Records & Research
No public record could be located that independently confirms or adds to the report's facts for Ronnoug (Rønnaug) Paulsdater, born 1858, daughter of Paul Olsen (1822-1885) and Embjor Iversdater (1828-1905). The only same-named candidate found (Geni's "Rønnaug Paulsdatter Viken," born 1858) is a different person: her recorded mother is Rønnaug Gunnarsdatter Viken, not Embjor Iversdatter. The match rested only on a very common name (Paul Olsen) plus birth year, with a hard mismatch on the mother, so it was rejected rather than accepted. The mother's distinctive name "Embjør Iversdatter" (1828-1905) returns no matching individual in any consulted database, so the report facts remain unverified by an independent source. Audit note: a same-name candidate that conflicts with a trusted anchor (here, the mother) is correctly treated as a wrong-person match, not a correction to the known facts.

unconfirmed mother: report “Embjor Iversdater (1828-1905)” vs. found “Rønnaug Gunnarsdatter Viken (on the Geni 'Rønnaug Paulsdatter Viken (1858)' profile)”. This concerns a same-name candidate, NOT a confirmed match for our person, and is NOT a correction to the known facts. The Geni profile 'Rønnaug Paulsdatter Viken (1858)' lists parents Paul Olsen Vigen and Rønnaug Gunnarsdatter Viken. The given name and birth year match, but the mother contradicts the report's trusted anchor (Embjor Iversdater). Because identity rests only on a very common name (Paul Olsen) plus birth year, with a hard mismatch on the mother, this candidate is rejected as a different person. The Geni page is login/JS-gated, so the underlying parent data could not be independently re-verified in this audit.
Open questions (4)
- Is the Geni profile 'Rønnaug Paulsdatter Viken (1858)' (geni.com/people/Rønnaug-Viken/6000000068535172833) actually our person despite the mother being listed as Rønnaug Gunnarsdatter Viken rather than Embjor Iversdatter? Almost certainly NOT the same person (hard mother mismatch against a trusted anchor), but the matching given name and birth year warrant a note. Confirming would require viewing the full Geni profile (login-gated; an audit browser fetch returned HTTP 200 with no extractable text) or the underlying Norwegian church/census record.
- What is the birthplace/parish of Ronnoug Paulsdater? No place is recorded in the report, which makes Digitalarkivet (Norwegian church and 1865/1875/1900 census) searches imprecise. A parish or farm name (gard) would allow targeted lookup of the Paul Olsen + Embjor Iversdater household and their children.
- Did this family emigrate, and if so under what surname spelling (Paulsen/Paulson/Olson)? No emigration, marriage, death, or census record for this specific Rønnaug was found.
- No independent record at all could be found for the mother 'Embjør Iversdatter (1828-1905)', which would be the strongest second anchor for identifying the correct Rønnaug; locating her would likely surface the whole sibling set.
