   Another name for Arne was Arne Evensen Kaasen.⁶¹²²

  Research Notes:

1. <http://www.tolgaslekt.no/?p=530>

- recorded after the 2 children, "Family moved to America"


2. is this the wrong person family ????? - these census records are on the 'Werner family tree' on Ancestry

** all three records stated that Arne emigrated in 1889; but leaving Tolga in the Norway Parish records indicate 1881


1900 US Census, Grantsberg, Burnett Co, WI; image 2 on ancestry

- Arne; born Feb 1854 in Nor; emigrated in 1889; Kirsti born Dec 1858, 2 child 2 liv; emigrated 1890
Ingeborg, daughter born Jun 1879 in Nor, Kristine daughter born Dec 1882 in Nor

** possible that Kirsti didn't make the crossing in 1889 and had to wait until 1890; but daughter Kirsti was born in Feb 1881 and the out-migration from Tolga was later in 1881

6. US Evangelical Lutheran Church records

- image 544 -- confirmation list for 24 Oct 1897 -- Kirsti Wold, born 22 Dec 1882
- image 544 -- " 24 Sep 1894 -- Ingeborg Wold, born 15 Jan 1879
there is another church in the area: Bethany or Bethania Norske of Wood River; Ancestry - US Evangelical Church records has a short history in Norwegian (about 4-5 pages), but no other information
- no burial for Arne; no marriage for Ingeborg

BUT this record establishes there residence here by 1894

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Migration - after 1883, 1883, Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. ^6122,6123 The record for Arne's "Out migration from Tolga Parish (Narbuvoll sogn) for North America" is questionable (also recorded is wife, Kirsti Ingulfsdatter and daughter Ingeborg. Name recorded as Arne Evensen Kaasen, born 1854). The reason of the inaccuracy is that the parish priest clearly recorded the family leave in 1881. However, the parish priest also recorded Arne and Kirsti's daughter, Kirsti, baptism on 2 Jan 1883. Thus the "out-migration" record (1881) is most likely incorrect. The most likely senario is that the family planned to leave in 1881 but were delayed and then left after Jan 1883

Arne married Kirsti Ingulfsdatter Akeren on 8 Mar 1879 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway. (Kirsti Ingulfsdatter Akeren was born on 21 Nov 1858 in Tolga, Hedmark, Norway ⁶¹¹³.)
