretty confident on the Bjogo/Folkendahl connections but it is the Nels Nelson Folkedahl and his relations to Synneva and Ingeborg that have stumped me a great deal. |

this shows better the marriage of Nels Folkedahl to Synneva Fredriksdatter on October 17, 1959.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=11750&uid=ny&idx_side=-71
source: Parish Register COPY; Ulvik/Granvin1855-1868 page 48 of marriage records for 1859.
does this make any mention that the two already have a child? as our research shows they had a daughter, Brita, born October 5, 1859 |

No, its only a marriage record. The child's baptism record is elsewhere.
She is #35:
Kildeinformasjon: Hordaland fylke, Granvin i Ulvik, Klokkerbok nr. B 1 (1855-1868), Fødte og døpte 1859, side 22.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=11750&idx_id=11750&uid=ny&idx_side=-22
Her baptism occurred after her parents' marriage, so no illegitimacy is noted. |

| ok..thank you for that Jackie. I am going to take everything that you and Jane have put together and think about this....I think everybody is accounted for...but this family grouping was a challenge as it involved many different spouses...it was what I would call a super Brady Bunch. |
