Checking a birdh date in Land parish, Oppland?

Legg inn av Donald L. Hendrix » 7. mars 2006 kl. 4.59

I need to clarify the parish of birth of Ingeborg Maria Johnson who in
a church register in Oakland, Nebraska listed her place of birth as Sondre
Land. My records list her birth date as 21 May 1859. On her marriage
certificate, she listed her parents as Emily Olson and John Johnson.

The 1865 Federal Norwegian census lists a family on Frydenlund farm in
Land with names that fit: Johan Johnsen, b. ca. 1830, his wife Emilie
Olsdatter, b. ca. 1833 and one of their daughters as Inger Marie
Johnsdatter, b. ca. 1856 (i.e., listed as age 9 in 1865). Everything about
this entry fits except for the age. I know Emilie was in the US and married
to Jonas Nilsson (of Sweden) in the year 1885, so she must have imigrated
some time before this.

Could someone with acces to Land parish country books please check and
see if the Frydenlund listing could be the Ingeborg Maria for which I am
searching?
