Even Larssen Tokstad, Ottestad, Stange, Hedmarken

[gj26413]

I am looking for information on this man and hopefully a current family.
He was born 8-10-1848 in Tomteie to Lars Larssen and Eli Syverson.
He married Anne Marthe Hansdatter of Norde Eltoneie 1-8-1869. Her father was Hans Gulbrandson.
They had several children, Helmer-4-16-1849, Hilda 4-22-1871, Emil in 1873, Eli in 1895 and Martin in 1878.
They lived at Bakken nedre in 1875.
Is listed on 1900 census but I am not able to determine where they lived.
in the 1910 census they were at Atlungstadeie/Strandstua.
Many of his brothers, sisters and parents came to the US. One brother is the g great grandfather of my wife. Many of these left while living in Tokstad.
We are traveling to Norway later part of June.
Is there family from this family in Norway that we could communicate with prior to our trip to Norway.

Hei Harold ~

I found Even Larsen and Matea Hansdtr in the 1910 census with her date of birth as 1842 Jun 25 at https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/pe ... 6401001370

But I could not find them in the 1900 census, using her given name as either Matea or Anne Marthe or under Even's name.

Do you have a link to the 1900 census for them?

Takk,

John

Hei again, Harold ~

I was able to find the 1900 census for the family at https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/pe ... 7054001543

They are living at Strandstuen, which, I am reading it correctly, has farm number 41, which is not in the Stange bygdebøker. However, in the Norske Gardsbruk book from 1943, Atlungstad has farm number 41, so perhaps it was under that farm. (In the Stange bygdebok,
Atlungstad has farm number 40.)

The list of children that you had can also be expanded. There was a Lina born in 1865 before the parents were married and Inga, who was born in 1880. And in the 1875 census on the RHD web page, two of the children are not listed, so perhaps they were already deceased (Helmer and Hilda).

I think the next step would be to find marriages for the children and see if they had children of their own in the 1910 census.

Best wishes,

John
