Does not look good for Kittil. Birth year was just to far off to be a good lead. |

Hi
I don't see a reason why Kittil should have changed his surname to Olson. His father was Herbrand Svensen. When Kittil was born they lived on the farm Midtstigen in Rollag, but they later moved to Eiker.
Kittil had a sister Turid born 1813 and a sister Jørand born 1824 that I know about.
Kittil's daughter Lina/Lena had children who lived with their father in US in 1888. Lina/Lena was dead by then. I don't know if she had emigrated.
I don't find the confirmation of Olaus Kittilson in Eiker so it might seem like he left before confirmation. The 1920 census said he emigrated 1861 - when he was about 14 years old.

Hi
That is Kittil's son Olaus "signed out" of the church-book in 1860.
13 years old and leaving home alone? I have asked if the persons emigrating at the same time from the same place are relatives, but have not got an answeer so far.
Charles Nelson born 1815 does not seem to be the best candidate for Kittil Herbrandsen. 6 years off in age and Herbrandsen to Nelson?
Kittil's father was Herbrand Svensen so Kittil could have used Swenson or similar?

If he were known as Kittle Herbrandson I think he should have been findable. But so far, no direct evidence.
Olaus Kittleson left in 1860. There was a group of people who left at the same time he did. Later in 1860 US census all 4 are found together in Sauk county, Wisconsin. This is the same county that Olaus' later wife is from. Her father is Kittle Olson and is listed as such in census.
Earlier, I thought it possible that Kittle Herbrandson and Olaus left together, father and son since both their migration dates were in question, but it seems less likely now. Why would the son check out and not the father if they were each going at the same time?
Charles Nelson is only a possible, in the sense, that Olaus and the others maybe came to the same place as they had relatives or acquaintances. It is a very common thing that fathers / husbands go first and other family wife and children come later. Kittle is often a name that becomes Anglicized to Charles and Charles Nelson is the only Norwegian using the name Charles in Sauk County in 1860. He appears not as head of household but to be working and living with another family. There is not a Charles Nelson in the Wisconsin state census in 1865 in Sauk county. That census only gives name to heads of household and if he is working in some other's household his name will not be listed. He would only be part of a number in an age and sex category.
The other thing is the "dirty little secret" of the US Federal censuses 1850, 1860 and 1870 is how they came to be kept. They were handwritten records, which were copied by hand two times (original lodged with county, original copied to copy 1 and copy 1 deposited in state, copy 1 copied to copy 2, copy 2 sent to Washington, very few originals exist, most were destroyed) before the last copy schedules were sent to Washington. The copies in Washington were the ones microfilmed and now mounted online. It has been well noted in the literature about the transmogrification of the data in these censuses. So deviations are to be expected.
The noted migration year date of 1864 in the announcement in the Norwegian newspaper is not found in the parish utflytede from Eiker for that year, nor Lyngdal in Flesberg, nor Rollag. In the 1865 (1 Jan 1866) census for Liv it mentions that "Hendes Mand fraværende i Længere Tid." Is a two year absence a long time?
Olaus was unconfirmed at the age he left in 1860. Was he ever confirmed in the Lutheran church in US? Would be interesting to know. His conversion to Congregationalism would be an interesting thing to find out about. It happened early as he is listed as a preacher in the 1880 census and listed as ordained in 1887 (You become ordained when a parish requests you to become their pastor, at least in the Lutheran church, not sure of Congregational process.) |

Hi
In the newspaper from 18 dec. 1889 it was the heirs of Kittil's wife Live Kirstine who issued an "APB" for Kittil in order to make an inheritance settlement.
The heirs included Olaus.
This is what leads me to think that Olaus did not know where his father was and perhaps never knew. If Olaus knew where his father was in 1860, would it not have been included in the APB as "last known residence in..."?
Wheter two years absence is a long time or not? For a woman struggeling alone to provide for a family in the 1860*s it might have felt so.

Interesting case I must say. Just looking at the 1860 Census of Ole and his pal Hallek in Sauk County. I think that the boys are working on the farms of two brothers. From a Tree in ancestry the two brothers might be
Haavel (Haaver)(Hover) Anderson
1819–1885
BIRTH 8 MARCH 1819 • Norway
DEATH 6 MARCH 1885 • Bear Creek Twp. Sauk Co. Wisconsin
Bjorn (Benjamin) J. Anderson
1829–1903
BIRTH 06 MAY 1829 • Halingdal Valley, Buskerud, Norway
DEATH 25 DEC 1903 • Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington
whose father is
Anders (Andrew) Haavelson Anderson
1790–1871
BIRTH 2 SEP 1790 • Buskerud, næs, Norway
DEATH 2 MAR 1871 • Sauk City, Sauk, Wisconsin, United States
Andrew and wife Julia living with Hoover in 1870
1870
Probably Andrew and Julia and son? in 1860 Census. Now sign of Kittle Herbrandsen unfortunately.
Andrew Hoverson
in the 1860 United States Federal Census
Name: Andrew Hoverson
Age: 69
Birth Year: abt 1791

Looks like Harriet wife of Olaus Kittelsen is also on this page .
Probably these two children, Tree is not exactly got the birth and baptism dates correct

What happened to Kittil Herbrandsen?
