Even Olsen & Gunnild Helliksdtr/Ellefsdtr Hegstol

Legg inn av gj17733 » 8. juli 2013 kl. 2.05

My mmff's parents, Even Olsen & Gunnild Helliksdtr/Ellefsdtr Hegstol, are shown in this udflyttede: Telemark county, Seljord, Parish register (official) nr. I 11 (1831-1849), Migration records 1843-1845, page 351. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-356

Birth/baptism record for their child Ole: Telemark county, Seljord, Parish register (official) nr. I 11 (1831-1849), Birth and baptism records 1837, page 40.
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-42

I can not find their marriage record. Neither of them appear to be living on Hegstol(Haugstol/Haugestol), during the Seljord 1815 census.
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... Ft08281815

In the 1815 census, I found an Even Olsen Haugstuen, and a Gunhild Ellefsd. Næten, about the right ages.
I now have doubts about them being the correct Even and Gunhild, (especially Even).
I also found an Even Olsen Smedahl, about the right age.

Does anybody know the correct Even and Gunnild, that I am looking for?

Thanks
Steve Trangsrud

Hi,

Your ancestors’ names according to the church records are Even Olsen and Gunnild Helliksd and they lived at Hegstøl before emigrating. Using normalized Norwegian language (as in Seljordssoga) their names are Eivind Olavsson and Gunhild Helliksdtr/Helleksdtr from Heggstaul. They are briefly mentioned in volume 5 of Seljordssoga p 645 and p 657 with their children:
1. Anne, 1835-1836
2. Olav, 1837-
3. Hellek, 1839-
4. Halvor, 1842-

Eivind was born at Kolasveiv and his parents are Olav Gjermundson from Nipen and Anlaug Halvorsdtr.
Seljordsoga does not mention Gunhild’s origin. She is probably from another parish and they were probably married in her parish.

In the neighboring parish Rauland a couple married in 1835 that may be the one you are looking for:

16.4. 1835, Ungk Evend Olsen Hægestøl, 25, with Pige Gunhild Helleksdatter Langvig, 31,

Their first born Anne was born 2.11. 1835:

Thanks Ole!

This mystery had been puzzling me for several years now.

I found Ole G & Aslaug H marriage record (19 Oct 1807) Telemark county, Seljord, Parish register (official) nr. I 8 (1755-1814), Marriage records 1808, page 152
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-135

and Even's birth record (28 Jul 1810) Telemark county, Seljord, Parish register (official) nr. I 9 (1801-1814), Birth and baptism records 1810, page 36
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-41

The farm listed in both records is something like Skorieye. The are several similar names listed in O Rygh for Seljord Muncipality (Skoren?), but none that are obvious. I assume the parish is Aamotsdal.

I would guess that the Even and Gunhild marriage record from Rauland is for the correct couple, since Even is listed as Even Olsen Hogestol.

Looking at ages listed for Gunhild on the emigration and marriage record, her birth year should be ~1804-1806. Records listed under Rauland did not start until 1814. I looked through the Vinje and Lårdal records from 1802-1808, but didn't notice a birth record for Gunhild. (The writing was usually legible to me, but sometimes not, so it is possible I missed it.)

Any ideas on where else to look for Gunhild's birth record?

Gunhild Helliksd was confirmed in 1822 in Rauland:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-142
Here it is stated she was baptized 10.5. 1803 in Dal annex church. In the parent column a Omund Haraldsen is mentioned. This is obviously not her father. Maybe her stepfather or the farmer where she serves?

Dal annex church is in the Tinn parish:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-155
Her parents are Helleg and Gunil Fosso.

In the 1801 census the Fosso farm in Dal:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... k=174#ovre
Maybe Turi Hellchsdtr is Helleks mother? She is married 2nd time with Sigur Torjusen.

And maybe this is Helleks baptism 24.11. 1771:

And maybe this is Hellek and Gunhild in 1801:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... =1711#ovre

All these assumptions needs verification!
Happy hunting.

"Skorieye" is obviously a tennants farm, belonging to the owner of the main farm Skori. The baptism took place at "Ommesdal", i.e. Åmotsdal chapel.

I found a few more things;

I think this is Even Olsen and his widowed mother, Anlou Halvorsdtr, in the 1815 Seljord Census:
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/sako/Seljo ... e_35_2.htm Even's name appears to be crossed out.

I looked through all Death records 1809-1815 for Seljord, and its annex parishes, but did not see a record for Ole G.

This might be Anlou, on Barstad, in the 1801 Census
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/we ... r=72#nedre

This is Ole G. with his first wife , on Skorie Nedre (Kolasveiv)

(I edited this message on 8 Sept 2013, correcting a couple of errors)
