Godparent lookup needed in Skoger

[gj03752]

I have hit a dead end in my ancestor research, and need some extra information about some baptisms in Skoger 1784-1796.

I believe these baptisms are the nieces and nephews of my ancestor.

As Skoger records are not yet online for this period, would someone be able to lookup these baptisms for me and provide a list of the godparents.

The parents are Niels Gulbrandsen and Helene/Elene Rasmusdtr:

Kirsti Nielsdtr. Bap. 1-2-1784.
Gunild Nielsdtr. Bap. 24-2-1788.
Gunild Nielsdtr. Bap. 2-5-1790.
Gunild Nielsdtr. Bap. 18-11-1792.
Ellen Nielsen. Bap. 17-1-1796.

Thank You.

Hi Chris!

I think I found your people in Census 1801 - not in Skoger but in Bragernes county and Strømsø parish (who belongs to Drammen city by now) nearby Skoger.
Take a look at this:

And here is the youngest daughter Aase in Familysearch:

Event(s):
Christening: 12 Oct 1800 Place: Drammen, Buskerud, Norway

Parents:
Father: Niels GULBRANSEN

Source Information:
Batch Number: C423902
Source Dates: 1739 - 1814

As you see, this is from chrurchrecords in Tangen who in that period belonged to Strømsø parish.
To look for them I would look in Strømsø/Tangen parish - but they are not online yet either

Dear Liv,

Thank you for your reply, and for the extra information you have found for me.

Let me ask therefore if this is the correct forum to ask for someone to look up the baptisms for me and supply a list of the godparents?

Should I post my message in another forum or is this the best place?

Are you able to look up the church book for me?

I still need the list of godparents to prove a link with Niels Gulbrandsens brother.

Yours Sincerely,

Chris.

Hi Chris!

This is absolute the right forum - both Strømsø, Tangen, Bragernes and Skoger now belongs to Drammen.

Are you able to look up the church book for me?

Sorry - I am not able to do a lookup on anything else than you can do by yourself at the moment - my leg is broken so I have to trust the Internet these days

But....I am sure anyone can do a lookup for you!
