Anders Thoresen, born 1824-33 Bergum, Skrautval

[gj01576]

I would be grateful for any help in finding the birth/christening of Anders THORESEN born Bergum, Skrautval, Nord-Aurdal, Valdres, Oppland, Norway, sometime between 1824 and 1833.

Anders may have been christened Kristian Anders THORESEN, but was known as Anders. He is supposed to have been given the "christening name" Andreas (not sure if that makes a difference, or not).

Anders emigrated to New Zealand in 1872.

The information I have on him and his family is here:

Thank you.

Thank you! This is a huge breakthrough.

I see that Anders THORESEN was christened in Oslo. Does this mean that Anders parents also moved to Oslo? (If so, I think I may have found some siblings.)

[Gry Onarheim Dahlmo]

He was christened in Nord-Aurdal.

I found him in the church records, moving to Christiania (Oslo) 21.09.1844.

Midldle of the page right side,here's the link.

On the next page I find Ragnild Thoresdatter Bergum, emigrating to America. May a sibling ?
