Pam, Gather ALL the information about Magrit (Margarit/etc variants) found in the US. Censuses, marriage record, obituary?, church records where they may have attended, etc.
Voll and Vold are very very common names for Norwegian farms, and sometimes only represent part of the original farm name.
There may be VITAL clues in the information you can gather and present. |

| Good plan, Hopkins. I'd also like to research Iver's daughter-in-law,, Anna Christina Moen (married to Ivers son, Edwin). Her father was Ole Olsen Moen/Moen/Monne. I see on the map above that there are a couple Moen farms in the vicinity of the Jorstad and Nyhagen farms. |

Moen is a Norwegian location and surname. The name derives from specific singular form of the noun "Mo", a flat area, or plain, preferably a dry and sandy meadow.
There are thousands of places named "Moen" in Norway. Almost every farm had an area of land that were called -moen.

In the Norwegian version Anna is listed as 7 and adopted. Looking at the image, correct age is 1, and it looks like relationship reads "adopted". |

Adopted or a gift to the grandparents?
Here is a marriage in Goodhue county in 1883 of Margareta Olson and Otto Pederson:

Some interesting direction or wild goose chase (too early to tell), talks about a family from the farm Kattevold in Vang, Oppland as being the source of both Magrete Olsdatter who married Ivar Nyhagen and Berith Olsdatter who married Erik Eriksen Viken in Minnesota. The two girls are listed as being from this family in the 1865 Norwegian Census.
1865
Here is the baptism of Berith b Dec 10, 1852.
Berith Olsdatter and husband Erik Eriksen Viken seem to be found mostly in Renville County Minnesota
#1
And Margrethe born Oct 2, 1856
#86
Father of both girls is Ole Andersen Kattevold |

| Vang, Oppland is not far from the Jorstad and Nyhagen farms in Norway. Both were part of Valdras, Norway region (according to Wikipedia). |

| Edwin Nyhagen married Anna Christine Moen (born 1892). The family story is that she was born en route to America. I haven't verified that yet but she was baptized in WI. |
