Hi I would like some help deciphering this baptism record: SAH, Hof prestekontor, Parish register (official) no. 6, 1822-1841, p. 284-285 Quick link: m Here is what I have so far: 55 | 10 Apr | 20 Apr | Martine ?????? | uekte | ??? ??? Peder Olsen Brenna ??? og Oleane Pedersd ??????? Ole Jonsen og E...

Thanks Paul! Thanks Eric! That is a interesting essay; ...and Ole Arild Vesthagen's website, m, has a lot of other useful information for me! Almost half of my Gran/Brandbu lines lead back to ancestors he has written about. Thanks Hans! I had only been able to find information up to their marriage r...

Brudgrom Hans Nielsson Egge is described as "Soldat ved HEr Major Langelands Compagnie", on his 27 Oct 1729 marriage record. I am not sure how to interpret that. Is he a Danish soldier from a compagnie from the Danish island of Langeland, or is he a local soldier under the command of a Major Langela...

Tusen takk Åsbjørg og Paul!

I think this is the marriage record for Ole Sjurson/Siurson Lillebaten and Mari/Maren Arnesdtr (frå Uglo). I can pick out their names, but that is about all I can decipher. What else does it say? The record end with the word "ugule". Is that Mari/Maren's farm? Sogn og Fjordane county, Hafslo, Parish...

Hi I know very little Norse, but from what I can interpret using a dictionary, page 473 of Laberg's Hafslo bygdebok says that Anfinn Person had Høgi until 1730, when Lars Torbjørnsen took it over. It then say Lars dies in 1733, and his widow, Siri , marries Johannes Finnson . Siri dies in 1742. Joha...

Thanks!!! Laberg's HAFSLO bygdebok, page 473, talks about Lars Torbiørnsen getting Høgi in 1730, then dying in 1733. His widow, Siri Anfinnsdtr., marries Johannes Finnson, who then takes over Høgi. Siri dies in 1742, which is probably why Johannes is appointed guardian of Lars T.'s son Lars, after T...

Thanks Leif Erik!!! Does it mention a wife? or other relatives: siblings, other offspring or grandchildren? Farms they are living at, (besides Høgi)? who got Marifjæren? Surnames were unusual back then. Was he from another country? or is Skaffer a description or occupation? The word is not in my Hau...

Hi Can anyone help me with the 25 January 1744 probate record of Torbiørn Skaffar, from Marifjøra, Luster, SFJ ? Perhaps a short summary of the top paragraph, with names of relatives that I have missed. Does it say the date he died, his age, etc...? m page 338a Is Marie Larsdatter his widow? Are Ram...

Tusen takk!

I am having a hard time deciphering the birth record of Engebret Andersen, bapt on 3 Dec 1792. His mother is Mari Johansd. from Løvhougen. (I would guess she is Skogfinner. Does anyone know her Finnish surname?) I can make out Engebret's name, his mother's name, and that he was uægte(illegitimate). ...

Is Anlaug Halvorsdatter, 2nd wife of Olav Gjermundson from Nipen, the same person as Anlaug, daughter of Halvor Eivindson & Asgjerd Gunleiksdatter ? Telemark county, Seljord, Parish register (official) nr. I 7 (1755-1800), Chronological list 1765, page 39. m I find various genealogies on the web...

Thanks Karl - very insightful! That looks like it is probably the right Oline Olsd., but it might be impossible to verify. (maybe a job for DNA???) I found that family in the 1875 Census. m The family would be Forest Finns. It looks like the mother, Marthe Kristiansdtr, was born on Flagen, in Våler....

I found a few more things; I think this is Even Olsen and his widowed mother, Anlou Halvorsdtr, in the 1815 Seljord Census: m Even's name appears to be crossed out. I looked through all Death records 1809-1815 for Seljord, and its annex parishes, but did not see a record for Ole G. This might be Anl...

Thanks Ole!
Thanks Kjetil!

Many things to look up tomorrow.

Thanks Karl! I had only checked Digitalarchivet.

So it shows her, her husband and their child, living with his parents. Unfortunately, no clues to where she was prior to 1875.

Thanks Ole!

This mystery had been puzzling me for several years now.

I first find her in her marriage record to Ole Olsen Kvernmoen, 26 Feb 1875. Hedmark county, Åsnes, Parish register (official) nr. 0 (1870-1889), Marriage records 1875, page 220. m Åsnes 1875 Census hasn't been put online yet. I found her and her husband & children in the 1900 & 1910 Censuse...

Thanks Arild!

I can now see that the farm listed in Eli's baptism is Nordby.

I still don't see a baptism record for a Marte, with Father Peder, on those 2 pages. I am guessing the record is in this dense bunch of words:

Let me know if it is a different record.

Det er nok rette mann du har. Han døde 26.04.1794 på Tåråskverna, 36 år gammel. Foreldrene Peder Olsen Tårnby og Marte Pedersdatter Bredalen ble gift 8. juni 1746 i Våler. Peder Olsen født 1724 Tårnby som sønn av Ola Brynjulfsson og Sigrid Pedersdatter. Marte døpt 20.04.1721 som datter av Peder Ska...
