Does anyone have information about the emigration or immigration of Hans Hansen Rødalshaugen from Ringebu in Gudbrandsdalen? He must have been born about 1860, as he is listed in the 1865 census as being 5 years old.

I am not sure when he emigrated, but it probably was around 1880 or somewhat later. He left a pregnant girlfriend in Ringebu, and he was supposed to send for her. No one heard from him again, and the girlfriend remained in Ringebu, where she bore a daughter. Thank you for any information!
