While I slept through the night Einar has found the proof that Josephine Magdalene Olsdatter was the legitimate child of Ole Hansen and Sofie Jakobsdtr in Skedsmo. Great find!

With the proper locations in Norway now identified Sherri Long, family and those others interested will have a much easier time to research more of the family history in the same manner we have all done in our own research.

It has been an interesting trip to search out the little details from US records to try to find the hints for these confusing families that could lead to this result. I have enjoyed it. Kåre and Einar make good partners for such an endeavor.

Kåre,

I was editing my earlier post about the children shown for Peter and Sofia at the same time you were adding another post.

I'm of the opinion that the two oldest daughters, Martha and "Lena", could have been Sofia's children before she married Peder Olsen Monserud in Iowa. The persons above asking the questions originally all seem to think the father of 'Josephine Magdalene' (probably Lena) was called Ole Hanson.

There are many more US records available for northeast Iowa and southeast southwest Minnesota and those persons first asking the questions should be real busy doing careful investigation in greater depth. I had a friend (Hjornevik) who was once quite successful in getting records from those midwestern areas in her family research.

Beaver Creek Minnesota is also in Rock County.

Interesting info. Hopkins, Lina (Oline?) cofuses me:
A son Ole named after his fathers father born born on Ocean, we can assume the mother probably died in a child birth.

Source, LDS records;
Sophia Norvold was Sofia Jacobsdatter born i Skedsmo on farm Sørumseie April 22. 1826 to Jacob Hansen Norvold and Marthe Svendsdatter, right page #25
who were the sponsers of Sophia Jacobsdatter
Jacob Hansen born 1804, no records available, could have been of interest to confirm if he was from Norvold, he married Marthe Svendsdatter Sørumseie 1825.
Jacob died in Beaver Creek, Minnesota Feb. 18. 1878, Marte died Jan. 12. 1870 in Alamakee, Iowa.
Sophia died Feb. 25. 1893, Allamakee, Iowa
