Hello,
I am looking for the Norwegian parentage of Ellen (Elen, Allen) Halvorsen born in 1828 (or possibly 8 Jan 26?) who was the father of my ancestor Hans Ellensen (1855) who migrated to Alpena (Leer) with bride Birthe Andrea Larsdatter Strand and Andreas (Andrew) Egge (1868).
Ellen Halvorson owned a farm at Vestre Egge Bruksnr. 14 and was the father of Hans, Maren Kirstine, Anne Marie, Andreas, Gunhild, and father in law of Peder Christiansen who took over the farm in 1885.
Hans Egge was a lumberman who was believed to have died in a lumbering accident in Northern Wisconsin or Minnesota on 6 Nov 1907.
