  Notes	He is Ola Nilsson Tørstad, I4990, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. He seems to be Ola Nilsen Haugen, I25645, in Jim’s VS. For that entry, there is no further information on Ole’s wife or children. However, the VS entry shows Ole’s parents to be Nils Olsen Helle and Berit Håvardsdatter Helle. He’s simply Ole Nelson in the French Family Tree. The bygdebok (p. 787) calls him Ola Nilsson Tørstadeiga. He was called Ole Nilsen Ellingbø in the church book entry for Nel’s birth. He was called Ole Nielson Kattevold in the entry for Anders’s birth and for Helge’s birth and for the family’s emigration record. Shown as Ole Nielsson in the 1865 Norwegian census. He was a “husmand med jord og smed” on the Grunkø farm in Hoved subparish in Vang parish. He was 38, his wife Sigri Olsdatter was 31, and they had two sons: Niels, 7, and Ole, 3.
