Paul Nielsen is listed in various locations or farms in the Loten
region just east of present day Hamar. This hilly region is about a
hundred miles north of Oslo. This is about the same latitude as
Anchorage, Alaska. Large families with limited farm land and short
growing seasons caused many to see immigration as a way for the younger
generations to prosper.
The census records show Paul Nielsen to be in various villages in
the Løiten/ Tomtereie region.
1805 - Sondre Malum (Malumskrogen)
1819 - Wollungsaugen (probably where Niels Paulsen was confirmed)
1834 - Helgeaasen (probably where Niels marrries Mari Jensdatter)
1835 - Helgeaasen
1836 - Haraseteie ?
1843 - Skaaraashagen (probably where Niels marrries Martha Eriksdatter)
1844 - Skaaraashagen
1846 - Midseteie ? Museteie
1848 - Tomtereie
1857 - Tomtereie
The movement from one location to another indicates to me that he
probably didn't own the land on which he was living. He could possibly
have been something on the order of an itinerant farm laborer.
1834, 11 Apr - Paul's first marriage to Mari Jensdatter Larsen probably
took place in Helgeaasen. She apparently already had three daughters.
Mari Jensdatter had previously been married Lars Larsen who died c1833.
She had a daughter, Oliv Larsdatter, 1 Nov 1828 in Mahlum, confirmed 1
Oct 1843 .
She had a second daughter, Johanne Larsdatter, 2 Sep 1830
Helgeaaren, confirmed 5 Oct 1845 .
She had a third daughter, Lavine Larsdatter, born 1 Jan 1833
(probably in Helgeaasen), baptized 13 Jan 1833, and confirmed 1 Oct
1848 (the town name is illegible "Nord.....eie") [records of Maurice
Jenson]
1835, 19 Jan. - birth of his first daughter, Lina Paulsdatter, took
place probably in Helgeaasen.
We have no information on how or when Mari Jensdatter died. It had
to have been between 1835 and about 1843. We also don't have any
information on what happened to her earlier children.
1843, 25 May - Paul Nielsen marries again to Martha Eriksdatter in
Skaarashagen, Norway
1865- Census records of Romedal Parish, Norway shows Even Pauls
(Paul's son). with his mother, Marthe Erikd. (Erik's daughter) living
on the land of Mathias Christians. Sund, a parish preacher within the
"Rohne Skoledistrikt." It seems times were tough for Even's mother, at
this time 45 years old. Even's father had died when he was about nine
years old. His mother is apparently working here for the parish
preacher's family as a milk maid as part of the support needed for the
family. Even is eighteen and working on the farm with his brother Johan
Magnus and his sister Pauline. Another daughter Martha seems to be
working as a house servant for anther family in the area.
