Harald Søren Storaker writes on June 15, 2016: "In 1865 Andreas was 20 and had left home. He was a "tjenestekarl" = servant by the "fogd" = bailiff. He was son of Thor Andersen Tandberg-moen: http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01038084003274 Thor Andersen was a "husmann", a cotter. Thor Andersen was born April 14 1817, son of Andreas Olsen and Anne Sørensdatter Tandberg-eie: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070313660668 I see no relation to Håkon Tandberg (1795-1865). Probably Andreas Olsen in 1801 census: http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01058270000485. Maybe Anne Sørensdatter: http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01058270004165
