There are many fewer records available at these early dates.   Some of the churches were burned and other records damaged in storage.  There is also great confusion with names due to the multiple use of the same name in the same region and time period.  Niels Olsen seems in the following census to be a farmer while his supposed father-in-law, Ole Olsen is a woodsman or forest worker. 
Elie/Eli Olsdatter is sometimes confused with Else Olsdatter thus giving a different line of ancestors. 

1752 June 11-  Baptism records of Løten church show Niel with his parents Ole Nielsen Aadalen and Marthe Halvorsdatter while living at Aadalen farm.  God parents or witnesses are Peder Johansen Trosthoel and fra Anne, Ole Bierske and Marthe Evensdatter, Kari Olsdatter Aadalen.
