1865 census: Clara and the little brother Otto Aas were born in Kristiania/Christiania, which for a while was the name for Oslo, and then it was switched back to Oslo which was the original name.
The parents, however, came from Aas Parish. Which is why when they moved to the big city, they used that as a last name. They are in an apartment house with other families. Johannes is a Wagon man. - guessing he drove wagon, hauled things.
