Halsten Olsen - 1752

[gj04380]

I am trying to find the birth of Halsten Olsen who was born perhaps in Rendalen around 1752. He marries in Hurdal, Akershus in 1788 and then goes by the name Halstein Olsen Halsteinsrud. His marriage record only says he is from Østerdalen. I recently had my DNA tested and match someone from Rendalen and someone from Tolga. I am hoping that Halsten Olsen came from one of these towns. He may have also a brother Johannes Olsen.

Hilsen,
Robert
