Looking for descendants and information on AARON/AANON OLSEN and wife KIRSTEN THORSDATTER who lived in Konsmo Parish. Their children were GURINE b.1861, GURINE b 1862, JOHANNE THERESIA b1864, JENNY who married Mr NILSEN, OLE b1866, TORJUS b1868, ANTON GUNERIUS b1871, LUDVIG JOHAN my great grandfather born 1873 Fjaere,Grimstad, GUNDA AASINE b1875, ANDERS UNDERLAND b1878.
My great grandfather came to Sydney Australia in 1889 on the ship Sneklokke but I can find no records of this on the Norway Emigration website. In Australia he was known as JAMES SELAND and his mother was listed as Christina on his death certificate in 1905. He died when my Grandmother was 2 weeks old and my family would love to find our relatives in Norway.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
