Tollef Olsen

[gj10647]

According to family history Tollef Olsen was born in Telemark in 1816 and emigrated to USA in 1844. He settled in Wisconsin and was married to Ingeborg Mikkelsdatter born 1826 from Voss. I cannot find any information about her in Voss and cannot find them in the books listing early emigrants (1825-1850) from Norway.

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
