Niels Tostensen Grina died April 6 1769 and was burried April 9, see in the far left column. He was then 57 years old, birth approx 1712 should be correct.
Rønnoug Guttormsdatter was burried Aug 14 1774, see in th far left column. She was then 58 years old, birth approx 1716 should be correct.

Your information on Tosten Olsen Grinden correspond with this family tree which probably come from Råde Bygdebok published 1968.

Two new editions , volumes 2 and 3 has recently been published.

You had a birth date for Ole (1752) therefore I did not show the record (However, I read the date as the baptismal date, not the birth date.)
Based on your family tree can I assume Niels (1758) is a new child?

Hi eibache

We did not have Niels so good to find him, I will also note the baptism date for Ole. We still wonder if there are more children as there is a 4 year gap between Ole 1852 and Anders 1856 unless a child died at birth. Thaks for your help

- you probably mean between 1752 and 1756.
Malene Nielsdatter, Kihl 16 years was confirmed 1770 - wrong parents Niels Enersen and Gunild Ingebretsdatter.
Ole Nielsen, Kihl 17 years was confirmed same year, see left page
