Jerdrom? Tromso

[dn09189]

Some information given in a book shows that a Anna Dorthea and her husband Hans Olsen were born in Jerdrom, Troms. I have looked at the parish records for Troms fylke but can not see any parish close to the name Jerdrom.
Any ideas?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

There is of course the parish Gjerdrum, but that is in Akershus and far away from Troms!

Hi

You forgot to give us an appr. time. Maybe it is this couple.

They supposedly left in 1858 according to the 1900 census of South Dakota but no mention from where. Other info says in 1861. I've looked in Gjerdrum and haven't found any Udflyttede records for either of them. The last name became Mo, so it is probably Gjerdrum
Gjerdrum is a possibility as they weren't sure where they were from. That's the problem with not having things written down. I will endeavour to try to get more info.

Well, there is a Mo farm in Gjerdrum, but it is a very common farm name, so you will find Mo farms in lots of other places too.
