Looking for this family from Levanger

[gj05515]

Hi,

Here is an emigration record showing a family leaving Levanger (#62672-#62674):

http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcen ... 62672#ovre


The record says the family lived in Levanger, bit I can find no records showing they were really there. From information after their arrival in America, I know the ages of the children are wrong. Here is what I have on the complete family:

Father: John Olsen, born March 1850 in Norway, married 1877 in Norway, arrived in America 1883 or 1884.

Mother: Oline Margrethe, born Oct 1853 in Norway

Children:

Olof J. Olsen, born January 1878, arrived in America 1896
Nils Kristian Olsen, born 7 August 1800 in Norway, arrived in America 1890 with mother
Johan M. Olsen, born January 1883 in Norway, arrived in America 1890 with mother

There were more children born later in America. I am looking for any records that would show where this family came from in Norway.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for posting the link. After Vigdis helped me, I thought I could find the family in Levanger, but no luck so far!
