Records & Research

No public record could be found that identifies this specific Ronnoug Paulsdater (born 5 April 1860, daughter of Paul Olsen 1822-1885 and Embjor Iversdater 1828-1905) on two or more independent anchors. Searches across FindAGrave-style results, FamilySearch, WikiTree, Geni, and the Norwegian Digital Archive (Digitalarkivet), using multiple spelling variants (Paulsdatter/Paulsen/Paulson, Embjor/Embjør Iversdatter), returned only same-name-different-person candidates that mismatched on parents, patronymic, and/or birth date. Every named candidate was rejected on a hard anchor conflict, and none matched even a single solid anchor unambiguously. The known report facts therefore remain the only reliable information about her. (Audit note: the conclusion and all rejections were reviewed and upheld; no findings required confirmation, downgrade, or removal because the findings array is empty.)

No additional public records have been confirmed yet — only what the family report records.

Open questions (9)
  • Death date, death place, and burial are entirely unknown; no death or burial record was located.
  • Birth place is unknown; the parents' patronymics (Paulsdatter/Olsen, Iversdater) and names point to a rural Norwegian parish, but the specific farm/parish was not identified in any consulted source.
  • Did she emigrate (e.g. to the US Upper Midwest, a common pattern for this surname) or remain in Norway? No immigration, census, or marriage record was found to decide this.
  • Were there a marriage, spouse, or children? The report lists none and none were found.
  • Candidate 'Rønnaug Paulsdatter Viken (b. 1858)' on Geni (https://www.geni.com/people/R%C3%B8nnaug-Viken/6000000068535172833) was REJECTED: father is listed as Paul Olsen 'Vigen', birth year 1858 not 1860-04-05, and no Embjor Iversdatter mother — only a weak single-anchor partial with a hard birth-year mismatch. Rejection upheld on audit.
  • The korseberg.com 'ronnogs_family.pdf' (Descendants of Peder Bilben / Pedersen-Paulsen line) was reported as downloaded and full-text searched by the original researcher; despite its suggestive filename and the name coincidence with 'Ronnoug', it was found NOT to contain this Paul Olsen (1822-1885)/Embjor Iversdater (1828-1905) couple or a Ronnoug born 5 Apr 1860 — its central matriarch is a different 'Rønnaug Olsdatter' (note the Olsdatter patronymic, not Paulsdatter). AUDIT NOTE: an independent re-verification of this PDF via the available browser-fetch tool was not possible because the URL triggers a file download rather than rendering as text; the rejection therefore rests on the original researcher's full-text search plus the patronymic mismatch, and could not be independently re-confirmed.
  • WikiTree Olsen-7743 (Paul 'Bøvolden' Olsen 1829-1921, wife Marthe Erlandsdatter, emigrated to Utah) is a different Paul Olsen (birth 1829 vs. father's known 1822; wrong wife) and was rejected. Rejection upheld on audit.
  • Geni 'Embjørg Iversdatter Sæteren' (1816-1893) was rejected as the mother (dates 1816-1893 conflict with the known 1828-1905). Rejection upheld on audit.
  • A direct, parameterized search of Digitalarkivet's parish/census records (constraining father=Paul and mother=Embjør) could not be confirmed to apply those filters via the available tools; a manual search on digitalarkivet.no for the 1865/1875 census of the family's home parish is the most likely path to primary confirmation.
