Christened on 23 Oct 1859 in Sauda Kyrkje and died in Utstein Kloster, Mosteroy. Her parents names are Halvor Johannesen Brekke and Ingeborg Jakobsdotter. No dates for parents or any siblings.

The baptismal record is the 8th from top of right page. She was baptized Ingeborg Marie.

This is the family in 1865.

Halvor Johannesen was born Febr 24 1823, see #6.
Ingeborg Jacobsdatter was born Oct 13 1829, see #1. Her parents were Jacob Erichsen and Engeborg Torkildsdatter, Lønning.

Halvor and Ingeborg were married May 30 1851, see #1 left page.

A big thanks again. Am wondering if I take the ages and minus from 1865 to get the year of birth? So Britha is Halvor's mother? Are Johannes Johannes and Helga Johannesd. related to the family or work for the family? Am trying to fill in the blanks in the family tree and you and others have been a great help. Feel like am asking too much but am finding lots of information from this site.

When the age is given in the 1865 census subtract the age from 1866 to get approx birth year.
Yeas Britha Bjødnesdatter was Halvors mother.
Helga Johannesdatter lives "with her mother" - most likely Britha - in other words she would be Halvors sister. Bapt. record could confirm this.
Johannes Johannesen could also be Halvors brother, again proof needed with bapt. record.

Here is a proof, Helgas bapt. record is #25, born March 3 1843.

The proof that Johannes was Halvors brother is in the bapt record #6.

Takke! Getting some good information from you. Am trying to see if it is Halvor's parents name in the columns. Even with the magnifying glass it is hard to make out. Can sort of make out Halvor Erick B or Rjseling ? It looks like a list of family names in the next column also-Eli Bakke, Tore Bakke but am not sure of the rest. Could you help me out with what those two columns say please?

I assume you are referring to the bapt. record for Halvor, link #6.
First column - birth date, second column - name, third column - bapt. date, fourth column - parents name, fifth column - godparents.
Febr 24 - Halvor - April 20 - Farmer Johan Halvorsen and Brithe Bjødnesdatter, Bræke - all 4 godparents came from Bræke, Gunder, Tore, Eli and Eli.

Great! Yes, you were right-it was for Halvor. It's always interesting, to see how far back, one can go with the family. You've been a big help!
