Søren Rasmussen Gjessing

[kumodoke]

Hello Listers,

I am looking for the ancestors of my ancestor Søren Rasmussen Gjessing, born estimated around 1700.

Because of his name he must have been born in Denmark

Søren Rasmussen Gjessing was a shipscapitain and he died in 1763 on board of a ship at a journey from Kristiansand to Dublin.

Søren Rasmussen Gjessing has lived in Fjære, Grimstad, Norway. He was married estimated around 1730 to Aaslou Bentsdr (I suppose she has been a Norwegian woman, I have no information about her).
Four children of them are known.The names of his children are: Andreas (born 1731), Kirstine Margrethe (born 1733) Rasmus (born 1736), Kristian (born 1739) all born in Fjære, Grimstad, Norway. They have lived in Fjære and in Kristiansand.

In Norway there is no information about his familybackground. .

Can somebody please help me?

From which area in Denmark could he came from?
Where is Denmark are locations with the name Gjessing, Gjesing, Giessing located?
Does anybody know sites of skifteprotokoller in Denmark in area's called Gjesing, Gjessing, Giessing?
How and where can I start this investigation?
Has anybody Søren Rasmussen Gjessing born around 1700 in his or her pedigree?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Maybe not Danish afterall?
Today there's 395 by the name of Gjessing listed in the Norwegian phone lists.
Most of them live in Trøndelag and in the eastern parts of Norway.

But maybe there's a place Gjessing or something similar with another spelling around Grimstad?

[Christina Wilson]

I have Giessings too--but no Søren. The various spellings I've come
across include, Gissing, Gjissing, Gjessing, Giessing, and Giersing.

My Giessings start with Niels Mortensen Giessing who married Maren
Jonasdatter (Wærum) on 6 Oct 1734 in the Trinitatis Kirke in Copenhagen.
He was a carver. It could be he was from Giessing too.

Sorry, but no. All Gjessing relatives comes from the district of
Gjesing in Skanderborg.

The trouble is, there are so many Søren and Rasmus in that district in
the period of time and little are known about other sources for that
time period.

I think the only thing to do is visiting Viborg archive and also the
National archive in Copenhagen to find other sources for that period
than just the one transcripted and available on the net.

I also descend from Rasmus Hansen/Hans Rasmussen Gjessing line that
came to Vestfold, but there are too many Søren around in the the
district to say who is who. And the captain lives around 50 year later
after the Ramnes-Gjessings family came to Ramnes, Vestfold.

A possibility could also be, he is a grandson. One record may be
interpreted like one grand uncle or great granduncle of the one who
came to Ramnes had the name Søren. That one lives around 100 year
earlier than the one who came to Grimstad. Maybe a connection, But
highly speculative.

So, until someone has visited the real archives and has done an
extensive work on finding who is who, I think the OP should accept
facts at this moment, his parentship is unknown.

If this is so important to you, I urge you to hire a professional
genealogist to do full searches of the available archives that might
shed a light of who he was, and also ask him/her to do research also
in Kristiansand archive, and most possible, also at National archive
in Oslo.

Hello Jan,

Thank you. Yes I have heard of this Rasmus Hansen who died in Vestfold. But
it is diffucult to proof that they have been related. And in Skanderborg in
the area Gjesing almost every person has been called Søren Rasmussen or
Rasmus Sørensen. Nevertheless, this might come closer, because of his name
and the names of everybody there in Skanderborg.
But also in Randers there has been a lot of people with the name Gjessing.

Thank you really very much for giving me this information, because I did not
know yet about the Grandparent of Rasmus Hansen Gjessing, who has died in
Vestfold

Grand Parents
4. Rasmus Hansen Gjessing, born in Skaderborg, Aarhus, Danmark, died
1695 in Skaderborg, Aarhus, Danmark. Skifte (343) 13.11.1695,
fol.74. E: Kirsten Pedersdatter. B: Rasmus i Skanderborg, Hans sst,
Peder i Gjesing, Anne g.m. Peder Lauridsen, Anne g.m. Anders
Lauridsen i Gjesing. He married Kirsten Pedersdatter.

E probably means wife, I suppose
What means B? (Brother?)
And what means sst?
And Peder i Gjesing? was he a brother too?
And who married Kristen Pedersdatter?


Kind regards

Reina

I will try to give you my understanding of yuor questions:

E means Enke -> Widow
B means Barn -> Children
Rasmus, Hans, Peder, Anne and Anne are his children.
Peder i Gjesing -> Peder is living in Gjesing and he is the child
Hans sst -> Hans living at the same place (Samme STed in danish)
Rasmus Hansen Gjessing was married to Kristen Pedersdatter

Hello Christina,

Yes, that's indeed the problem that they could have the same name, but not
familyrelated.

In Norway too the descendants of Søren Rasmussen Gjessing have been called:
Gissing, Giissing, Gising, Giersing, Gielsing etc. It was probably a
difficult name.

And the difficulty is that the so called familyname probably refers to the
area from where all these families came from.

Thanks for your answer.

Kind regards
Reina
