His name in Norway is Thorvald B�rresen, which would be one of the normal spellings for the name you mention. He is at Sj�enden �stre Gaard [farm], Eidskog Herred [Administrative District], Hedmark County. Here is the link to the site [if it doesn't work let me know and I will re-post it.] http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f00420.wc2&gardpostnr=850&personpostnr=5183&merk=5183#ovre Torvald's parents are B�rre Sj�enden born 1861in Eidskogen and Eli Eriksen 1857 born in Finskog, Brandvold, Hedmark. He has brothers Eilif (Eilef) 1883?, Brede 1890, Sigurd 1894 and sisters Dora 1885, Kristine 1887 and Agnes 1899. I will try to find the parents in 1865 and their families in a new e-mail.
