jwiborgThis is probably her in census-1865: [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60520&gardpostnr=209&personpostnr=1136&merk=1136#ovre"]click here[/url] Marit Jakobsdatter (23), born in Ringebo parish. Parents are: Jakob Svendsen (61) and Marthe Larsdatter (54) Midtmoen farm, Ringebo parish, Oppland county. 7 brothers to Marit are also living on the farm: Svend 32) Lars (30) Ole (28) Gudbrand (25) Johannes (18) Ole (14) Amund (10) [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=EMIOSLO&gardpostnr=17196&merk=17196#ovre"]This[/url] is most likely her brother Ole emigrating to La Crosse (Wisconsin?) in May 1870.

Heather21498 Thank you very much....!!!![:D] Might I inquire as to how you located all this information? I have been looking on site after site and have come to dead ends every turn. I appreciate your help so much!! In August there is going to be a reunion of people whos Family came from Trysil. My GG Grandmother was married to one and they had no information on her or where she came from. That didn't feel right to me. She is just as important as he to be remebered and I thank you so much for giving her a story![:)] Heather
