Olena Olsdtr. died 1866

Legg inn av gj08299 » 15. januar 2009 kl. 3.46

I am currently trying to find information on Olena Olsdtr. who died April 11 1866. This is the info that I have in Norwegian. I have translated it into english and know what it means. If anyone can help me find information on Olena it would be greatly helpful.


(1798-1845, sk.1801) Erik Anveson, Haga (8.7.9), d. 16/3 1867.

Gift m. Olena Olsdtr., Bokn, d. 11/4 1866, 83 år. [Sjå mtl. 1801, Bokn sokn, Grønestad, Knud Pederson: Olena Olsdtr., 17 år. Folketeljinga 1865, Haga: 81 år, f. Falnes prgj.]

I have already found her in the 1865 census but it does not give her age. So I am trying to find out when she was born and who her parents are and any information on them.

I have found a possible match in the ministerial book of the parish of Håland (the second last paragraph on the right hand side). If this is correct, the year of birth for Olena is 1789, not 1788. Furthermore, the mother's name is Ane, but that may be short for Johanna(?).

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=15808&idx_id=15808&uid=ny&idx_side=-259

I'm not an expert of interpreting these pre-1800 texts, but this is what I get:
Døbt ved Sole 7de Trin: Olene Olsdat: Gimre. Mod: Ane. Test: Ingebor ibid, Jens Stangeland ???, Engebrigt Gimre. Pig: Karen Olsdat: Tiore

This should mean something like: "Baptised in Sola, 7. sunday after Trinitatis [by my calculations July 26th 1789]. Olene Olsdaughter Gimre. Mother: Ane. Godfather/mother/Witnesses (I don't have an accurate term): Ingebor ibid (means same as previous), Jens Stangeland ???, Engebrigt Gimre, maid Karen Olsdaughter Tiore."[/quote]

Thanks for that info. I am still not sure if that is her. I have found her death record and was wondering if you can help.. I am not sure what it means... here is the link:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-257

She is number 12

Is that record saying she was from Hage? Or is that stating she died in haga. I am trying to track down her birth in the parish records and I can't find her anywhere. Here is another record I found for one of her children...does this give any clue to where she was born?

http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-70

He is number 15.

I am going crazy trying to find her. It is driving me nuts. Thanks for all your help again.

Hello :)

She lived in Haga when she died. Top of the column says oppholdsted (residence).

Mvh

Hello :)

Tjore is in Aust Agder fylke, but it is a small place so I have not found it on the map yet.
I want to be sure before I give an answer :) . Maybe some local people know the answer? It is situated somewhere between Grimstad and Arendal.

Mvh

Hello :)

It should be outside Grimstad, but I have looked it up and there where many different records, so I think the best thing to do is ask here in DIS.
Mvh

The former parish of Håland (split into Sola and Madla in 1930) consisted of, from what I can see, four churches, Sole (=Sola), Malde (=Madla), Haaland and Tiore (=Tjora). So I'm quite certain that we're in the correct area.

I have read through the Ministerial book of Håland between the years 1787 and 1789, and my best guess is the one I have referred to in my first posting.

EDIT: I see now that I used the birth date from Bokn Bygdebok. 1866 minus 83 is 1783... but sadly it didn't help much.

EDIT2: I have also checked the confirmation records from 1794 through 1807. The only Olene that showed up was in 1807, and is probably the previously mentioned born 1789.

It looks like I have to give up on this one. But here she is in the 1801 cencus:

Hence, the birth year is probably 1784, which is also consistent with the 1865 cencus and the death record.

I just realised that I have missed an important bit of information in your first post. It says that Olene was born in Falnes parish. Then I regret to tell you that church in Falnes burnt down around 1840 and almost all of the records with it. All of the records from Bokn before 1841 is gone.

It's frustrating, I know, I have a big part of my ancestors from Bokn. There may be other sources, but that's far to advanced for a novice like me...

Well i do appreciate everybody helping me with all the info that you have tracked down and the time it took to find it. This business is very time consuming. I swear I have spent days looking through hundreds of pages trying to find this women. I will just have to trust the 1801 and 1865 census. Thanks again for all the help..
