Hello Elizabeth, Of course I will tell the list if I find the wedding record of Olaf Nikolaj Paulsen Sletten and Oline Kristensdr But I have not found this wedding. I do not know where to look. I think this is Olaf in 1900 census here below. If this is right he was not yet married in 1900. But in 1904 the couple was married. So somewhere in between december 1900 and June 1904 they must have been married. Problem is that he was a railwayworker, so they moved a lot for work at different places. 1900 census This might be Olaf Sletten b. 1878 (not yet married) in Søndre Land, Oppland county <http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=27&filnamn=f00536&gardpostnr=139&personpostnr=1027&merk=1027#ovre> But I did not see a wedding in Søndre Land and not in Flå. There are abt. 396 surnames Sletten in 1900 census in Norway. And in 1900 census a farm named "Sletten" in a lot of parishes in every county. So "Sletten" was not an unusual name in Norway.

There is quite a lot of information in Australian records about Peder Kristian and his family and descendants but I am not sure where the following Sletten people fit in? SLETTEN Rouald Elviad Jermund - Perth SLETTEN Rouald & Jocelyn - Queensland SLETTEN Halvdan- Victoria as Anne said in her e-mail to Reina: <snip> Grandfather is the only *Sletten* to migrate to Australia so all the Slettens here in Aus are my family. However there are several Sletten who migrated to Australia and settled in various states. There are also Sletten families from Denmark, Edith Isobel Sorensen married into the SLetten family and she died in 1875 in Queensland. I have been indexing "Alien Registrations" here in NSW for years now and it is great to have some confirmed sources including the correct spelling of names and places of origin for those Aliens registered here in Australia. As Cliff & Halvor were quick to answer Anne I didn't bother replying, I was waiting for Anne to supply the list with more information. Ancestry message board had an inquiry from Rouald Sletten in 2002 from Townsville, Queensland is he related to your family Anne? I am hoping if Reina finds the wedding for Olaf and Oline she posts the marriage details to the list. It is always available to check in the list archives for others researching the Sletten name in the future.
