ASLAK OLSEN BERG

Utreist med/ Emigrated on:

Utreist til/ Emigrated to: USA - 1847. Together withe Ole Aslaksen Berg family.

Aslak Olsen Berg: It seems Aslak is NOT the son of Ole Aslaksen Berg, who emigrated together with him.
Aslak is supposed to have been born in 1827, which is before Ole Aslaksen married. I have not found him born in Gjerpen or Skien.

Note (Gard Strøm): He sure is a mystery.

In 1845 however, I found the following possibility on Bratsbergkleiva, close to Skien.:

House no 73,
Ole Andersen, seaman, married, age 32.
Maren Gundersdatter, age 34.
Aslak Olsen, bachelor, seaman, age 19.

This could be the right person, but no guarantee.

In 1825 I have also fond that the couple Ole Nielsen and Anne Aslaksdatter lived on Berg. They had a daughter Marte born that year.
