Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hi, I have reached out the Lower Wisconsin River Genealogical and Historical Research Center. m It looks like they have marriage and death records for Crawford County on file, and perhaps they will be able to offer some clues. Also, I am still waiting to receive the death certificate for the Kari Jo...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Wow! Plot twist! I asked my mom about Andrew being a painter, and that triggered her memory that she had heard the same thing from a cousin a couple of years ago. She said he specialized in painting in churches. It's really interesting that we have to consider a new name for Mary / Martha. Good find...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hello, I will try to do a bit more digging to see if I can gather any additional information from relatives, but I am not that confident that Nel's mother was Marit. (The "Marit" information was listed on the same notes where "Gurie" was his wife, and that just doesn't stand up with what we know fro...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
I understand that it was the mother of Nils who was supposed to be named Marit?Tove DJ Yes, the note references a Marit was the mother of Nils, married to Tollef. Because of the emigration record from 1855 and the birthday in April, I am wondering if the Valdres Nils might be our guy. There were ma...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Kari, if you have Ancestry, can you find any of the family in the WI State census of 1895 (this is not the Federal US census). Not sure what that might show...Maybe Kari Tollefson is still alive? Yes, I have looked at the 1895 and 1905. The 1895 state census for Wisconsin only listed the head of fa...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hei igjen... Kari...How about "Gurie"...was a misspelling of "Carie" (Kari)...? Esp since this person was "Gurie Johnson"...that could be Kari Johnson...perhaps???? Tove, I think your question was: Is the father of Nels called Tollef Tollefsen or Tollef Nilsen (who you found in the Gol Norwegian re...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hello And I am just wondering - how certain is the information that father of Nils Tollefson was Tollef Tollefson ? Tove DJ Hi Tove, Thanks for all of the great finds. Especially the marriage of Ole, which confirmed his mother was Kari. I feel pretty confident that Nil's father was Tollef. I got so...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hi Patty, Interesting that you should ask about the church. I just found this tidbit this morning from post on another message board, from 1871, which refers to a Nils Tollefson as part of Utica Lutheran in Crawford County: m Reply author: lyndal40 Replied on: 31/08/2011 04:50:10 Message: A little h...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Hello, Patty: Thanks for sharing that link. Quite a history of Crawford County. I have been in contact with a relative in Crawford County. She was able to confirm that Nils Tollefson's father was Tollef Tollefson. Unfortunately, she didn't have any additional information to add about Kari. She also ...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
What a great lead on Kari's brother and family! Thank you, Tove! Someone on Ancestry has included Ingelbrigt J Kvam in their tree, with this picture of the whole family! Unfortunately, there was no additional information about Kari or Kari/Ingelbrigt's parents. I am still searching for Kari's marria...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Great information, Tove. Thank you again. I am having trouble finding anything on the marriage of Nils and Kari/Carrie. If Kari's name is Kari Johannesdatter Tuftene as we suspect, what do you think she would have used as a surname in the United States? I am trying to get in touch with a relative in...

Re: Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisco
Thank you, Tove!
That makes a lot of sense! The birth year and marriage year are consistent with what we know from existing records. And of course, a match to the name on the chest.
Thank you for helping to solve a piece of the puzzle. I really appreciate your help!

Andrew Paulson & Mary Tollefson - Emigrants to Wisconsin
(Sorry that this is in English ... I don't speak Norwegian.) I am looking for information on Mary (Tollefson) Paulson and Andrew Paulson, and their parents. Mary was born in Wisconsin, USA around 1859 and resided in Crawford County until at least 1920 (1). I believe she died in 1942 based on records...
