They had five children: Edwin Olson, Henry Olson, Mrs. Henry Dunn, Anna Collins, and Louis Olson I am looking for any information on the children of Halvor and Lottie Olson. These children would be my Great Aunts and Uncles! Thank you

HopkinsThere might be information about the earlier family or members who remained in that part of Norway in the series of books entitled "Trysil-boka" 3+? volumes by Eyvind Lillevold. Emigration records will not have information about children born in the US... you have also posted to US based message boards and forums for the state and county(ies) where they lived?
