I have a lot of the Archive records for the family, but can't seem to find records for them leaving Norway or arriving in America. any help would be appreciated.

Ole Knudsen Birth Record #31 (Oct 2, 1831)
Marriage Record #5 (June 8, 1856)
Wife Ingeborg Andersdtr Birth Record #41 (July 7, 1832)

Two children born in Norway:
Ingebor Birth Record #43 (Oct 18, 1856)
Helge Biirth Record #39 (Aug 8, 1859)


My great grandmother was born in Dane county Wisconsin on July 5, 1862. She was raised in Sauk County Wisconsin.

The 1900 census indicated Ole & Ingeborg immigated in 1861

Not all were recorded Mary.
Could not find them, emigrants from Sigdal 1839-1920, click on Utvandrelister for Sigdal

God luck.

If they travelled first to Canada before entering the United States and did it before 1865 it will be very difficult to find a record for their arrival. Note this comment at one of the search websites.

There are no comprehensive lists of immigrants arriving in Canada prior to 1865. Until that year, shipping companies were not required by the government to keep their passenger manifests
