Johnstad/ Finseth emigration to USA

Legg inn av Phil Kohl » 20 jan 2005 16:59:43

I am looking for the origins of my wife's great grand parents:


Martin M. Johnstad, b. 8 June 1848, Bergen, Norway, surname changed to
Madsen, 14 October 1880, father: Martin Johnstad, mother: Oline Iversen,
b. abt 1828 Bergen, Norway.

and his wife:

Gunhild Finseth, b. 15 Dec 1862, Kristiana (Oslo) Norway, father:
Christopher Finseth, mother: Sigrid Halvorsdottir, b. abt 1827.

This must be the family in the 1865 census:

The father seems to be born in Førde, Sogn and Fjordane.

Oline was a widow in 1891:

Here's the father's burial:

I can't find the couple as married in Bergen though.

Johnstad seems to be in Nøstdal sogn in Førde, Sognand Fjordane

Could this be Oline and her parents? It's the closest I can get to 1823:
