Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Elling ELLEFSON  [1, 2] 
    Birth 25 Dec 1825  Kongsberg, Buskerud, NORWAY Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3] 
    Gender Male 
    Census 1865  Austre Moland, Aust Agder, Sørlandet, NORWAY Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • 1865 census at Austre Moland, Aust Agder, NORWAY shows Elling Ellefsen, 41, born Tønsberg, occupation, "Hmd uden Jord Murer"; Berte Olsdatter, 32, b. Østermolands Prgj; Children b. Østermolands Prgj: Marthe, 12; Olavia, 7; Elise B., 3; Ellef, 10.

      Note: Baptism records indicate Elling was baptised in Kongsberg, as were his two older siblings. The remaining siblings were baptised in Modum, about 30 miles north and east. 1865 census records indicate Elling was born in Tønsberg. Census records for Nils Ellefson (older brother) show he was born in Kongsberg and records for Ole (younger brother) show he was born in Modum. I tend to believe the census records were mis-read.
