Hi

I don't find any new information about her father in her two marriages.
Neither do I find anything in the "dødsfallprotokoll" when she dies 1881:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/sk10081211151028

She died in Norway so her husband and children must have emigrated later.

1819–1885
BIRTH 8 MARCH 1819 • Norway[/red]8 April 1819 / bapt 25 April 1819 b on Trælverkplads (in Gol)

BIRTH 2 SEP 1790 • Buskerud, næs, Norway
DEATH 2 MAR 1871 • Sauk City, Sauk, Wisconsin, United States

Andrew and wife Julia living with Hoover in 1870

1870

Probably Andrew and Julia and son? in 1860 Census. Now sign of Kittle Herbrandsen unfortunately.

Looks like Harriet wife of Olaus Kittelsen is also on this page .

Probably these two children, Tree is not exactly got the birth and baptism dates correct

Name: Halvor Andersen

Baptism Date: 25 apr 1819

Party included parents Anders Haavelon Hovda, Guri Hansdatter, children Haavel, Hans, Bjørn, Ingebjørg, Margit; daughter Barbo thought to have come to US in 1869.

Interesting theory but I think I'll stick with my earlier:

Hallek Halverson Male 18 White 1842 Norway 135 (Hellik Halvorsen Solbergsater b 1842)
Ellen Anderson Female 80 White 1780 Norway 135
Benj Allerson Male 47 White 1813 Norway 135 (Maybe the Bjørn Olson Solbergsater age46 who also leaves Eiker in 1860)
Sarah Allerson Female 55 White 1805 Norway 135 (Bjorn Olson's wife Sønaug Svendsdatter Solbergsater age 52)
Ole Kittleson Male 13 White 1847 Norway 135 (Olaus Kittleson Beslaugeie b 1847)

Hi

Oh dear...
Yes, I guess it might be a possibility that he is "hiding" in Norway. I don't know why the family seems sure he emigrated to America.
I'll go through your list and check them out after finding their name among those baptised in Rollag. If someone is left, I'll try to figure out who it might be.

I have tried to search for him in Sweden, but no luck there either.
I suppose Canada also might be a possible place to look for him.

So what crime had been committed that the authorities were looking for Kittle ? Was he a "usual suspect?"

On the page with Hellik Halvorson and Olaus Kittleson leaving from Eiker is another named Paul Halvorsen Solbergsater. He and Hellick are brothers, sons of Halvor Paulson and Marit Holgesdatter:

Are there any grandchildren in Norway that Kittil might have stood faddernes to before he disappeared? If so, it might be possible to limit the time for his window for leaving. As it stands we have these dates:

1864 reported someone sighted him in Norway
1866 about his wife Live it is noted that her husband has been gone a long time and she is still listed as gift or married
1869 in Live's estate papers in 1889 it is noted that Kittil has been absent for about 20 years
1875 Live's marital status is marked as "f" which might mean fraskilt or divorced
1889 in the newspaper announcement seeking his whereabouts is the remark he left from Ullstadeie in Lyngdal in Flesberg about 1864.

If he was in trouble with the law and it was as late as or after 1866 that he actually left for America, he might have assumed an identity to escape whatever the trouble was. So far no appropriately aged Kittil Herbrandson has been found in US nor Norway nor Canada.

Hi

There was a house that burned in 1864 and Kittil was seen in or near the house. Enough to make the sheriff interested and he wanted to interrogate Kittil as I understood it.
I don't know when in 1864 he was seen, but Kittil was in Eiker in 1864.

He is not found among the sponsors of grandchildren.

Kittil worked as a carpenter.in Norway. They probably also had a few domestic animals.

I found the probate of his son who died 1871, but nothing mentioned about his parents there.
