Hello Rita, welcome to "Slektsforum".


The information seems a bit odd - since "(Gross)Imbach" certainly is no Norwegian name.
It could be a translation of a farm name. In German, "Bach" is a creek, small river - and "bekk" is the Norwegian form. "Gross-" is "stor-".
Unfortunately, there is no suitable farm name in Volda.

The name "Schlott" sounds German or Dutch - but may also be an adaption.

The church registry for Volda 1772 does not reveal any baby Johannes baptized in May-June.

On the other hand. Imbach is/was a village ("Dorf") in Niederösterreich, Austria.
Today part of gemeinde Senftenberg.

Nevertheless, it is not "Gross".


How/where did you get the information about "born in Grossimbach, Volda, Norway on 27th may 1772."

Hei Ivar!
På Bjørneset i Volda er eit bruk som vert kalla "Storebakken". Finn ikkje noko Johannes der, som er fødd i 1772. Der er ein Rasmus Jonson Kile, som giftar seg med enkja Ingeborg Nilsdtr. Storebotn. Han får så barn med stedottera og dei to vert dømde til døden. Rømer heimanfrå og skal ha fått etterslekt i Bergen seier segna (Kjelde årviknes) Ein må berre vere kreative og klamre seg til det berømte "Halmstrået" - om ein skal kome vidare med slekt så langt tilbake.
Kanskje finn ein ein raud trå!
