If that is the 1880 census in MInnesota I don't believe it is the right family as Emma Moen married Amund in 1880 and all our records show she was born in 1857. hmmmmm



HI My name is Lisa, I just got this information from Elena. She is the one found me and I found a predigree chart from my 3rd Great grandfather Amund and Emma (Moen) Larson what I was told by son at the end but It does not matter but we both have the same Grandmother's sister as long as it goes through the same line. so what I found is Emma's dad name is Ole Hansen born 1798 in sonstenes, lom, opplund, Norway. and mother name is Anne Rasmmusdottter... what I found she was born 1802 in sonstenes, lom, opplund, Norway. What I was told Emma was born 1860 Sonstense-ele, Lom, Opplund Norway.

I am glad that Elena found me and saw me on my Ancestory and FB too. so that's how I was like puzzle and finding who she is and found that she was speaking of Amund S. Larson (thats what I have all the information and print out from Ancestory and Family Search and RootWeb Websites).

On Family search, I found Amund (spelled was Ammond Larson) as a other and have brother or cousin name Paul Larson on the 1880 US Census "Household Record", both were a Labor on farrmer and was with familiy member of Martin Hanson (possible Hansen?)

Again on Family Group Record shows

Amund Hansen
born 28, oct 1856 Sonstenes-ele Lom, Oppland, Norway
Die 2 Jan 1940
Married 11 Oct 1883 (?late married after having Mari?)
Parent: Lars Hansen and Marie Olsdotter


Wife
Emma Moen
Born About 1860
Married
Didnt say who parent.

so I hope this helps..



Let me correct this.... my bad.. Amund's parent are Lars Hansen and Marie Olsdotter,

Lars's parent are hans jacobsen and Karie Larsdotter
Marie's parent are Ole Hansen and Anne Rasmmusdotter.

I still cannot find Emma's parent at this moments.

Sorry for the confusion what I did, I didn't read it correctly until now. forgive me.

Hi, nice that you joined in, Lisa, and thanks for sharing all that.

About this, which you wrote: "I still cannot find Emma's parents at this moment."

Elena's private family history told that Emma was born 12 August 1857. On page one of this thread is posted the birth, 12 August 1857, of a daughter Embjør, born to Ole Olsen and Eli Johnsdatter. When Embjør was born, the family's residence is noted as a farm called Rydningen in Lom, Oppland. Then the family moved. In the 1865 census they lived on a farm called Turmoen in Lom. This family emigrated to USA, came to Brown county, Minnesota. They use their farm name instead of Olsen. The name Turmoen got shortened to Moen. Documentation of each step is posted in the thread. Embjør's name got Americanized to Emma.

So Emma Moen's parents are Ole Olsen Moen and Eli Johnsdatter.

Emma married Amund Larsen, whose parents were Lars Hansen and Mari Olsdatter, as you say. Your information fits perfectly with what the forum found out by researching the records. Amund was born on a farm called Sonstenes-eie in Lom, Oppland (I am using the Americanized spelling you used). Amund's birth record is also posted on page one of this thread.

The 1865 Norwegian national census is posted for both Emma and Amund, showing these residence names: Turmoen and Sønstenæstræet (as it is called on that record).

You mentioned Sonstenes-eie as a possible birth place for Emma. So we can be clear, Emma was born on Rydningen in Lom. Amund and Emma were not born on the same farm.

It's fun to have your additions and to see the forum's findings confirmed by your family tree info.

P.S. That suffix eie (Sonstenes-eie) has a meaning. You can ask the forum; some can answer better than I can.

Thank you for clarify and that Elena and I can continue to find their parent as to go backward and we are anxious to learn about them. i also have McLean in that family possible coming from Norway and Ireland, and also Scotland. tooo many.. I found my 3rd great grandfather's parent and now am working on it today. so got to stop for now. will get back to this!

This website explains that "the congregations of St Olaf, Butterfield, Rosendale, Long Lake, and Albion are all combined into one, having the same pastor and the same parsonage." Link:
http://genealogytrails.com/minn/watonwan/churcheshistory.html


Here's that 1880 US census Lisa mentioned as a possible for Amund Larson:
http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=3&filnamn=MINN1880&gardpostnr=23218&merk=23218#ovre

The Paul S. Larson in the record is two years older than that Ammond. There is no brother Paul S. in the 1865 Norway census posted for our Amund Larsen, whereas in 1865 he does have a brother Ole two years older:

1865 in Lom, Oppland, Norway
Residence: Sønstenæstræet
Lars Hansen 42, widower, born in Lom
Hans Larsen 15, born in Lom
Ole Larsen 12, born in Lom
Amund Larsen 10 born in Lom


The 1880 census might or might not be our Amund, but in either case it's unlikely Paul is brother to our Amund.

Maybe a cousin? I know it looks the same age as it is to brother of Ole. Not sure? Do they have cousin that lives by and went together? Thanks

He died 1938 in Idaho, USA. He was never born in USA as I have her writing story here. She shares her story of her life.

She wrote --
Louie, He came to american when he was 18 years old, He landed in Wisconsin worked in the woods, his parents lived in Norway. The only relatives I knew of his was 2 cousins and 2 nephews.

Sure that'll be just fine to keep separate from Amund and Emma Larson..

Wanted to say thank you for found Louie O Larsen that says Uncle but cannot find 2 nephews and 2 cousins. So was his real name in norway as a lars? I am kinda confused with this. sorry. I am trying to get picture of how he came over with different name? hope you can find more tracks of where he is from and his family.. His parent didnt move to USA. they stayed in Norway. Wish my Great Grandma Clara would write his birthdate! and didnt say anything like that, its kinda more complicate. Thanks so much and I will keep my eyes on this. "Looking for Louie O. Larson (Larsen).
