 Research Notes:
1. Birth

- parents Nils Evensen og Sigrid Marie Nygaard

2. Sven Nilsen Swensen: birth / death is disproven
- Østerdalslaget Project 2010
birth - abt 1862 - using the ages on the 1865 Norway and 1870 US Census
but the Norway parish register is likely to be more accurate
Thus, I have recorded his birth as 15 Nov 1858
death - about 1872 citing Østerdølenes Saga (page 458) Died the year after his father died.
HOWEVER: Østerdølenes Saga (page 458) states ... Mrs Langsjoen's father (Nils Swensen) died the second winter in the US and this was the winter after "his brother Even Sensen [Svensen] was killed near the same place ..." . This not referring to Nils Swensen's son
ADDITIONALY Sven is recorded with the family in 1875 MN States census, but not with the family in the 1880 US Census, therefore it is likely he would have died after 1 May 1875 and before 30 May 1880 (date of enumeration was 1 Jun 1880). It is possible he was "someplace else", however, since he would have been the oldest and only son, it would seem reasonable that he would have continued on the family farm after the death of his father in 1871 and eventually inherited the farm. He is not recorded in 1880 US or the 1885 or 1895 MN State Census.
HOWEVER, Jacob Langsjoen's manuscript (page 8, Prestlien -3) states that Svend Nilson Jordet was born 15 Nov 1858, confirmed 12 Oct 1874, and died on 14 Mar 1878. He had "twisted" his hip that turned to death and was in pain and agony on his sick bed."
Thus , I have recorded his death as being 14 Mar 1878 .
3. Migration 1869
- traveling with the Mikkel Nilsen Prestlien family
- Svend Nilsen Øvrøijordet, Sigrid Marie Iversdtr, Svend age 10 Gjertrud age 5 and 1/12 months; Kari age 2 and 1/6th yr or 2 months
5058
Noted events in his life were:
1. Disproven death - Abt 1872, 1872, St Olaf Twp, Otter Tail Co, Minnesota, United States. 5058 Abt 1872 is recorded as his death on the "Østerdalslaget Project 2010" database that cites the Østerdølenes Saga; However, Østerdølenes Saga (page 458) states ... "his [Nils Svendsen] brother Even Sensen [Svendsen] died [the next winter]... ", not Nils' son
