Jon Bersvendsen and Ingeborg Jonasdotter, circa 1820

[gj11106]

Malvik Parish Register 1823-1831 is said to show that "Jonas Jons, Kinset" was born June 25, 1820 the son of maiden Ingeborg Jonasdotter, Kinset and bachelor Jon Bersvendsen Stavsmark.

Can we find more information on Jon Bersvendsen Stavsmark and Ingeborg Jonasdotter?

Did they ever get married? Did they raise Jonas together? Were there other family members? When and where did Ingeborg and Jon Bersvendsen die?

Jonas was borned in 1829, not 1820. (Church register)

Thank you - my family's notes do indeed say Jonas was born in 1829, not 1920.

I appreciate your quick response and thank you for the information. But, I now have another question.

The Malvik Bygdebok says Jonas lived with his father and new family. My family notes (which they say come from a Malvik Parish register) say that "Widower Jonas Jonsen, aged 26¼, and the maiden Christianna Thomesdr, aged 25, got married in Malvik Church on Nov. 15, 1855."

When did Jonas first marry and what happened to his first wife?

[gj11106]

Thank you very much for all the information. I do have one more question.
Jon Bersvendsen married Andrea Olsdatter Tapper and you say Jon's son lived with them.
Did Jon and Andrea have any children? And when & where did Jon die?

Thank you very much for all of your help and information. On this arkivverket page (about Jon's death, line 20, page 166), could you translate the line about Jon for me? I have tried Google translate, but must not be reading the handwriting correctly. Again, thank you.

Hello Margie!

"Hsmd" is shortening for "husmann". It means cotter or crofter. "Tømmermd" is shortening for "tømmermand", in english carpenter.
