===================================
The Mormons let you enter just a last name and father's name in their IGI cillection if you enter a batch number. I tried it. These look like Maren's siblings:

1. Maren ERIKSDATTER - Vital Records Index
Gender: F Birth/Christening: 01 Mar 1826 Hof, Hedmark, Norway

2. Maren ERIKSDATTER WALBORG - Vital Records Index
Gender: F Birth/Christening: 26 Oct 1822 Hof, Hedmark, Norway (This is her again, not a sibling)

3. Ole ERIKSEN - Vital Records Index
Gender: M Birth/Christening: 17 Apr 1830 Hof, Hedmark, Norway

4. Oliana ERIKSDATTER - Vital Records Index
Gender: F Birth/Christening: 24 May 1828 Hof, Hedmark, Norway


Her mother looks like Wolberg or Volberg, Ol's Daughter, or Ol's Daughter Wolberg/Volberg.

You can borrow a copy of th eoriginal microfilm for $3.50 or so through your local Family History Center. I'd strongly suggest you do so, and if at all pissible, have someone who reads Norse help you with it.

Here he is getting married, probably, so there were some siblings before Maren on a different batch, probably.

If Hedmark is a county, this fellow is the right age and lives in the right county:

==================================

But - The Swedes and Norse only used about 8 names for their sons and another 8 for their daughters. 1/64th of the men born there in the last 300 years were Michael, Eric's son.
