Morbekk Farm, Dyngvoll, Vandse-Lista, 1813
I am looking for the birth record of Reinert G. (Torjeson), who is said to have been born in Oct 1813 at the Morbekk farm, Dyngvold, Vandse-Lista. I suspect that Morbekk may be a subfarm of Dyngvoll and that Vandse-Lista may be also known as the parish of Vanse. However, on the Digital Archives, I c...

Re: Parents of Abrahamine og Christian Museus
Thanks so much, Torodd, especially for the marriage record!! She married at quite a young age, and it was quite an age difference.
Yes, the other people with this last name might be relatives, although from an entirely different fylke.
