Ovalem or Gvalem Gard in Tysnes.

[gj05502]

I found the baptism (#30) for a Sussanna on 13 Jul 1822 which shows parents are Hendrich Meyer Ovalem? and Marie Benedicta. No patronym, so I'm at a loss what to look for in the 1801 census. There isn't a Gard by the name of Ovalem or Gvalem or Gralem.
Does anyone have information on this family or Gard? Bygdebok?
Any assistance in direction or answers would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Those links don't seem to work or at least for me. I believe I found Marie Benedicte living at Walde in 1801 census.
I am trying to find Hendrik Meier Qvalem in the 1801 census and anything else about him(the farm Qvalem or Kvalem?) There are people living where Marie Benedicte live that have the same middle or last name and one is born at Qvalem.
Could you tell me who the nine children were and their birthyears if that is in the bygdebok. I found Susanna born 1822 and Marie Benedicta in 1824. 7 more?
Thanks,
David

I found one Hendrich Meyer 16 years old in 1801 in Bergen.
His grandfather was "giæstgiver" in Godøsundet, Tysnes

I think Elisabet Margrethe Qvalejem is Hendrich`s grandmother.

Thanks so much for all that data. Is Hendrik Qvalem born in another district? I can't figure out which Hendrik fits from the 1801 census of Tysnes so maybe he isn't from there?
What would Ølve mean?
Oops, I seem to have missed some posts as I see them below while I am replying to you.
I will have to print it off and look at it much further. You seem to have answered my questions.
Thank you so much.

I'm not sure if that link worked but I don't see a Marie Benedicte just a Marie. The only Marie I see on your link is
#7 Marie Fyren Finde Christine Pritzier Tienestefolk 31 Ugift Nyder pension af post cassen
Here is the link I think she is:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... k=381#ovre

381 Marie Benedicte Hans datter 17 Ugift
Living at Walde

It is starting to make more sense now about Hendrik. How far is Bergen from Tysnes?

Just as an aside, there are some very different names in the census records that I haven't seen in other parts of Norway
Pritzier
Svarz
Fyren Finde
Wolf
Mejer (Meyer)
which seem more of a German influence??? Is that area influenced by trade a lot or where would those kinds of names come from. Any links that might explain this, if it is different, would be informative.
Thanks so much to everyone for their assistance.

In 1801 cencus from Bergen Bergen
Amt Sokn Gard

Førenamn Etternamn Hushaldstill. Alder Sivilstand Yrke Kjønn

I think he is working in Bergen. Bergen is close to Tysnes.

Ølve is inside Tysnes. The county is Kvinnherad.

If you google : Hanseatene and Bergen you will find info about Bergen.
Det tyske Hansaforbundet had office in bergen from 1360-1754.

Thanks so much for the information. I am having a bit of a hard time connecting the families.
My guess is that Olaus Hougs is Hendrichs father?
Not sure "His grandfather was "giæstgiver" in Godøsundet, Tysnes" means. Who is his grandfather?
Under what Parish/town in 1801 would Ølve come under? And if I wanted to find Hendrick's baptism where should I look?
Thank you for your time and efforts to direct me. The names don't follow patronyms, so a bit harder to figure out. I should be thankful I don't have to look for Ole Olsen!

Hello !
I have looked in the Tysnes book, no.3, and I have found Hendrich parents on the farm Godøysundet.
You will find his birth in Kvinnherad kirkebok for 1778.1811.
Henrik Meyer 1785-1852 son to
Henrik Johannesson Kvalem 1748-1806 married 1773 to Sofie Larsdatter Gåte, Hatlestrand, Kvinnherad, they lived there and Henrik worked in Ølve. and for a while they lived at Husa, Ølve.
Henrik Johannesson Kvalem 1748-1806 son to:
Johannes Monson "Qvalheim", Manger 1709-1783 and married 1742 to Elisabet Margrete Meyer, Bergen born 1715 and lived in 1801.

There are written much more in the book .
As far as I can see you have relative in Tysnes today. If you want contact with them please let me know.

Anne

[gj05502]

Wow, thank you. Olve is a town or Sokn (or are those equal?).
In this:
Sofie Larsdatter Gåte, Hatlestrand, Kvinnherad,
it says she was born at Gate? or residence at the time of marriage, after marriage.
Hatlestand is part of the town/area of Kvinnherad?

[dn09189]

This is not my direct family but a relative to the person. I will send this info onto him.
