Which bygdebok for Torkeli?

[dn26706]

I am doing some research for my friend, whose great great grandparents are Halvor Olsen Torkelie, f. 27 Oct 1817 in Heddal and Anna Olesdatter Hovde, f. 16 Dec 1821 in Tuddal, Hjartdal. They were married 23 Apr 1846 in Heddal.

I would like to use a bygdebok and don't know which one to use. I can borrow one from the library here in the United States.

Thank you so much!

Hi,

I suggest you look further into the books called ”Hjartdalssoga” (4 items) and “Hitterdalsboken”.

According to the church records Anne Olsd born 1821 was the daughter of Ole Johnsen and Liv Olsd.

According to Hjartdalssoga I p 263 Ola and Liv with their 2 daughters in 1836 moved from the farm Greivjord in Hjartdal to Heddal.
This is verified in the church records:

According to the church records Halvor Olsen born 1817 was the son of Ole Johannesen in the cottars place Turkelia under the farm Brekke and Anne Reiersd.

According to this link http://home.online.no/~rkkaasa/slekt/aner/f2065.html Ole Halvorsens grandfather was the famous thief Johannes Murukleiv that died in prison in 1810.

Biografi til Johannes Halvorsen Murukleiv
Husmann på "Morklev under Breche" i 1782. Antall barn stemmer ikke. Det står at han hadde kone og ett barn. 56 år i 1800. Var da husmann under Aakre (Stivi) i Heddal, som hadde husmann sammen med Brekke. I følge listen over døde på tukthuset var "Johannes Halvorsen Mureklev" 60 år da han døde der. Han ble straffet for å ha hjulpet sønnen Tov, og fikk for det tukthusstraff. Han døde på tukthuset, ca 11 måneder etter sin kone.
