They should be on the 1880 USA census. In Minnesota? Did they stay in Minnesota? Here's the best match I can find for Aslak Simensen Haug on the 1865 census, his mother's name is Thora, so that's a very good indicator, since grandchildren were often named after their grandparents. http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0540&kenr=010&bnr=0064&lnr=000 Data on domicile: Census year: 1865 Municipality: Sør-Aurdal Municipality number: 0540 Name of domicile: Haug øvre Number of persons in this domicile: 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name Family status Marital status Occupation Birth year Place of birth Ethnicity Simon Knudsen Husfader g Gaardbr Selveier 1830 S.

Here is the online scanned church record for Sør Aurdal Bruflat parish, (in Etnedal) for the daughter of Aslak Simonsen Houg (Haug) and wife Kari Olsdatter. Tora (Thora) is on line 33. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20060727080311.jpg&siz=full Born July 26, baptised on Aug. 22, of 1875. The sponsors for the baptism are: Karen Knudsdatter Hestekind, Mathea Olsdatter "Ditto" which I think means Hestekind again, Kristian Olsen "Ditto" (Hestekind), Dortea Simonsdatter Houg, and Elling Olsen ??Madslangrud?? It indicates that she was born legitimate, so they parents were married at sometime before this. They were young parents. I think this is Kari Olsdatter Hestekind's family on the census of 1865. It includes names of family members who were listed as sponsors on the daughter Tora/Thora's baptism, including her mother, Karen Knudsdatter Hestekind, and her sister Mathea (Mattea) and brother Kristian. http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste_e.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0540&kenr=011&bnr=0066&lnr=000 Data on domicile: Census year: 1865 Municipality: Sør-Aurdal Municipality number: 0540 Name of domicile: Øvre Hestekind, BreiensstøllenNumber of persons in this domicile: 10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name Family status Marital status Occupation Birth year Place of birth Ethnicity Ole Syversen Husfader g Gaardbr og Selveier 1808 Søndre Aurdal Karen Mattea Knudsdatter hans Kone g 1817 Søndre Aurdal Syver Olsen deres Søn ug hjælper Faderen med Gaardsbruget 1843 Søndre Aurdal Ole Olsen deres Søn ug hjælper Forældrene 1844 Søndre AurdalSiri Olsdatter deres Datter ug 1846 Søndre Aurdal Kari Olsdatter deres Datter ug 1851 Søndre Aurdal Maria Olsdatter deres Datter ug 1854 Søndre Aurdal Mattea Olsdatter deres Datter ug 1859 Søndre Aurdal Kristian Olsen deres Søn ug 1857 Søndre Aurdal Here is Aslak and Kari Haug's second daughter's birth and baptism record, scanned http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20060727080316.jpg&siz=full born Feb. 3, 1877, baptised March 25, 1877, Karen Mattea, legitimate, father is farmer Aslak Simonsen Haug age 22, (I believe he owns the Haug farm) and mother Kari Olsdatter age 25. Harder to read all of her sponsors names, But one is Kristian Olsen Hestekind, Dortea Simonsdatter Haug, Maria Olsdatter Hestekind (a different sister, but shown on the 1865 census?) and Mathea Olsdatter Hestekind. Those digitised parish registers should also be available through the local LDS research center. Fylke: Oppland Prestegjeld/sokn:Sør-Aurdal Bruflat If you contact Janni [email protected] you might be able to get some lookups help for Etnedal, if you know the farm name (you do, Hestekind øvre, and Haug.) The local church is maybe Bruflat. You could also try Betty [email protected] She has some bygdeboks for that area. Bygdeboker are farm and family history books, and since it is indicated that Aslak Simonsen Haug is the farm owner at Haug (Houg) in Sør Aurdal, he should be listed in the book. I think that in the 1886 farm tax and owner's name census, Kari Olsdatter Hestekind's brother Kristian Olsen Hestekind, was still owning the farm at Hestekind, although there is a little spelling variation, I think it's the same farm. It's spelled Hestkinn øvre, Hestkinn upper, just like on the 1865 census. It is the subfarm # 3 listed below. http://www.rhd.uit.no/matrikkel/mtliste.aspx?knr=0540&gnr=135 Fylke: Oppland Kommune: Sør-Aurdal Sogn: Bruflat Gårdsnummer: 135 Gammelt matrikkelnr: 123 Navn på gård: Hestkinn søndrAntall bruk registrert på matrikkelgården: 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruksnr Gammelt løpenr Bruksnavn Brukers navn Skyld i Mark-Øre Skyld i Daler-Ort-Skilling Merknad 1 702 Bjørn-Ødegaarden Erik A.
