Church book for Gjendal, Bakke, 1822

[gj09424]

I am looking for the birth of Peder Hanson, who is said to have been born at or in Gjendal, in Bakke on 25 Nov 1822. Parents are said to be Hans Torstensen and Anne Evensdtr.

I looked in Rygh and the 1801 and 1865 censuses for the farm and family, but to no avail.

Which church books should I be searching?

I guess one of these girls is Anna Evensdatter in the 1801 census. As you will notice this widow has 2 girls named Anna.

Thanks so much, Anne Lisbeth ~

How did you know which book to look in? I could not find the Gjendal farm anywhere...

A bit cheating

I searched first in Familysearch.org and found him there.

Thanks, again, Anne Lisbeth.

I also had tried Family Search first, but wasn't as good as you in finding the right person.....

Thanks so much!
