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.
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.
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 "Mai" - Poul Nielsen marries again to Martha Eriksdatter in Skaarashagen, Norway. He's identified as 38 years old and she is 22. This record also indentifies the father of Paul as Niels Paulsen and Martha's father as Erik Hanson. [Norway Archives, Romedal 1829-1846, 1843, page 219. http://www.arkivverket.no]
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.
