Seeking information about Ole Olsen, Botna, who married Eli Gulliksdatter, Hoyland, in 1825. Later lived at Mysing and Dybing, Heskestad. Said to have left for America in 1854 but I cannot find a record. Would also like to locate Ole's birth information and his parents. Possibly born 6 Jan 1794. Any help would be appreciated.

Norway did not start keeping fairly comprehensive lists of persons emigrating from its various ports until the mid-1860s.

From Helleland, Rogaland I'd expect the most convenient port of departure for this family to have been the city/port of Stavanger. Stavanger's early records of emigration were lost in a fire but at the Digitalarkivet they have a 'rebuilt' database ("Emigranter fra Stavanger 1825-1970") from such sources as could be found.

Your family appears in that substitute database several times (10?) - here are just a few examples -

http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=24&filnamn=STAV&gardpostnr=36239&sokefelt=skjul
http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=26&filnamn=STAV&gardpostnr=101678&sokefelt=skjul

Did you search the parish records of births/baptisms for the years just before and after 1794 for any possible indication of Ole/Ola Olsen?
A source is listed for some of those database entries -
“Hetland skipreide i 450 år”, 2 volumes by Petrus Valand/Olav Heskestad

Kåre, I wonder if you can read the first name in the witness column for the marriage in 13. It might be a relative of Ole?

I read the other witness as being Johnnes Gullickson Hoyland. This could be a brother of Eli. Perhpas this person.

A tough find, Ancestry.com does give the ability to use varius search parameters for baptism in Norway using this data base.

Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927

Using Ole Ols* born 6 Jan 1794 Rogaland turns up no one. Using the same parameters but any day in January turns up three, none born in Helleland or Heskestadt.

Using Ole Ols* born 1794 Rogaland turns up 87 Ole Olsons. Here are the ones associated with either Helleland or Heskestadt.

Name: Ole Olsen
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 24 mar 1792
Baptism Place: Helleland,Rogaland,Norway
Father: Ole Rejersen
Mother: Ingeborg Sonesd

Also in Digitalarkivet middle of left page.

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=15772&idx_id=15772&uid=ny&idx_side=-3

Name: Ole Olsen
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 2 mar 1793
Baptism Place: Heskestad,Rogaland,Norway
Father: Ole Tostensen
Mother: Anna Pedersd

Here is the Digitalarkivet record for the above Ole Olsen. It is interesting to note that the father Ole Tostensen is recorded with the farm name Dybvig.

I found a record online where he is referred to as Ole Olson Eikeli-Botna-Dybing(i Heskestad) døypt 24-3 -1792. Don't know if this helps at all. Thanks for all your hard work so far. His son Gullik is my ancestor.
