"The majority of Norwegian emigrants left home with adequate funds, enough to enable them to gain to toehold in the new land. Passage alone was expensive, about 35 specie dollars to New York, the equivalent of about three years wages for a hired farm laborer. The persons who are subjects of this study paid for their passage and the trip inland, and bought land soon after arriving in America.Departures continued at several hundred per year after 1836, before jumping to 1600 in 1843. During the depression years of 1849-50 departures leaped to 4,000 a year. Then, during the 1850s, ranged between 1,600 and 6,000, reaching a new high of 8,000 in 1861, before the Civil War imposes a moratorium.

Most of the emigrants came from rural areas, especially the interior valleys. Many welcomed emigration as an alternative to leaving the ge'rd and submitting to urbanization. During the years 1846-1861, two-thirds of all emigrants came from the dis tricts of Valdres, Land, and Gudbrandsdal.

The first member of Anne Olsdatter's family to emigrate was an uncle, a halfbrother of Ole Gulliksen called Gulbrand Gulbrandsen. He took passage with his wife Marit and an infant daughter in 1848; the child died during the voyage and was buried at sea. The Gulbrandesn family bought choice land in the present town of Liberty, but had too little money to establish their farm. So Gulbrand took a job near Port Washington, on Lake Michigan, a short distance north of Milwaukee. He would save some money, then return to start his farm.

It is likely that Ole Gulliksen helped his children financially, for six of the eigth chose emigration. Only Gullik, the eldest son, who inherited the farm and daughter Ambjor, who married a husmann, stayed in Valdres. A brother and two more half-brothers of Ole Gulliksen would also find their way to Manitowoc County.

Knut og Marit hadde 8 barn: Nils, Knut, Ola, Torgeir, Gullik, Knut, Valgjerd og Ingebjørg. Knut overtok gården i 1818 og brukte den til 1854. Da han ga den til sønnen Nils, skilte han ut Molor og de den delen til den nest eldste sønnen Knut. Knud Nilsen's ga'rd was located on a large (and very old) estate called Jorstad. In about 1680, Jorstad was split into northern and southern divisions, with the southern division (Sore Jorstad) later divided into three ga'rd, one of which was call ed Hougen (or Haugen, or Jorstadhaugen). Knud Nilsens' family could use either "Jorstad" or "Hougen" as identification, but it appers that Jorstad was preferred. This custom applied to hussmenn as well as bonder. When people moved from one ga'r d to another, they did not take the name with them.

The names of the two daughters were giben in like manner, for their grandmothers. Subsequent children wer e named in honor of other relatives in no prescribed order. Note that "Knud" was used twice, perhaps to honor another realtive. Or the first Knud may have died, and the second named for the same relative. I Hauge-Berge boka står det at hun er født i 1812,
