My biggest brickwall - Researchers on DIS-Norge have tried to solve this mystery with no results. I've found the researchers on this site so helpful I thought maybe someone new might pick up on what others have not been able to find. I (and several people in the U.S.) are trying to find out who Simen Aaseng was in the following birth record of Julia Simensdatter (#20) born 29 Jun 1890. Julia immigrated to the U.S. & married. Julia's daughter just died last year at the age of 95. I would love if someone could help her granddaughter (I'm related) solve this 'history mystery'. Thank you for your time.

Not sure which parish registers you may have looked already. Here is a possible:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01052080000762

Simen Peter Johnson Moen #10
Source information: Hedmark county, Tylldal in Tynset, Parish register copy nr. 4 (1814-1879), Birth and baptism records 1864, page 186-187.

His confirmation #2:

Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9213&idx_id=9213&uid=ny&idx_side=-234


In Julia's baptismal record there are a couple of Aaseng mentions besides Simen's. In the faddernes there are Hans Halvorson Aaseng and Knut A. Aaseng.

This seems to be the best possibility I've seen. I wish I could find him in the 1900 Census. Possibly he emigrated or died? I just can't figure it out. Tynset isn't that far from Tolga tho (birth record say he was from Tolgen).

Someone suggested that as he is listed on the birth record as a "bachelor farmhand" that perhaps he wasn't related to anyone - just living at farm Aaseng.

I think I found both of the other Aasengs listed as witnesses - Hans Halvorsen Aaseng & wife Ingeborg:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01037071000096
Knut A. Aaseng:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01037071000091

Maybe the puzzle will come together yet. Thx!

In Tolga / Tolga there are 3 Simen born and baptized between 1868-1869, no Johanneson:

#13 Simen Thoreson:

Here is the marriage of a Simon Johansen b. 1866 looks like Froen, second from bottom of page:
Source information: Oppland county, Follebu in Østre Gausdal, Parish register (official) nr. 3 (1887-1901), Marriage records 1890-1893, page 53.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1516&idx_id=1516&uid=ny&idx_side=-58]

I'd have to check the dates of departure but it appears this couple with their child left for US also in 1893.

child Torgen correction below to Jørgen #4 born before they married
Source information: Oppland county, Follebu in Østre Gausdal, Parish register (official) nr. 3 (1887-1901), Birth and baptism records 1893, page 11.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1516&idx_id=1516&uid=ny&idx_side=-15

Lines 14,15 right hand page mother and child but Simon is not listed. However in 1892 there were a handful of Johansen Lundeie;s departing at the top of the same page:
Source information: Oppland county, Follebu in Østre Gausdal, Parish register (official) nr. 3 (1887-1901), Emigration records 1887-1893, page 84.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=1516&idx_id=1516&uid=ny&idx_side=-85

Here is Simon's departure in 1893:

A possibility:

Census-1875
The marriage record above says his father is Johan Simensen.

Well, the baptism of Julie lists Simen as Ungkarl (bachelor) Tjenstedreng (roughly means working boy--even at age 22). His residence is Aaseng i Tolgen and birthyear is 1868.

So he could be any Simon Johanneson b 1868 anywhere even Sweden.

Not sure how far apart Aaseng and the farm Julia was born on are, but sociological studies indicate that most "matches:" occur within a radius of about 7 miles--the distance a working man could walk to and from in a day. Of course, if he had a horse, those bets are off.

Perhaps he was busy and that there might be other children he fathered in the two parishes--that could be checked.

Sometimes the inflyttedes and utflyttedes of the parish contain the name of newly arrived and the departing. Mayhaps he married or died in Tolga after 1890 and that could be checked as well.

Interesting marriage record in #6, 1892 above!
The son and daughter of the two biggest Norwegian poets of all time...

Not really, but it was the bride's hometown. Her father Bjørnstjerne Bjørnsons residence named Aulestad is located in Follebu.

Nice looking farm house Jan Peter, it is a little bit more upscale than the one my grandfather left in 1888. But just a lttle bit more upscale.

Julia's daughter said she was born on farm Øilia, Telneset, Norway.
The distance between Telneset & Tolga is 6 miles. Bingo! (You learn something new every day!)

I'm going to invite Julia's granddaughter to monitor this - maybe she'll have some input.
