[dn26520]

Christopher Michaelsen of Finden and Ingeborg Gulbransdatter of Finden were engaged on 5 November 1724, on page 163 in the parish records: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 860610.jpg and they were married on 29 December 1724 on page 166 of the parish records: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 860612.jpg
What I would appreciate very much is any information as to who their parents may have been and what farms they may have been from originally. Thank you.

According to the bygdebok from Torpa ,Nordre Land Boka om Land ,Kristoffer Mikkelsen was born abt 1687 and from Rudstaden in Nordsinni, Nordre Land ,and died 1744 at Vestre (western) Finni/Finden farm in Torpa. Ingeborg Gulbrandsdatter Finni was born abt 1704 at Vestre Finni and was the daughter of Gulbrand Haraldsen Felde and Birgitte Syversdatter.
Gulbrand Haraldsen was born abt 1666-1668 and was from Nordre (northern) Felde farm in Torpa and died in 1712. Birgitte Syversdatter was remarried after Gulbrand died to Elling Taraldsen Jørandli ,also from Torpa. Don`t know the dates on Elling and Birgitte.

Gulbrand was the son of Harald Frikksen ,born abt 1630 who was farmer at Felde in Torpa. Harald was previously married to Guri Torgersdatter Hasli from Snertingdal who died abt 1660. Harald remarried after that to Gulbrand`s mother who`s name is unknown.

Kritoffer Mikkelsen was the son of Michel Erichsen and his second wife, Anna Ellefsdatter, according to Michel Erichsen’s probate written at Rudstaden on 24 February 1698: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 611872.jpg
There is an Ellef living at Løchenn in the 1647 landed property tax under fulde gaarder: http://da2.uib.no/cgi-win/WebBok.exe?sl ... &storleik=
This Ellef is not listed in the 1664 or 1666 census. Could this be her father? Also, there is a probate record for a Gulbrand Olsen at Løken in 1665. His widow is a Sigri Ellefsdatter, is this Anna’s sister: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 611433.jpg

Frikk is a very unusual name. Is Harald Frikksen the son of Friig of Wjenn (Vien?). He is listed at the hallfue gaarder in the 1647 landed property tax: http://da2.uib.no/cgi-win/WebBok.exe?sl ... &storleik=
He is not listed in the 1664 or 1666 census. I do believe Harald Frikksen has a brother Niels of Sedal listed in the 1664 census: http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webce ... =5281#ovre
He is also listed in the 1666 census: http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webce ... =5932#ovre

Any information that is provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
