I was under the impression that my great-grandfather, Torchel Gotskalksen Heggen (26 Dec 1826-21 April 1908) -- son of Gotskalk Olsen Heggen (21 Feb 1796-1876) and Anna Salmonsdatter (1795-1877) -- immigrated to America (Kendall/Grundy Counties, Illinois) in 1854 from Ølen, Hordaland . . . by himself. I have his siblings as Ingeborg (1826-?), Gotskalk (6 June 1835–13 May 1890), Ingegborg (1838-?) and Synneva (1853-?), none of whom immigrated.
But I've recently learned that Torchel may have immigrated in 1855 with two brothers, Lars Heggen, and Solamon Heggen(1823-1887) married to Sigrid Olsen (1824-?); and a cousin, Ole Olsen Heggen, settling first in Lisbon, Kendall County, Illinois, then in Huxley, Story County, Iowa.
Can anyone help me confirm that these individuals were related to Torchel and that they immigrated together?
Tusen Takk,

Perhaps the book, "Polk County Iowa naturalizations, declarations of intent, May 1848 - Oct 1889" can help you solve the problem. From Ancestry.com you can find the following record. that seems to indicate that Torchel G Heggen immigrated in 1860.

The same book has a record for Salv Heggen twho could be your Salomn Heggen hat indicates that he did immigrate in 1855.

Here is Lars Gotskalksen leaving #50 & Ole Olsen Heggen #47 + Ole's wife #48:
Kildeinformasjon: Hordaland fylke, Fjelberg, Ministerialbok nr. A 7 (1851-1867), Innflyttede 1855, Utflyttede 1854, side 345.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8273&idx_id=8273&uid=ny&idx_side=-270
Lars' birthdate is noted and so he could be looked up in the baptisms to see if his parents are the same as your Torkel.
Torkel 's leaving is #23 :
Kildeinformasjon: Hordaland fylke, Fjelberg, Ministerialbok nr. A 7 (1851-1867), Utflyttede 1854, Innflyttede 1854, side 344.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8273&idx_id=8273&uid=ny&idx_side=-269
Considering that Gotskalk's father is Ole and that Anna's father is Salmon it is in the realm of possibility that they might have named sons Salmon /Solamon and Ole and that there could be children you are unaware of because of the largish gaps between the years of birth for the siblings you do know. |

If this is your Salomon Heggen in the 1870 US Census, it shows that they must have moved to America some time between 1853 when Ole was born in Norway and 1855 when Anne was born in Iowa.
