Is anyone able to read read the birthplace listed in the marriage record for Christian Andersen, on 5 Jun 1857 in Borge, Østfold? I'm trying to find his birth entry and parents (father listed as Anders Christensen) in parish and census records. Kildeinformasjon: Østfold fylke, Borge i Borge, Ministe...

thanks for the quick read..

I need some help reading the Hjelmeland marriage record entry, 1833, entry #1 (direct link below). I think the brides name is Brithe Iversdr and that she married Knud Knudsen Brevig, but I'm not able to read the farm name listed for her there. Is someone able to read it, perhaps? Kildeinformasjon: R...

Thanks to you all for your very prompt responses, and especially to Sigmund, who has been helping me post these questions in the right place in the Forum. I think I now have sufficient information on Carl Tangen and "Larkendalen" to continue his family ancestry search.

Hi Rune-
Thanks very much for the information. The email address you provided does not seem to work for me (I tried [email protected] as well but that also failed) BS

I'm having difficulty identifying the parents of Ingebret Olsen Wold/Vold who lived at Nedre Vold, Hof, Vestfold most of his life. Does anyone have access to a bygdebok or other source that might show who his parents are or where they came from? Here's what I have found from parish records and censu...

I need help identifying the correct parents of Thuri Ellingsdtr with the names, Elling Olsen and Sigri Olsdtr. There is marriage record for Elling Olsen/Sigri Olsdtr on 06 Mar 1842, which says he was then 32 (b abt 1810 in Sand) and that she was then 28 (born abt 1814 in Ruud). Entry #3: Kildeinform...

Leif- Thanks for looking. This Andreas Dam is a real puzzle for me, and his name is so similar to those in another family that are my direct ancestors (in the referenced earlier forum entries) that it seems logical that there might be a connection, but I cannot find many traces of him at all. Regard...

I'm looking for more information on Andreas Stats Nicolaisen Dam (Kleppe), his family and homeplace, and possibly a family connection to the Stats Nikolaisen Dams family mentioned in several earlier Forum entries (m, m) Does anyone have access to the Rogaland bygdebok for Kleppe gard or other record...

Ruth & Gaute,

Thanks to you both for your help. Both the Bygdebok and Debattforum information are much appreciated.

I'm looking for information on Josef Josefsen Bokneberg, his parents and siblings, if any in the Bokn or Time bbks or other such source, if someone might have access to them. I believe he was born in 1765 in Bokn, based on his death entry 27 Oct 1840 at Tronæs Øvre, Høyland, Rogaland, Norway, age 75...

Laila, Gunnar, Vigdis (and others that may have looked at my request)- Thanks for your efforts and suggestions. I realized that I might not find Karen Gulbransdatter at the Gjerdrum farms in the bygdebok, and I also did find several Karen/Kari Gulbrandsdatters in the parish records in the right time...

Rolf- Thanks very much for the quick response. Does that mean, if she was alive, that she got permission to delay the final probate for her husband, Niels Raatkier, who had already died some years before in 1730? If so, this would it seem to be an unusual procedure for probate handling, but would al...

Source information: Østfold county, Fredrikstad by, Skifteprotokoll 4 , 1720-1759, oppb: Statsarkivet i Oslo. (page 195b) Permanent page-link: m --------- I don't read old-style cursive Norwegian very well, and this skifte entry has me quite confused. Would someone perhaps read though it and help me...

Harald-
That explains why I could not find the name in Norwegian farm name or parish searches.

Thanks for your quick response.

Could someone perhaps help me read the father's farm name (or prestegj.?) in entry # 9 (6 Nov 1823 birth record for Ludvig Trevesen)? Father's name is shown as Ludvig Trevesen fra R______ (?)
