Branvold in Hemsedal

[dn09189]

Trond Olsen married Ingeborg Knudsdatter. From the 1865 census it can be deducted that Trond was born about 1785 and Ingeborg about 1781.
They had a son Ole born in 1839 at Branvold.
Is there any bygdebok information on the farm Branvold?
I see a couple of possibilities for Trond in the 1801 census but am not sure which one it is but am thinking Trond Olsen, 18, Tjener, could be the one but there is one who is 12 but not as precise (which the census weren't always!).
If I had the marriage record for Trond and Ingeborg, then it might give me the father's name but I have no idea when that happened. Bygdebok might help.
Any assistance or direction that anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

The book *Hemsedals slektshistorie 1693-1975, av Hans Flaten og Ola Rudvin* includes the Brandvold farms.
You can bay the book from Hemsedal kommune. The price is only 140,- kroner (+ postage). Link.

The book tells that Trond was born 1799 in Hemsedal, and died 1841. Parents: Ola Trondsen and Ingerid Torkjellsdatter.
You find Trond Olsen at the farm Brandvold in 1801.

The book also tells that Trond Olsen in 1829 married Ingebjørg Knutsdatter Grøv. (I have not found their marriage).
Ingebjørg was born 1809 and died 1899. Trond and Ingebjørg got 4 children:
1. Ola 1830, m1856 Kari Sveinsd. Lived in Valdres. None children.
2. Knut 1834.
3. Knut 1835 - 1839.
4. Ola 1839 - 1922, m1866 Liv Mikkelsdtr Fausketeigji b.1840. Ola and Liv had the farm Grøv in Vang.
From Grøv they emmigrated to America. Lived in Minnesota, South Dakota, and from 1904 in Canada. They were married for 51 years
and got 5 children. (Daugther Ingebjørg 1866-1957, married 1891 Ola Dekko).

The widow Ingebjørg Knutsdatter married 1844 Ola Jacobsen Huso 1816-1867. They got 3 children.

In *Hemsedals slektshistorie* you will find a lot of Trond Olsens ancestors.
Hope you understand my writing. More than 35 years since I was a sailor, and have now forgotten most of the language.

Ellef,
Thank you so much. Your English is very good, and my Norwegian is non-existent!
Some of that information from descendants I have but this will set me off in the right direction about the ancestors. I wanted to find the baptism of Trond in 1799 to get specific date and thought since Hemsedal comes under the Næs census of 1801 and 1865 that the records for that area would come under Næs Parish but I couldn't find him in 1798 to early 1800.
I think I'm looking in the wrong place but...?
Any ideas?
Thanks, again,

In the parish register from Nes you find Trond (Thron) baptized 5.May 1799 in Hemsedal. No. 87.

There are some lacks in the 1865 census. (I mean Hemsedal was a part of Gol at that time). Link.

The first link to the baptism do not works. I try agein.No. 87.

Well, that's pretty bad searching on my part. Thanks so much.

Also the information about Hemsedal not being part of the 1865 census is important for me, so I don't keep looking and get frustrated. I was going a little nuts trying to figure out what was wrong.
Thank you again!

First I had a qick look in the *Hemsedals slektshistorie*
So I made an Ancestor chart (circle). You have to log in to see the circle.
The picture will became larger if you click on it.

I hope the circle will make it easier finding ancestors.

WOW, that is great. I will add that and do some more searching for specific dates
Thank you very much.

Looks like Peder Knudsen Grøvs wife Ingebor Olsdatter was from Rotneim in Gol.
Peder Knudsen Grøv and Ingebor Olsdatter Rotnem got married 26.Jan.1772 in Gol.
No. 1.

May be the same Ingeborg Olsd Rotnem who was confirmed 1764 in Gol, 17 years old. Link.
Could be a daugter of Ole Knudsen Rotnem?
Because he had the daugter Ingeborg baptized 13.Sept.1747 in Gol. Link.

I also made an Ancestor circle for Liv Mikkelsdatter (Ola Trondsen Brandvolds wife).
Hope it will help you finding her ancestors.

Thank you so much Ellef. I look forward to the circle chart. That last one was great. I have done a little bit of searching but am on holidays so will get back to it next week.
Thanks again,
