Been trying for hours to find my way in the Digital Archives but no luck, guess I lack of expertise.
I know you receive hundreds of requests but I dare to ask you once more, when you have time, how do I find about Kristians parents? do you look the probable parish records page by page? I fight against my ignorance of the languaje and places and my inexperience, if you give me a hint as to which are the steps I should follow for my research, perhaps I would not be such a bother in asking now and again.
It is frustating that with all the data you have so kindly given me I cannot find the way by myself to pursue on more information. I have tracked the Danish branches of the family up to 1732, the French to 1725, the Spanish to 1800 and the Italian up to 1831. But Norway is the first and real origin of my family and my goal to achieve.
Thanks again and so sorry to bother you once more. |

I think the Oslo/Kristiania area is the difficult one to do research in, being familiar with the geography is an advantage, but that is not enough, info on persons age is also a help.
In the case of parents to Ole Andersen and Karen Marie Christophersdatter who had the son Christian Olaus in 1829 we know they were at a farm called Waggesteen (which Ole Andersen owned) - we do not know their age, when they were married or the name of their parents.
We can assume they were between 20 and 40 years, we could hope to find them in the 1801 census, maybe in Oslo or Akershus (or somewhere else) The farm Waggesteen is not in that census, but it is in the 1865 census for Aker in Akershus.
-- and so on could the search go - I have tried but have not found anything yet. |

The Waggesteen farm exist today but as two farms called Øvre Vaggestein and Nedre Vaggestein - they are situated in Maridalen which is in the northern part of Oslo (a big part of the area belonging to the city of Oslo is woodland.) You can find the farms with this map
write nedre vaggestein in the SØK (search) line, click Nedre Vaggestein (Gårdsbruk) in "Velg" (choose) option on the left side, zoom in and choose "hybrid" to see the buildings.
Christopher Waggesteen was one of the withesses at a baptism April 27 1760 of the twins Karen and Ole. Could he be Karen Maries father?
In 1842 Christopher Christophersen 56 years old was the owner of Waggesteen øvre. Could he be a brother of Karen Marie?

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (LDS = Mormons)
Their website and their collection of materials is one of the basics of all genealogy resources -

Dear friends, I have received a message from Oslo City Archives, Agency for Cultural Affairs, in response to my inquiry about Dorthea Olsen, she was registered in the 1954 Census as living at Kingos Gate 18, since 1951, and she was born on November 19, 1878, so she was two years older than my grandfather. At the time she was a widow and pensioner.
I did not recognize LDS as referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, but of course I have searched through their incredible amounts of archives throughout the world ( god bless the internet) and they have been of great help specially on my research in France, I will follow the line you recommend me.
