TIMELINE FOR TOLINE GUNNULDSDATTER PAULSON --
Birth: 13 Mar 1846 near Bø, Telemark, Norway. Her name was pronounced "Tow-lee-nah." She tells that she was from the Traskjær farm. The details of her birth are under inquiry yet as Traskejær Farm is in a different parish than Bø. Birth record states Svenskerud farm. [1,3-7,9-14]
Baptism: 29 Mar 1846 in Bø,Telemark, Norway. Held at the Bø parish church. [11,14]
Confirmation: 3 Nov 1861 in Bø, Telemark, Norway. [16]
Departure: 11 Apr 1872 left the port at Skien, Telemark, Norway aboard the Bark RJUKAN, owned by Offenberg Co.[12]
Arrival: 23 May 1872 at the port in Quebec, Quebec, Canada aboard the Bark RJUKAN. Toline traveled with the Halvor Bekhuus Hanta family. There would have been a 3 or 4 day quarantine at Grosse Isle before getting to Quebec proper. This quarantine stop is routine at that time for folks arriving by ship traveling on the St. Lawrence River. [3,10,12,13]
Residence: June-July 1872 working in Fillmore County, Minnesota until her brother Paul G. Paulson came to bring her to Waseca County, Minnesota. [13]
Marriage: 19 Sep 1873 Toline would marry Olaus O. Amensen/Ostrom in Waseca, Waseca County, Minnesota. [8,13]
Residence: 1880 in Vivian township, Waseca County, Minnesota. Olaus was farming, Toline was caring for their five children; Ole, Jack, Anna, Elsie and baby Oscar. [1]

Death: 26 Jun 1934 in Elbow Lake, Grant County, Minnesota; age 88. [2,6,9,15]
Burial: 02 Jul 1934 funeral was held in Elbow Lake, Grant County, Minnesota, interment Ness Cemetery. [6,9,15]
NOTES --
1. I have some research to do to clarify the location of Toline's birth. From what I am reading, there seems to be a parish change or perhaps it is a government district change that has occurred since her birth. I need to understand what this change was. I plan to make that a subject of an upcoming post.
SOURCES AND RESEARCH NOTES (research notes in

The source list that is provided by Family Tree Maker is not is presented in the book "Evidence Explained" format as defined by its author Elizabeth Shown Mills, so I am attempting to reformat these citations properly. I am still a beginner at this, so please bear with me.
