Died: NA
Børsum, Frogn, Akershus
married to Anders Torgesen
Parents: Christen Paulsen B: 1720 D: 1809
Mari Jansdatter
is the same person as listed below:
Gunnil Christendsdatter
Married to Anders Torgesen
Daughter Ingeborg Andersdatter Born: 1846-08-19 Sigdalen, Norway
Died: 1893-06-30 -Near Elbow Lake, MN
Her daughter Ingeborg married Haaken Helgesen
Haaken Helgesen

If someone could help me confirm this is the same person (Gunhil Christensdatter) it would be very much appreciated.
It's really far back, so I hope someone can provide something.
Takk!

Look at the dates again --
born in 1757 and giving birth to a daughter in 1846???? That would make her 89 years old!! No way! |

If you stay in Sigdal, Buskerud church records and don't wander to other parts of Norway --
There was an Ingeborg Andersdtr who married a Haakon/Haagen Helgeson in 1844 - but she wasn't born in 1846 - she was born in 1821 or so.
Her parents were Anders Torgersen (or something like that) and a Gunnil Christensdtr -- both from Sigdal.
Check your dates again for an Ingeborg Andersdtr "born 1846-08-19 Sigdalen, Norway..." something might be wrong. If you are right Ingeborg would have married a man 35 years older than herself.... really?
The pertinent Sigdal church records are all in the online digitized collection of the Digitalarkivet website. |

Ingeborg's DOB is acutally 28 Sept 1821. It was a typo. Nevertheless, Gunhil is still too old.
Is Askerhus near Sigdalen?
This must not be the same person. Thanks. |

You can study about how-to use the Norwegian church/parish records in this article.
Ancestors From Norway - Parish records
That wonderful article was written about 2002 and since that time scanned copies of many of the Norwegian parish records have been put online. All the advice in the article about how to use them, including translations of the column headings of Norwegian Parish records, is still as valid and useful with the online scanned copies.
The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005. They are planning that this project of adding the records may be finished by the end of the year 2007. More records are added every week.
The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].
Sigdal is an area in Buskerud fylke (county/province) of Norway. Akershus is a different fylke (county/province). Sigdal does NOT adjoin the short border between Buskerud and Akershus.

| Thank you Hopkis! This is just what I needed! I guess it's obvious I am a newbie at this. :) |

Children to Anders Torgersen & Gunnild Christensdr:
Ingebor Andersdr, chr 14 OCT 1821, Skinnemoen, Sigdal, Buskerud
Torger Andersen, chr 21 FEB 1825, Sigdal, Buskerud
Kirsti Andersdr, chr 25 JAN 1829, Sigdal, Buskerud. Death: 1842
Ingeborg Andersd Havikhagen & Hagen Helgesen Kamstad
Marriage: 20 JUL 1844, Sigdal, Buskerud
Anders Torgersen Havigen (26) & Gunild Christensdr Grenstøen (20)
Marriage: 21 OCT 1819, Sigdal, Buskerud
I believe your Gunild Christensdr is christened on 29 MAR 1801, and that her parents are Christen Jensen & Kirsti Helgesdotter.
They live on the Green Nordre farm in Sigdal parish, Buskerud in census-1801.
Grenstøen / Grenstoa is probably a small holding under the main Green Nordre farm.
