The name Frivold suggests to me that it is a farm name and there are a number of Frivold farms and sub farms in Fjære (near Grimstad), Aust Agder, Norway. Your inquiry might warrant a posting under Aust Agder. A quick look at the 1900 census in Fjære suggested some possibilities, but I didn't devote a lot of time to searching because of the uncertainty of my assumption. You might also want to take a few minutes to look at the census yourself. Ron Berkland
