Thanks again. That still isn't working for me though. The one that I
have been using is http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/  Whether I use
Etternavn lik Toresen, or try Etternavn borjar på Tore and then check
the box for the 1174 Toresen when that page of boxes & surnames comes up
comes up, I get the very same counts per Fylke including 36 for Oslo.
Attempts to add a filter for year or Forenavn reduce the Oslo count to
zero. So I just went through those 36 Toresen hits for Oslo/Kristiania
and he was not there. It looks as though he really isn't in that
database at all.

At <http://digitalarkivet.uib.no>, try checking the box for "Tores" in stead of "Toresen". You the get 26 hits in Oslo / Kristiania. Otto Tores. born 1895 is hit number 19.

I don't know why one electronic source has the surname spelled out as "Toresen" why the other has it shortened to "Tores", as the entries in the electornic sources ought to be exactelly the same as in the original paper sources!
