I am looking for proof or evidence that they either are the same as, or not the same as the following:

Father: Ole Arnesen Brandvoldsløkken (b. 14 Mar 1825, Alvdal, Norway - d. Unknown)
Mother: Marit/Mary/Marta Olsdatter Sørhus (b. 10 Dec 1824, Alvdal, Norway - d. 11 Oct 1903, Virginia, Union, South Dakota)
married: 16 Nov 1857, Alvdal, Norway
Emigrated to USA in 1858. In America they first used the familyname Arnesen/son and later at least from 1870 Anderson.
They got 6 children:
1. Ole Andreas Anderson (b.28 May 1857, Alvdal, Norway - 6 Dec 1941, Union, South Dakota)
2. Mali (later Mary) Anderson (b. 11 Aug 1859, likely in Ohio. Baptized in Spring Grove, Houston, Minnesota. d. 9 Apr 1889, Calliope, Sioux, Iowa). Married Jacob Rohr Davis (1857-1944)
3. Martin Anderson (b. 1 Feb 1861, Decorah, Winneshiek Iowa, baptized in Mabel, Fillmore County, Minnesota. d. 17 Jun 1930, Logan, Sioux, Iowa)
4. Isabell Anderson (b. 23 Nov 1864 - d. 4 Apr 1940, Mason City, Cerro Gordo, Iowa). My guess the same as Ingeborg. Different censuses rather suggest she was born in in 1862, than the 1900 census saying 1864. Married to Julius Hermann Hartwig (1866-1916)
5. Caroline Anderson (b: ca 1865, Iowa - Unknown Death). My guess same as number 2.
6. John Anderson (b. ca 1868 - Unknown Death)

The obituary of Martin Anderson (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/126657384?memorialUpdated=Yes), which state he was born in 1862 and not 1861, says they was in Jackson County, Minnesota during the New Ulm Massacre, so they returned to eastern Iowa. I would call the are of Winneshiek north east, but since it says returned to, I guess it supposed to be in the Winneshiek area, before they later moved to southern Iowa.

In 1860 the family lived in Spring Grove, Houston, Minnesota: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/7667/4232724_00077/45522284?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/59694483/person/36048435222/facts/citation/222569264693/edit/record

In 1870 they lived in Lincoln, Madison County, Iowa:

In 1880 they lived the same place: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/6742/4240925-00179/47793941?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/59694483/person/36048435222/facts/citation/220726778359/edit/record

Marit is widow in 1900, living with her daughter Isabell in Virginia, Union, South Dakota: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/7602/4120605_00275/59938084?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/59694483/person/36048435222/facts/citation/220726778977/edit/record

Regarding the father Ole Arneson, I also have a few sources I wonder could be the same person:
1. US Civil War Draft Registrations Records: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/1666/32178_620305173_0039-00020?pid=2919070&backurl=https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?ti%3D0%26indiv%3Dtry%26db%3Dconsolidatedlistsofcivilwarreg%26h%3D2919070&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&usePUBJs=true, [Ole Arnesen] ]stating he reside in St. Charles, Floyd, Iowa in 1863

2. US. Revolutionary War Pensioners - Invalid Pensioners: [Ole A. Anderson]

I have more information regarding the children Ole, Mali, Martin and Isabell, but it will be a long post if I share absolutely everything.
