  Notes	At the time of Ove's christening, the god parents (sponsors) included Christopher Helgeson Ellingbøe, Tollef Helgeson ? Ellingbøe, and Guri Tollefsdotter Ellingbøe (Helge Helgeson Ellingbøe's wife). Christopher's name was written into the column of the church book designated for illegitimate children as "the trustworthy member of the congregation" who stood for the child. From Don Carleson's "Genestory" web site: The 1865 Norwegian census shows Ove being born in 1840. His date of death is uncertain: other sources say either 1897 or 1898. His gravestone says 1898. At the time of the 1865 census, Ove was one of 13 people living on the "Ellingbø nordre" farm, or domicile, in Vang with the Helge Helgesen family. His family status is shown as "inderst" (farm laborer) and his occupation is shown as carpenter ("snedker"). Those 13 people were: Helge Helgesson, "husfar", age 39; Guri Torsteensdatter, 34, his wife; Helge Helgesson, 11, their son; Guri Helgesdatter, 7, their daughter; Torsteen Helgesdatter, 5, their son; Ole Knudson, 21, servant; Anne Andersdatter, 18, servant; Helge Helgesson, 73, "foderaadsmand"; Guri Tollevsdatter, 72, his wife; Tollev Helgesson, 32, their son, shoemaker; Sigri Helgesdatter, 28, their daughter; Ole Olson, 12, their foster-son; and Ove Ovesson, 26, Inderst, Snedker. Ove's occupation is referred to as snedker (carpenter) in Marit's birth record. Ove and Berit and family moved to Vestre Toten some time after Ole was born because Thea and Anna Maria were born on the Stepperud farm in Ås in Vestre Toten. Ove (42) and Berit (36) arrived (as Ellingbo) in the US on June 11, 1882, on the Pollux from Amsterdam. According to the emigration records, they left Kristiania on the Peterson Line ship Christiania on May 20, 1882, with Two Rivers as their destination. (Their out-migration is not recorded in the Vang church book or the Vestre Toten church book.) Ove and Berit arrived with four children: Marit (7), Ole (6), Thea (3), and Anna (11/12). They would have entered the US at Castle Garden on the southern tip of Manhattan island although Berit supposedly (according to Clara and Jan) said they landed at Ellis Island (which shouldn't have been open in 1882, at least as a port of entry). They went from New York to Two Rivers, WI (and, according to Rose, Green Bay) for a year or so and then on to Minnesota. There they lived for three weeks with an aunt of Ove (Sigrid Ellingboe Nelson) until another baby was born (apparently Oskar) and then to a sod house. A year later, Ove built the farm house. () This account is inconsistent with Berit's claim in the 1920 census that she immigrated in 1863 and became a naturalized citizen in 1870. Ed says the family farm was located five miles southwest of Lakeville. Ove's original farm was the 160 acres of the southeast quarter-section of Section 3 of New Market Twp, Scott County. Later, the farm was split between Ole and Albert, Ole getting the southern 80 acres and Albert the northern 80. Evey recalls that Albert's farm was originally 60 acres and that he added 20 more in the 1940s. Evey says that Ove built, or helped to build, the District 66 schoolhouse that she and her siblings and cousins attended.

His gravestone says "O O E." Apparently has a gravestone at East Christiania too. At least his death is included in the records of the East Christiania church. [5]
