Bjørkseth / Bjørkeset

Legg inn av gj05515 » 16 des 2011 15:40:36

I am looking for the birth of a man born 15 October 1851 at the farm "Bjørkseth".

In America he used the name "Gilbert Johnson Bjorkseth". He emigrated to America about 1870 and married Kjersti Juulsdatter Vatnebryn about 1871.

Kjersti Juulsdatter Vatnebryn was from Flesberg, Buskerud. I think Gilbert was probably named "Gullik" or "Gulbrand" in Norway and may have come from the same area as Kjersti.

They did not marry in Norway, and they did not leave Norway together. I know that Kjersti left Oslo alone.

Mvh,

Brian

If he left Norway around 1870 he should have been recorded in the 1865 census
http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebMet ... 1&emnenr=3

There are about 800 called Gullik and more than 2000 called Gulbrand in 1865.

According to map there are several places called "Bjørkset" or "Bjørkeset", but I don't find any in 1865 Census.

Rygh list of farm names mentions Bjørkeset in Bamble (Telemark) and one in Flesberg (Buskerud). Vatnebryn in Flesberg is only some 6-7 kilometers from Bjørkeset in Flesberg, so my guess is that they came from the same village or district.

Strangely I do not find any persons related to Bjørkeset in 1865 census.
