Hello Pat, I find Støvern Farms in the Sigdal area also in the 1865 Census. I also find them in the Ullensager/Ullensaker area of Akershus in the 1865 Census of Norway. Have you found him in the 1865 Census of Norway? Margit Pat Johnson wrote: > I've just found the obituary for my great-grandfather, Anders Olsen Stovern (Stoveren). We know there were Stovern farms in the Ringerike area of Norway. This article states that he was born in 1822 in Sakendalen. Is this a city in or near Ringerike? He emigrated from Norway to the US in 1867 - how might I learn from where he emigrated, the ship's name and where the ship "landed" in this country? We "lose" him from 1867 until 1872, when my grandfather was born in Minnesota. Any help will be appreciated! > Pat J.
