I usually do a pretty good job finding people in the online census database, but this family really has me stumped. I can't figure out what happened to them. I'd appreciate the help if anyone has the time to help me look. Here's what I know. Dal farm, Tysvær, Rogaland: Sjur Knutsen gm Ragbhild Olsdt budde her i 1820-30 ara a) Ole b. 1825 b) Knut b. 1831 c) Guro Kristine b. 1834 d) Brita Serine b. 1837. On 22 JUN 1848, the family reported moving to Time. Listed are Sjur Knudsen, 70; Ragnille Olsdatter, 49; Guri Christine, baptized 1 JUN 1834; and Brithe Serine, baptized 23 JUL 1837. NOTE: Knud stayed behind, but moved to Finnaas in 1853, then emigrated to America about 1861. Not sure what happened to Ole. I realize that Sjur would likely have died before 1865, but Ragnille was much younger. But I can't find either her or the girls in 1865 and I'm not sure how else to figure out the farm they moved to in Time. Thanks so much![:I]
