Dear Margit : Yes this is my family.The ages are wrong ,Ole was born 22 Feb 1815 and Sigri's last name was Syversdatter not Knudsdatter and she was born 2 Oct 1815, Aaberg, Nord Aurdal.Her father was Syver Knudson, Aaberg, born 11 Sep 1768 and died 4 March 1853. Her mother was Marit Nilsdatter, Aaberg, born 20 Jan 1788, Nord Aurdal.This was Syver's 2nd marrage, married 27 Sep 1812.As far as i know Sigri was their only child ? I will send you more information later. My main objective is to find out what happened to Ole and Sarah [Sigri ] after 1872. I checked the 1880 census and did not find them .
