Naming
Farm of birth is unknown. Given name is Klaus, but usually spelled Claus. Father's name is Halvor. Based on Given-Patronymic-Farm pattern, his name would have been Klaus Halvorsen [unknown].
Based on family lore, the family lived at the Kjerringvoll farm during the birth of Claus' first several children. Location change based name change would have resulted in:
Klaus Halvorsen Kjerringvoll (Given-Patronymic-Farm)
Based on family lore, the family moved from the Kjerringvoll farm to Moholt prior to immigrating to the United States. Location change based name change would have resulted in:
Klaus Halvorsen Moholt (Given-Patronymic-Farm)
His name appears as Klaus Halvorsen on his marriage certificate and the 1875 Haldalen census; as Klaus Halvorsen Moholt in the 1900 Ålen census.
