Thorvald Thorson is the illegitimate of Thor Thorson and Elen Evensdater born November 6, 1862, on the Egelien under Vardsvoden farm, and baptized January 25, 1863, in Fjære, AA. I have not been able to locate these folks in the 1865 census in Norway. Thorvald shows up in Scandinavia, Waupaca County, Wisconsin in 1880 census listed as the nephew of Anon Evenson Rise and his wife Gunbjor.
I am trying to find out when he left Norway and if his mother came with him, if not what happened to her. Any help you can give me is very much appreciated.
