Hi Mary Ann! I find your Kristen Olsen and Elen Sivertsdatter on Storøen in 1865 with two daughters, Marie and Hanna. The latter was born in 1862, so they must have just moved there. And Ole Sivertsen and his family at Kvalstad. From the birthdates of Ole's children, they must have moved at the same time. I can't answer if the they went back to Land, but they don't appear in the 1875 census anywhere in Nord Trøndelag. The usual port of emigration from there was Trondheim. Do you know what year they emigrated?. Olaf In the 1865 Norwegian census Christian and family; and, Ole Severson and family are in Overhalla. I would like to know when they emigrated and from where? Did they possibly return to Land?
