Oluf Olsen, f. 1827, emigrert 1868 - hvor dro han?

[gj13965]

Oluf Olsen fra Sorknæs i Aamot, født i 1827, emigrerte til Amerika i 1868. Dette i følge boka "Østerdølenes saga" av K. G. Nilsen.

Dette er samme Oluf Olsen som i 1861 registreres som far til et uekte barn [linje 68]:

I 1865-tellingen bor barnets mor uten barnefaren:

Er det mulig å finne ut hvor i Amerika han bosatte seg?

Exact Birthdate???

Looks to me like Oluf Olsen Sorknaes was born in Elverum.

#13 (Right side)

Source information: Hedmark county, Åmot, Parish register (official) nr. 8 (1862-1875), Migration records 1868, page 348.

Interesting! I don't know his birth date, and even here it's missing, it just says "41 år".

But I'm not sure I fully understand what I see here. The right side shows people emigrating from Åmot to Amerika, right? With Oluf Olsen leaving March 30 th 1968.

While the left side shows people moving to Åmot? I'm partly confused because #12 on the left side actually must be the woman Oluf has 2 (or 3) illegitimate children with. But in that case, shouldn't the children be shown here as well?

Hei

Denne Oluf Olsen er den nærmeste jeg finner av de som er født 1827 i Elverum. Ellers er det et 2-3 andre på samme sted, født rundt dette tidspunktet +/- 1 år. Så da spørs det hvem som er den riktige
