| I couldn't find Inga after Mt. Morris either. Have searched many records and found nothing. Don't know where else to look. Nothing in census reports or deaths. Wonder why she was listed in the census with the family. Will keep looking. |

Reg.Inga Jen Stoler b. ca 1798.
The name Jen Stoler must be Americanized, but from what?
Inga Jensen ? Inga Jensdatter Stolesen?
There were some Stolesen in the 1810 census for Norway.
Was Inga married or had been married in the US? Inga Jensen married to a Stoler?

| I will do some checking on possible Americanized names. And the possibility of marriage. Maybe the courhouse in the Waushara area would have some information. May have to make a trip there and see what I can find. |

Let your fingers do the walkin'
You could also order the microfilm of the Lutheran church records at Mount Morris from ELCA archives and look for a funeral for Inga (or other records on her). www.elca.org
Film rental + one way shipping will be $20 and then you can make your own copies provided your library has a reader / printer. That'd probably be cheaper than the gas, food, lodging for the trip.
(Baptisms from the church are indexed and searchable here:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebMeta.exe?slag=vismeny&fylkenr=21&knr=&aar=&dagens=&katnr=4)
You will also want to study exactly how Inga's name is written in the actual 1860 census. I just had a view myself and found that the cross on the first T also continues through the reputed L (of Stoler). Having seen the crossbars on other T in this schedule, it seems purposeful and so that the L might actually be a T, and her name may actually be "Jen stoter" |

Yes try that, perhaps more info exist in the US.
I believe the Sjur/Sjursen Hundere family in Sogndal goes back to the 1600s.
Hundere in Stedje sub parish, mentioned already in 1567 as Hundĝrre is described in volum 3 in Sogndal Bygdebook, not online.
The farm was described as one of the best farms in Sogndal ca 1890

| Thanks for the ideas. I only live an hour and a half from Mt. Morris. Maybe I'll make it a day trip and check out some other facts while I'm there. I'll check the name Jen stoter. Was at a Lutheran Church in Mt. Morris last fall but was so new at this that I wasn't even sure of what I was looking for. I am also going to the Norwegian Historical Society in Madison, WI on Friday. Maybe I'll find something there. I guess the Sjur/Sjursen Hundere family is quite old. |

Have anybody looked at the original 1860-census, and read what it says about her?
"Inga Jen Stoler" might be a faulty transcript for e.g. "Inga Jensdatter".

| Yes I have looked at the original and it is transcribed correctly as Inga Jen Stoler. Only other thing on the same line as her name is age 62, sex f and place of birth Norway |

Per a request from Jackie, I took another look. I think Jackie has a point. The name could be Stoter or Stoten with a long strike through both t's rather than a t followed by an l.
Does that help any, I don't know. |

Well, if you get to the church records again, if you are interested in pursuing Inga, you might want to look at the faddernes (godparents) in the baptisms of Andrew and Martha's children, as well as those of Andrew's brother's children--she may be listed there.
The 1855 Wisconsin census is searchable at www.familysearch.org but only has heads-of-household names--the whole household is included in total numbers of sex specific counts. Inga could be there under a spouse name or in some other household.
You could also roll the dice and see if there is an Inga Jensdatter aged 2 or 3 in the 1801 Norwegian census in Sogndal or elsewhere in Norway.
Inga could be its own name, but it could also be short for the multiple renderings of Ingeborg.
Inga may also be in the 1850 US census. The transcription most to the point--since she's Norwegian--would be the 1850 Norwegians in US census transcription at the Norwegian digital archives.
Good luck |

Following Jan Peter's lead, the lady could very easily be named Ingeborg Jensdatter ????? (some real farm name turned into Stoler by the Census Taker).
I have not been able to find her in the 1850 Census or in the 1870 Census. That is of course 20 years, in which she could have arrived in America, after the 1850 Census, lived for a few years in Wisconsin and passed away before the 1870 Census leaving only a very small trail. |

| I am also a descendant of Anders Hundere, by his son Sever Severson. I am looking for any information on Sever's wife Mathea Nelson and her family; I assume she is probably from Norway as well. Born 14 Mar 1855, died 16 Jun 1943 in Bottineau Co., North Dakota. She married Sever in 1882, probably in MN or ND. |
