I am searching information of the following persons:
Randi Olsdatter (Thorset) (27) married Vebjørn Endresen (Engene) (32) in Hemsedal March 14. 1852 and left for USA April 3. the same year.
Ole Knudson (78) and Margit Olsdatter(70) was Randi's parents. They left from Norway to USA April 3.1861, probably from Bergen.
Very likely that the destination was where their dauther lived.

Is it possible to find out if they reached USA, where they settled, when they died etc.?

Additional information:
Ole Knudson's Grandson, Ole Knutson, emmigrated in 1884 with his wife Anne Olsen. I got lot of help in this forum to trace him, and have found living relatives. (See case: Name of destination Brandom http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6556&SearchTerms=brandom).
He settled in Brandon, Douglas County in Minnesota, maybe where his Grandparents and aunts family settled years before?

Same family in the 1870 US Census. Very likely the family you are looking for.

None, not a baptism but a confirmation. However the family has a lot of records in ELCA file. Here is the baptism for probably Julia born in Wisconsin. Record is for June 10, 1852.

Vebjore Endresen
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Records, 1826-1945
Name: Vebjore Endresen
[Vebjorn Endresen]
Gender: Male
Spouse: Randi O Slikker
Child: Guri Endresen
Church Name: Orfordville Lutheran Church
Church Location: Orfordville, Wisconsin

Slikker might be a misread could very well be Løkken ? And the fadder are difficult to read as well.

But two are Knud Olsen and Kari Olsdatter

There might have been two children born in Wisconsin both given the name Guri and the second born became the Julia found in the 1860 and 1870 Census. Here is the second Guri. born Nov 9, 1853.
Fadder here are Chr Rukka, Thura Rukka Kund Halvorsen, ? Kitteslda. A little hard to read.

Very interesting and many thanks so far. I will look closely at it tomorrow. Any trace of the old parents Ole and Margit that left Norway in 1861?

In regard to the old folks, I notice that there is a Mary Olesen living with the Vebjørn family in the 1870 Census. Is it possible that Ole Knutsen has died and his wife and Randi's mother is using her Norwegian name of Margit Olsdatter Americanized to Mary Olesen?

Probably the baptism record for Randi

#131

Probably the marriage record for Ole Knudsen and Margit Olsdatter.

#25

Based on the marriage record I would estimate that Ole was born in about 1786 and Margit was born about 1790.

Further information on the older folk. In the church book for location New Richland, Le Sueuer Congregation in Waseca County Minnesota there is a list of members (menighetslemmer) that runs several pages long. In that list on page 219 there is a list of members of the church for the years 1863 to 1868. There is a listing for a Ole Knudsen 82 død and Margit Olsdtr. 77.

For the six years there are no marks in the blocks for Ole and there are marks that appear to be dates in the blocks for 1864 and 1865. Those marks are

1864 13/4
1865 9/5 and 26/10
