You'll find that information here - ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/roots-l/genealog/genealog.uscensus At the FHC or in the online LDS catalog I suggest you search first under the State name, find the listing for the appropriate census year and then scroll through the film listing until you come to the name of the county you seek, that should tell you the film(s) you will need.. If you are not really sure of which county - then look for a soundex index for the state first. If available, they can save you alot of time.

I don't have the phone book he would need, but when he arrives in Norway, he can either call 180 (directory assistance) or go to Ringebu and ask around.

Hei! Christensa Torbjørnsdatter is a sister of my great grandfather, which moved from Luster to Rossfjordstraumen, Lenvik parish. I have a lot of information about this people and you can find them on my site http://home.online.no/~afivelan/Familie.htm One of their sons, Johannes Pedersen, moved to Kvæfjord, but I have no more information about that.

This must be Lars Pederson Teigen that Dag Hoelseth pointed out. He was born at Teigen under Sandvik farm in Luster parish (Gaupne subparish) 1848.09.08. He was the 6th child (of 10) of Peder Pederson Teigen (1809-1885) from Aurland parish and Christenca Torbjørnsdatter Eikum (1813-1883) from Hafslo. Lars emigrated to Crawford Co. in 1882 and married there 1887.06.01 with Oline Olsdatter. Lars (called Louis) and Oline (called Olena) farmed at Rush Creek, Freeman township, Crawford Co. and got 11 children: Elmer, Peter, Lottie, Christina, John, Steen, Anna, Rudolph, Alfred, Oscar, and Hannah. Quite a lot more details are found in the bygdebook for Luster which is my source. If you want to find out where Teigen is, you have to find Marifjøra in Luster (Lyster) on a map of Western Norway. Teigen is about 2 km along the coast southeast of Marifjøra. The g-g-grandmother of my wife emigrated to Crawford in 1874. She later on moved to Sterling in Vernon, but some of her children settled in Freeman. Knut Bryn, Molde

Genealogy.com has webpage titled "Every Ten Years". It gives the information collects for federal census from 1790 to 1920. It also gives the headers from those census which are sometimes very hard to read.

Does anyone know the specific information (data) included on the 1900 and 1910 federal census records? Are they close to the same questions? I'm researching my great grandparents in N.Y., pretty certain of the county they resided in at that time. Would I need to research the county records at the FHC for those records? Sharon

I am looking for a Tom Jebsen who went to school as an exchage student in Bakersfield CA. Tom would be in his early 40s and originally gave his address as Svanedamsun 35, 4620 Vagsbycd Norway. I lost track of him when he went into the Army. I drove him from California to the New York to catch his ship home. Would love to get intouch again. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. If you have any ideas on how I can contact my old freind it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andy Ratermann

Would this be available online, or is this normally available at a library? I now live in Colorado and hope that I could access this locally. At http://www.nara.gov/publications/microfilm/census/1900/1900pt6.txt, I found: WISCONSIN T1079 - 82. J-525 Peter--J-656 It looks as if the microfilm is not organized strictly by last name??

Hi there, just a few corrections ;-). "Stadsvegten" has nothing to do with state or national in this context; here "stad" has the meaning "city, town", equal to the use of the word in e.g. Sweden. "Stadsvegten" - "the town/city weight" were the place where goods taken in to the city for sale were valued and taxed. Nytorvet is the New Market square. Veier - the man who assessed the goods. I know there are more proper translations of "Stadsvegten" and "veier", but this should give you an idea. I haven't my relevant books at hand, sorry. It would, however, be interesting to know which city or town census the information comes from.

Hello, Since you state that their last name is Peterson and you know the county in Wisconsin that they live in, have you tried to locate them in the 1900 Federal Census? If you're able to find them in there, you can normally get their birth month and year, number of years married and when they came to America. I've had great success in gathering info that way.
