The landscape is generally mellow and unlike Norway's wild western edge." Information provided by the community historical society in Grue says that Ole was born on Gotland, Grue. It shows that he was christened 2 August 1846 in Grue kirke and that he married Karen on 22 April 1883 in Grue kirke. According to Alison Andrus, Ole's parents were Halvor and Oleane (Olson) Tostensen, who married on 21 April 1845 in Grue. She said Oleana was born 27 November 1823, the daughter of Ole Olsen and Anne Pederson. Alison's research showed that his paternal grandparents were Torsten Halvorsen and Mari Pedersdatter. Ole's mother Oleana died when he was only 8 yrs. old. Alison said Ole adopted the last name of "Enger" after he emigrated to the U.S. She found the information on his parents in the baptism and marriage records for Norway at Familysearch.org. Wilbur Hanson Kalb says that Ole and Karen came from an Enger farm and a Nielsrud farm that were only a few miles from each other. He said the two farms were across the Glomma River from Grue. Wilbur also says that according to research on the Engers at Familysearch.org, the Enger line has been traced back to "a farmer named Lars Olsson who is believed to have been born in 1620, the year the Pilgrims landed at the Plymouth Rock. Lars Olsson was from the Skjelermud farm. That's still in the parish of Grue, believe it or not. And it's on the southeastern side of the lake, Hukusjoen, and only 3.3 miles west of Enger and 2 miles northwest of Nielsreid" Wilbur added that "they had been in Grue for so long that they thought the Huku was the sea!!! That's now that lake got its name, Hukuskjoen --- The Huku Sea"! Death Notice: The Oakes Times, Thursday, March 12, 1908.
