Sivert Jonnsen Eidem was my great-great-great-great grandfather born in Selbu 1739. One of his sons was John Sivertssen Eidem, born in Selbu 1784. One of John's sons was Anders Jonssen Eidem born in Selbu 1820. Anders was also known as Anders Vokken, or Wokken, or Woken.
Anders and his family immigrated in 1866, from Trondheim aboard the Neptunus, under Captain Hermann Ludvigsen, departing May 5, 1866 and arriving Quebec June 9. They eventually settled in Atwater MN, where other families from Selbu had already settled. They had 10 children, the last 3 born in MN: Ola 1846, Sigri 1848, Ole 1855, Paul 1857, John 1860, Sarah 1862, Bersvend 1865, Karen 1867, Ingeborg 1870, and Anna 1871.
I have lots more information about Eidems from Selbu.
