Can you point me in the some more directions for additional information about their emigration? Or in searching for local relatives from other siblings. I am very new to this but enjoy searching records on the internet. THANKS!

hasto | Baroline Aagaard in 1865: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61701&gardpostnr=98&personpostnr=933&merk=933#ovre
Her father is a widower in 1865. He emigrates in 1868: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&gardpostnr=1663&merk=1663#ovre
Carl has probably remarried, and his wife emigrates in 1869: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&gardpostnr=4827&merk=4827#ovre
The names and data are very mixed up, but they are so rare that it must be right family.
Brother Johan emigrates 1876. He is then married: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMITROND&gardpostnr=15118&merk=15118#ovre
I can't find the two eldest siblings as emigrants. There is a possible cousin, Axel Marius Aagaard, in 1900 census: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f01701&gardpostnr=239&personpostnr=1327&merk=1327#ovre
Perhaps his wife, Mette, was born Aagaard, and is the eldest sister of Baroline. Perhaps Axel and his wife are cousins.

shirley24 | Marvelous information! We will be in Norway in three weeks and I want to see as many of the small areas where family members were from originally. Thanks for the help. You are very good at this searching!
