NOTES:
The section on "when did they emigrate" (to America) is left blank, as it seems there was yet to have been found a record of Halvor, Ole and Kjertine`s journey overseas. From the ship passenger record, we now know that the families of Ole and of Kjertine left the city of Christiania (the name for Oslo, Norway at that time) on April 29, 1868 on the ship "Victoria" and arrived in Quebec on July 16, 1868. As we know that Halvor met his wife in Canada and the their eldest child was born in 1861, we believe that Halvor was the first of the three siblings to make the trip to the new country.
This account states that Halvor moved to Fåberg parish on May 7, 1855. Record from the Gran parish record of Halvor leaving Gran parish to Fåberg parish, Oppland county states that this took place on April 7, 1855.
Regarding making a living: "Fangstmann" in Norway means sealer or whaler. It is not clear if, in Manitoba for the Hudson Bay Company, Halvor was dealing with whales or seals (or beaver pelts, etc.).
Regarding Halvor`s children,"Embeter" means office, government positions. This may mean that additional records regarding this family are available.
Note about Ole Kristiansen, this account states that he was born at Smalgangen, Østre Toten parish, (Oppland county) . Smalgangen is a street in Oslo and has no connection to Østre Toten, as is evident in his marriage record.
