According to family lore Olea Oldsdatter is first "married" to Johan Borreson Egeberg whereas the baptism of Bernt in 1848 says both parents from Arstad farm in the Stange parish. She does have one child fathered by Johan, Bernt Johansen Egeberg. Bernt is listed below in the baptismal record as "illegitimate". It was rather common at this time for couples to live together and have a child baptized before they marry. It is believed that Johan, according to the record, intended by marry but Johan must have died before 1856.  I believe they moved together to the small industrial area developing near the Aadalen farm. Because of the recently discovered history of the area with a nearby paper mill and the Aadalen farm becomes industrialized by a foundry, I wonder if Johan Borresen had gone to Aadalsbrug to work in the foundry at least for awhile.  They baptize Bernt in Stange which is actually closer to the Egeberg farm than it is to Aadahlen. The Arstad farm is also closer to Stange so I'm assuming that they left the industrial area for more quiet and a traditional farming life.  The industrial dangers in cast iron manufacturing would be quite high.

Olea was born on the Aadalen farm and her family had originally sold farm goods to the factory which eventually expands to take over the farm. Olea raises her son apparently on her own for several years when she remarried to Knud Olsen Egeberg. According to family lore Johan's brother was Knud.  In fact it seems that it is unlikely that they are brothers.  I have found other records that indicate that they have different parents.  Due to the naming pattern in Norway Johan should have been Olsen as a middle or last name. There is no marriage record to Johan and the 1863 confirmation of Bernt indicates that they never got married.  The baptism of Bernt Fredrick shows that Olea was not married at the time shortly after his birth. She has the baptism in Stange parish even though she was from Løiten.  It says that she is a recently arriving and although Johan is the father according to the last column in the baptism.  John and Knud are decisively proved not to be brothers, as family lore states. They may have lived together and never legalized the relationship. The Stang Bydebok states that Johan never married and gave the actual date of his death.  Census records are missing to prove this but the confirmation of Bernt in 1863 supports that. 

Bernt's bapt
The baptism record of Bernt Frederik J C states that he is illegitimate. The fifth column from left states "uogle" is  the archaic form or abbreviation of the word "utenfor ekteskap"meaning illegitimate. Olea Olsdatter  Arstad, "innflytte" means she "has moved into the area from Løiten parish in1847". Johan Borres of Arstad is a "Krungods Gaardmann" or farmer of land belonging to the king in Arstad.  Their names are stated in the column for parents.  The third column from the right is for "God Parents".  The last column is translated below by [John Reindl].

"Ved uægte Børn af hvem Opgaven er skeet, enten Barnemoderen eller hvilket bekjendt og troværdigt Medlem af Menigheden." 
Translates according to John Reindl: "For illegitimate children, who reported this status: either the child's mother, or which known and trustworthy member of the parish"

The written words translate:  Opgivet af Hud (?) Gunner Amunds. Nordre Arstadseie Begge 1xx Leirmaal
Translates according to John Reindl: "Given by ? Gunner Amundsen, Nordre Arstad-eie. For both parents, 1st indiscretion."
John also thinks that the unreadable word may be an abbreviation for Husmand.

1849, April 4 - Johan Borreson dies in Stange.   Olea is left to raise her two year old son by herself.  About six years later she marries Knud Olsen a tailor by trade.

1856, March 13 - The marriage to Knud Olsen Egeberg is identified in marriage records for Løten, Hedmark, Norway.  He is 50 years old and she is 39.  The grooms father is identified as Ole Christensen and bride's father is Ole Jensen.  The seem to be living on the farm of Akkeren. Knud is from the farm Bruvold and Olia is from Aadalen.  This marriage record also lists the vaccination dates for Knud being 11 Nov 1825 and Olea on 3 Feb 1856, only a few days before the marriage.  There is no history of Aadalen in the Romedal or Løten Bygdaboks although it is listed on the 1862 map as Oadahlen farm.

1858 - 24 May/Mai - the birth of "Oliana Mariane" is recorded to Knud Olsen Egeberg as Olia Oldsdtor Egeberg of Lille AaDalen in Løiten, Norway parish records.  Several other names as listed as apparent sponsors or witnesses. They are difficult to read but I include them here as best I could make out  -  "Ole Hovelsen Aalsvold as Saun Bedre Eli as Erikfen Nybak as Anne Hovels Aasvold. Hans Hovelfen Aadalfreen." The letter "f" in the male names should be read as an "s"  to "Hovelsen". I don't know the relationship of these folks to the family at this time.  The baptism date is also listed as 30th of May/Mai.  By this date the family seems to be living on the Egeberg farm, at least part time.

The above record shows her as from the farm #224 Aadalen in Løiten.

1863, Oct 4 - Bernt Frederik Egeberg  of Arstad, Stange parish, born 22 Oct 1848 is confirmed.  His mother is listed as "Pige Olea Olsdatter" and father "Johan Borresen" at the Rosvardig church.  17 Nov 1849.  The date is different from the original record of 1849 above.  "pige" is a title that says that she has never been married but by this date she already married to Knud, so the statement seems to mean that she never married to Johan.

The Ekeberg Farm is in Stange parish and listed in the Stange Bygdebok of Hedmark (listed in Løiten parish 1865)  is translated here by Google translator. It does have some difficulty with some abbreviations and words. Ekeberg is the Danish spelling since Norway was under the control of Denmark for 200 years. Egeberg is the Norwegian spelling. It means "oak tree". A rare spot where they can grow oak at this latitude. The history is of the farm and lists owners from the earliest record back to 1370. Our relatives seemed to have moved around to several farms as workers and are not directly recorded here but it does give some indication of why the name was adopted as a last name and means "an oak tree". The translated English language is a little awkward and some of the words and abbreviations are unknown. It can be listed also as Egeberg for the Danish spelling with the same meaning.

Ekeberg
Gnr. 143, bnr. 1

Navnet opprinnelig Eikaberg - av trenavnet eik. Gården er nevnt i 1370 og 1452. 10/11 1370 kjøpte Thorleivr Thorgeirson av Alv Thorderson, Ivar, hans bror og Rønnaug, hans søster ½ markabol i Eikeberg i Skogbygden. Skjøtet ble skrevet av presten på Stange, Bergsvein Haraldson i nærvær av Mathias på Huseby og 2 andre menn. I 1452 eides Ekeberg av 2 søsken, Ragnhild Amundsdtr. og hennes bror Redar. 30/4 1452 gikk de til Stange kirke, og etter messen fikk de to lagrettemenn, Sigurder Alvson og Ivar Tjøstolvson til å sette opp brev om at Ragnhild solgte til Redar sin del i gården. Våren etter var Redar gift. Med sin kone, Sigrid Thordsdtr., gikk han til kirke søndag 22/4 1453 og fikk de samme lagrettemenn til å sette opp brev om at de delte likt både løst og fast av eiendommen. Den som levde lengst skulle ha Ekeberg til åsæte så lenge han (hun) levde, fordi de jordeparter som Sigrid eide, kom derudi - hun har vel også vært fra Ekeberg.

1863, Oct 4 - Bernt Frederik Egeberg  of Arstad, Stange parish, born 22 Oct 1848 is confirmed.  His mother is listed as "Pige Olea Olsdatter" and father "Johan Borresen" at the Rosvardig church.  17 Nov 1849.  The date is different from the original record of 1849 above.  "pige" is a title that says that she has never been married but by this date she already married to Knud, so the statement seems to mean that she never married to Johan.
