looking for information on Engebret CARLSON

I am somewhat new to geneology research, and I'm not sure where to begin, so I'm hoping someone here might help me. I am looking for information on the family/parentage of: Engebret CARLSON Born April 17 1870 in Tolgen, Nordre Osterdalin, Norway. Came to America about 1892. Married to Inger Kristin Nyland in 1912. Eventually settled in Saskatchewan, Canada in about 1918. Died 1934 Saskatchewan, Canada. I do not have a lot of information about his family, other than the following note written on some old family papers. It reads: "Ingebret Carlson (Braten) - Ingebret Karlsen Kotmo f.14.4.1870 pa Kotmoen Bopel Erlien. Konfirmert 1886. Utvandret til Amerika 1892. Foreldre: Karl Enersen, svensk arbeider. Gisken Tollefsdtr." I would be very happy for any assistance.
