| Can anyone help with finding the marriage record of my great-uncle Martin Hunn to a woman named Jenny, probably in the late 1800s or early 1900s. They lived in Hunn, Ostfold, Norway. Any help would be appreciated. Tusen takk! |

Did you already look through the parish church records of Borge, Østfold? That's where others you asked about were from.
It would make it much simpler for you if you had some estimate of when these people were born and a better estimate of when married.

I'm pretty new to this, and I have no idea how to use the parish church records, besides which they're in Norwegian and I don't speak the language (although I could probably recognize names). I know that Martin's birthday was 28 Nov 1877, and I assume he would have married around his 20th birthday, so I estimated. Sorry to be such a pain. In fact, I'd rather not bother anyone with this unless it's truly not a problem for them. Thanks.

Sonja, I don't speak Norwegian either. The church records are not hard to use and there is very good instruction available online. Names are names, dates are dates, and names of places are always interesting.
Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/na20.html
The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005.
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].

You have no better estimate of dates for Martin and Jenny?? Not even just an educated guess? "late 1800's" could mean anything from 1875 on...

Thank you, Hopkins, for the instructions. I'll try that.
Peder, yes that is my family. There are a couple names I do not recognize, but I know that a couple of the children died. The really interesting thing is that they are identified as Johansens rather than Hunns, and I have never seen that before. I will try doing some searches using that name...maybe I'll come up with something new! Thanks very much. |

| Martin was not married when the 1900 census was taken. His marriage must have taken place some time after this. Searching through Borge parish gave no hits. Maybe Jenny came from another parish. |

Martins parents, Johan Edvard Martinsen and Helga Josephine Pettersdatter were married May 21 1875, see #12.
Johan Edvards father was Marthin Jensen, Hund nordre.
Helga Josephines father was Peter Gjermundsen, Hund østre.

| Yes, Peder - that has to be her. The Hunn farm is in Fredrikstad, and her husband, Martin, inherited it, so it makes sense that they'd be buried there. (I also saw my grandparents' graves on the first page, which I actually saw in person when I was in Norway.) I was unsure that her first name was spelled like that, so there's a step in the rigth direction! |

| the information of the cemetery did not have a year for the death, but this could be a further search. .likely there could be a marriage record after 1900 in Borge,Ostfold? |

Martins baptismal record is found in Vestre Fredrikstad, he was baptized Klaus Martin Dec 30 1877, born Nov 28 1877, see #308 his father was a policeman.
Klaus Martin was confirmed Oct 2 1892, see #3.
Found "Klara" - she was baptized Karen on Aug 21 1881, see #74, Johanes Edvard was still a policeman i Fredrikstad.

| eibache - thanks for that very interesting information. I had no idea my great grandfather was a policeman; I have never heard that before. As far as I knew, he was a farmer. Good grief - the things we discover! |
