  Notes	Shown in the 1865 Norwegian census as Halvor Iversen, born in 1853 in Qværnæs. Named after his paternal grandfather. Halvor emigrated to “Reknos” on 19 Feb 1878. Seems to have been a baptismal sponsor for Marie Rasmussen. Although Erik Ingebrigtsen is shown as the owner (”Gaardbruger Selveier”) of the farm (on 216, Gustad) in the 1865 census, in the 1886 land register, H. Iversen is listed as the “land owner or user” of the holding (16-6, old 127-216a) on Gulstad (”commonly written Gustad”) in Kvernes. This suggests that primogeniture prevailed and that Halvor inherited the farm after his father perished. Perhaps Erik and/or Ane held the property in trust until Halvor reached majority. In the 1900 census he may be the 44 year-old “Everson Halverson” living not far from the Gustads and Ever Eversons in Farm Island Twp. His occupation is day laborer. In the 1905 state census, he is living with Ever and family in Farm Island Twp. Living with his brother Ever at the time of the 1910 census. Shown as having emigrated in 1894. Occupation is shown as farm laborer. Living with Ever (”Ivar”) and Bente (”Benta”) in the 1920 census. Living with his brother and sister-in-law in Farm Island township at the time of the 1930 census. Halvor is shown as being 76 years old and having emigrated in 1903. All are shown as being naturalized citizens and Halvor is shown as “single.” His brother Ever, with whom he was living, was the informant for Halvor’s death certificate. Ever knew that Halvor’s parents were Ever Halvorson and Anna Arnesdatter. Halvor died of cerebral apoplexy.
