I'm going through the Boka Om Gol right now to see if there are any matching families. There were several farms called "Hallen" but none that I have seen (even though it does look like Haldeneie /Holdenet in the baptismal register) called Halden.
I believe the Halden farm in question was/is a subfarm under Hoftun in Gol. Modern spelling is Halli.



Could be. The lone reference I found was in Boka om Gol III (same volume, so same geographical area as Hoftun) under "Nybråten/ Hallen". The last person entry there is "Nils Guttormson Hallen, f 1928, skriv Halden" but no mentions whatsoever of the first names. There is also a Halden in Nes / Flå but likewise none of the first names under question. So basically pulling a zero until Anton's mention of a 3 way name possibility.

So now I wonder what is the nature of the Pederson maiden name found for her son Henning?

Nybråten/ Hallen is the correct one. I saw some place Halden listed as (Nybråten).

Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=7751&idx_id=7751&uid=ny&idx_side=-79

And here is the parents' marriage #15:
Source information: Buskerud county, Gol, Parish register (official) nr. I 2 (1837-1863), Marriage records 1852, page 388-389.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=7751&idx_id=7751&uid=ny&idx_side=-206

This couple is found in the Hemsedalslekthistorie on farm Træe, pg 384:
"Ivar [Trondsen] 1828-74-46 bonde i Træe.

Ivar fekk garden g.m syskinbarnet sit Birgit Hansdtr Brandvøl 1823-79-56: .... Kari [Ivarsdatter]1853 rtA (hadde ei datter Birgit Hansdtr 1879)..."

Some interpretation required. The numbers behind the name is the birth year, followed by the year of death, and age at death. RtA is an abbreviation for reise til Amerika (moved or travelled to America). It goes on to say that all the members of the family either died or moved away. Kari has at least one brother who also came to US named Trond b 1851, teacher in south Aurdal then to US.

#53 Bergit Hansdatter's, b. 29 Oct 1879
Source information: Buskerud county, Hemsedal in Gol, Parish register copy nr. II 5 (1875-1891), Birth and baptism records 1879, page 22.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1091&idx_id=1091&uid=ny&idx_side=-25

Here are Kari and baby Bergit leaving Norway in 1881. Interesting the man below Bergit is Iver Hansen Dokken the same fellow who was faddernes to Bergit and also reported the birth.

I was just looking at the highlighted link for #53 and there is another Bergit #54 born to Trondsen which is a name in a few of the posts here. I still have to assume Petersen held some meaning on Hennings death record as well.

Well, #54 was born to an Ole Trondsen

With the Henning record, it may say Pederson, it may be an unfortunate interpretation of Trondsen written there, or it may be an unfortunate typo in the transcription. Looking at the original record might clear it up.

One of the pertinent things about #53 is the use of the word uægte ie illegitimate (archaic - see "uekte")

A useful dictionary.

This is likely the confirmation record for Keri Iversdatter. See number 4 bottom of left page.

Out of curiosity I can't make out what #54 Faddernes Navn portion says but it looks like it mentions someone passing. There have been 6 posts with different records and both USA & Canadian censuses naming her as Kari Pederson so I can't dismiss this connection, as well as numerous posts using the last name Trondsen and her with with a brother Trond which then leads me to many posts with last name being Iverson which I have seen connected as Iver Trondsen. Somehow the two of these must be connected to Pederson Unless Ole did in fact have children with two different Kari's.

Not to mention the "faddernes: A.R. Swenseid and wife, Karine
A.A. Mehus and wife Margit". And the "Here are Kari and baby Bergit leaving Norway in 1881. Interesting the man below Bergit is Iver Hansen Dokken the same fellow who was faddernes to Bergit and also reported the birth." Connections,

While digging around in the various Family Trees, I came across one for Bertha Rolles.

Bertha Rolles
Birth 29 Oct 1879 in Hollingsdale, Norway
Death 08 Dec 1937 in Scobey, Daniels, MT

Mother is listed as

Kari Iversdatter Thronsen
Birth 2-16-1853 in Gol, Buskerud, Norway
Death 1929 in Saskatchewan, Canada

Baptism date is given as 3 April 1853

Father is given as Ole M Olson Rolles

So someone had already come to the conclusion that Kari Iverdatter Thronsen is the mother of Bertha.

That was actually my first cousin whom after I sent the link to this forum had read it and incorporated that info into her tree. She is a descendant of Bertha Rolles and is quite excited to have the information that you all have found! We both appreciate and thank you all very much for the time and effort that you put into helping us. I think that she will most likely be registering as a member here as well.

The tanglewood here is extensive. You can see that in your cousin's change to her own database as we're working here. Other than people within database posts how many of the 6 actually pertain to a "real" documentary record? The one in Henning's death is the only "real" record I've seen for Pederson. It is a transcribed record not the original. It behooves you to get the original for him along with the other children.

The only "real" record, thus far, for Trondson is the baptismal for daugther Karen Olea. Baptismal records for the rest of the children might reveal answers. So far I haven't seen (in the ELCA databases) any of the other children, but it is known from the censuses that they were each born in North Dakota.

If Ole was truly travelling back and forth between America and Norway, as an adult, what are the documents on that? Never mind what's in someone's database, the actual documents are what I mean. But this may turn out to be a "family tradition" which developed to explain origins of half siblings in the family...

Finding Ole's marriage record[s} might also help, where have you looked?

Going sideways might also reveal things. For instance Kari Iversdatter's brother Trond if found may reveal some family information that could rule her in or out.
