[Thad Carlson]

Hello,

I am looking for a birth record for Anne Sophie Olsdatter to identify her parents, date of birth, and date of baptism. I believe she was born in Fåberg based on comments in her marriage record and in the birth record of her daughter Oline Marie. Here is the information I have.

Tolli Hansen, Police sergeant, No. 25, 29 years old and Anne Olsdatter, 25 ½ year, Faabro Spigerverk. I cannot read the parish records very well, but I received this information from The Norwegian Emigration Cetner (Stavanger).

Hello

Faabroe (Fåbro) has nothing to do with Faaberg.

Fåbro is by the Lysaker river which today divides the capital Oslo from the neighbour municipality Bærum which is west of Oslo.

The Lysaker river was in earlier times called Fåd.
(Fåbro literally means the bridge across the river Fåd)

And it would divide then between Aker parish and Asker parish.

May be this is your Anne in 1801?

According to the wedding record, Tollev is not a Police sergeant. He is an ordinary police constable with the number 25. I think you call it a police officer in USA. Perhaps he was promoted to sergeant later.

Hi.

Tollev was no policeman. He was a Dragon, rideing soldier. When Marthine was born, he is back as a nail-smith in Faabroe.

Sorry, I red his rank as "Byeconstabel" in the wedding record.

Thank you very much, Tove DJ. I will look in the Aker parish records to see if I can find her birth record.

Thank you Paul Johan and Anne Merete! I appreciate your better translation!

The Fåbrofossen waterfall is also called Granfossen. (Foss = waterfall)

The spigerverk ("nail works") was located by this waterfall.

I read his title as Overconstabel af 1ste Batterie in the marriage record.
And in the birth record of the daughter it is more clearly written: Overkonstabel af 1. Batt.

I am no expert on this, but in earlier days contabel was a military title (in the artillery).

Hello again, Tove

Do you know if Fåbro is on the Asker side of the Lysaker river, or is it on the Aker side? Thanks again for your help!
