Hi Sandy,

Well, as you probably know, the stfold data in not yet in the 1865
census. This increases the difficulty and removes it from the category I
can solve, which isn't hard to do. :-) I assume Anna and the unknown
female sibling were the ones that remained in Norway. I did poke around
in the 1890 census hoping to find Sophie (Sofie) or a Mons but didn't
discover much except this is probably your area because names like
Julius, Mina, Oline, and Sofie are quite common.

I think someone will have to look through church records to find the
family. I am not up on parish names but there is a church in Mysen, so
the parish may be Mysen. I'd give this another day or so before giving
up. However, anyone out there with information on professional
genealogists in this area better send it to Sandy.

Don't feel bad about posting to the List. That's what it is for. You
might not get success one day and might later, depending on how much data
you have and who is reading. Anyway, it gave me a couple hours of
entertainment this morning wading around in the census data.

although I still think it might be as well. This is the
information I have found on my husband's family. I am now looking for
parent's names of these siblings. On Severin's death certificate only the
first name of "Sophie" is listed for mother's name. On Lar's death
certificate the name of "Monson" is listed for father. It is my belief
they came from Mysen, Ostfold, Norway as Mysen was the information I
received from the First Lutheran Church in Morris, Minnesota. Obit in
1935 said that two sisters remained in Christiania, Norway.
