Takk Steinar og Håvard,

I took a closer look at the 1801 census and saw that Brønnil Olsdatter, daughter of Ole Larsen and Gunil Jonsdatter was living on the leichnæsset farm, which looks to be a smaller part of the Hevnschiellen farm. The marriage record lists Brønnil's residence as leichnæsset ...

Hei alle,

I'm looking for a little help in determining which Brønnil Olsdatter married Johannes Jonsen on 19 October 1808.
Their marriage record can be found here:

It shows that Johannes Jonsen was living at Vorgbugden and Brønnil was living at Leichnaessen.

There are 2 Brønnil ...

Thank you, Matthias.

Hei alle,

I'm having difficulty deciphering the name of Ole Sivertsen's far in the marriage record. I'm pretty sure his father's name starts with Sivert, but I'm not sure how to read the rest of the name.

His marriage record is here:

In case the link doesn't work, the record is located ...

Takk for du svar, Steinar.

Can I ask you another question?

Generally speaking, is the bridegroom's and bride's place of residence in the marriage record their birth place or is it where they are currently living at the time of their betrothal or marriage?

Vennlig helsen.
Jay

Hei alle,

I think Niels Joensen, who was married to Anne Nielsdatter in October 1779, in Stadsbygd Prestegjeld

I'm having difficulty in reading the place associated with him in the marriage ...

Thanks, Paul.

Hi,

I've identified a gggg grandfather (how would you say that in Norwegian, oldeoldeoldeoldroldefaren?) who lived on the Øie farm in Melhus Prestegjeld. The 1801 census describes him as huusmand med jord, which I think means that he leased a cottage from the owner of the farm. The census also ...

Hi Bente,

This information will be very helpful to find my ancestors from this area.
My wife, daughter, and I were in Norway in August and found it to be a very beautiful country.
We hope to visit again in a couple years and visit Hedmark county as well as Trondheim. There wasn't enough time ...

Hi Torodd,

Maybe you can help me understand how Norgeskart.no finds places.

By entering Løvika, Agdenes it does indeed show the place Løvika.

I'm a little confused, however. Isn't Løvika a part of Lensvik parish?

Or is Agdenes a geographical area that includes Løvika?

Regards.
Jay ...

My Norwegian is not that good. But I study it almost every day. Reading the article will help me understand the family's life a little better and hopefully improve my Norwegian.

Thanks for your help. (Tusen Takk)

Thank you so much for your help.

That is something I didn't consider. I think I understand from your replies is that the Løvik farm is a part of the Størdal farm within the Lensvik parish boundaries and that this family crossed the fjord to have their children baptized in the Rissa chapel.

Do ...

Hi,

I'm hoping someone who is familiar with Rissa parish farms can identify a location for me.

There is a record for Ole Olsen, baptized 29 January 1837, in the Rissa church, that shows his parent's (Ole Sivertsen and Andrea Nilsdatter) farm as Størdal. I'm able to locate that farm within the ...
