Hello:
I am looking for someone out there with a Bygdebøker for the Bø kommune area of Telemark.
I am researching for any information/parents/siblings of:
HALVOR HALVORSEN
born: abt. 1804-1814 (unknown for sure on birth year)
reference to Halvor working in/at a timber mill owned by Cappelen in Skien.
left Bø and ended up in Imsland parish area of Vikedal where he met/married on:
28 November 1839 a Siri/Sigrid HALVORSDATTER of Vikedal
looked for a husmannsplass and was offered a subfarm? named Benkene in Imsland parish. I have not had any luck in finding a volunteer "look up" for the Bø area in Telemark that would at least mention birth year, and hopefully Halvor's parents. Any assistance on this, and if you have the Bø kommune bygdebøker, scanning of any pages with mention of my ancestors is most appreciated. Thanks for your time, Stacey

You can rent the microfilmed church records for Bø, Telemark at a local Family History Center. They are not hard to read, only a few basic words.

Hi:
Thanks for your time in replying...unfortunately I do not have access to any of the films I could order through the LDS church...I wish. I discovered not long ago there is a book called "Boe (Bø) and Halvorsen-Otterholt: Shared roots in Telemark" that I would love to get my hands on just to see if there is anything worthwhile....no such luck.
I live in a VERY small town, local library isn't even capable or not interested in doing interlibrary loans...so unless I can get someone to do some look up's, I'm basicaly out of luck. Thank you though for trying to help....Stacey |

Thank you Mas for being willing to try and find my Halvor..I am not totally sure of the farm, but have seen references to an Otterholt farm? in Bø....I hope you can locate something! Please email me. Look forward to whatever you can find on this "enigma" of mine  Stacey |

| THANKYOU Jo Ann for the link! It's different from the ones I tried to look at previously. I was able to email my request to the gentleman, and hopefully will hear something back if his email account/addy is still good. Thanks again for trying to help. Since your a senior member...and as long as I've got "you" here...this is on the other side of my family, but I am searching for a passenger list for a ship called Majestic who left Liverpool in July 1901 bound for USA? Where would be a good place to look? Thanks again for all your help! Stacey |

Hello!
Just now I'm at work,but when I come home I look it up again.And I'm quite sure that the Halvor I found in 1804 was from the farm Oterholt.So he can be the right person.I'll write you later to day. |

The place name Otterholt is an important addition to your data.
Halvor’s family very likely is this one at Otterholt in 1801.
(1801 – 37 Otterholt Nordre – other families on this farm could be relatives)

Hi Dalb!
Thank you so much for ALL the information! Where were you able to pull this up? I have an ongoing forum trying to help me on Dgitalarkivet, and I was having problems on sorting out some of the information coming in, and confusing myself with another family with similar names (gee what a shock :D ) I was able to get ahold of a cousin (recently discovered through boards like this one) she has always maintained Halvor was from Oterholt...but I didn't know for sure of her source. Have confirmed that, plus a second reference...so this IS him. I thank you so very much for helping and listing the birthdates of Halvor's siblings! Can you email me with the link to where you were able to get these records? Is it a parish book for Bø available for purchase? Let me know...Now that this Halvor is confirmed, I have ALOT of information to process because it seems the family was in that area/farm for a long time prior. (Thats why I ask for your source on Halvors siblings/parental marriage) would be nice to try and use it to go further back! :D Please email me at your earliest opportunity, and thanks again for helping!!!!!

| With this data confirmed, it may help MAS from Norway find your family in the Bygdebok. I found the data in transcripts of the Bø parish records that were transcribed from the LDS microfilms, by a friend who is now deceased. I have his copy. It is always good to verify the data with the original films and in the Bygdebok. I assume there may be more family connections at Otterholt Nordre on the ancestral family. Much of the family data would be in the Bygdebok. MAS could maybe tell you where that Bygdebok could be purchased. |

| Hi My ancestor Reier Talakson Pladsen DOB 1758 lived in Ulefos, Holden Parsonage and he was a forestry superviser for Didrik Kappelen. Down the line my great grandmother was Anna Halvorson. Might be a connection. Norm |
