Looking for information regarding Erich Torressen Eid (b. 1743,) his ancestors and his children, especially Torres Eid (b.1783,) and Inger Anna Eid, born 1794, Tangen farm. I'd appreciate any info whatsoever.

| Thank you for such a quick reply. I have them on the 1801 census but don't seem to be able to get much further. Inger Anna married Peter Bjerkan (no date or place yet) and they had two children in Trondheim: Peter Olaus in 1921 and Erich Andreas in1927 ( both recorded in Domkirke.) She died shortly after the second baby's birth. That second baby was my great-great grandfather. And there the trail goes cold. Inger Anna's brother Torres was supposedly well-known in seafaring circles in Trondheim. Her husband Peter only appears in birth records of his two boys without age or birthplace, so I am stuck. Erich Andreas dropped the name Bjerkan in later years and is recorded in 1865 as Erik Andreas Petersen and in 1875 as Andreas Pettersen. Any ideas as to where I should look next? I do greatly appreciate your time and effort! ! |

The bapt. record for Peter Olaus is #92.
He was born July 20 1821 (not 1921), parents Peder Pedersen, Bjerkan and Inger Anna, Munkaunet.
The bapt record for Erick Andreas is #74.
He was born April 8 1827.
The death record for Inger Anna (called Ingeborg Anna Bjerkan) is
#82. She died April 17 (in childbirth).

- In 1865 Erik Andreas is recorded as 37 years (born 1829) while in 1875 Andreas is recorded as born in 1826. How can you be certain that these two are the same person as Erick Andreas who according to the bapt. record was born April 8 1827?

Hello again,
While I can't be 100% certain, the wife in both cases is Elen/Ellen, born in Borsoren/Borson. (Sorry, my computer isn't capable of producing the Norsk alphabet.) And the children in the families have the same names, which are the ones which came down to us in the family records. My great grandmother is the Anna Emelie, known to us to be born in 1857. US census data is often off in spelling of names and exact dates. (My father's last name was Ove, spelled Ore in the 1930 census...took me a long time to find it in the 1930 census) So I thought perhaps that may have been the case with so many names and ages recorded in Norway, too. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to be the same family. Again, mange tusen tak for your interest. |

| Finally found the marriage of Peder Bierkan and Inger Anna Eid. 1817 #57 in Stjordal, Vaernes. I've been looking in all the Trondheim records because I thought that's where he came from and where she had goone, possibly for work. His name is spelled with an 'i' rather than a 'j' and I can't make out the next word. Is it an abbreviation for carpenter? Or possibly a seaman? |

I believe Peter Bjerkan was baptized Sept 19 1784, see right page were it reads:
Døpt Septbr 19 Sverk Bierkens B. N: Peder - baptized Sept 19 Sverk Bjerkans child named Peder.
The family in 1801.

You have proven your magic! But I'm so curious I always want more. Plan to be in Trondheim area in June and want to visit the old sites if possible. Do you know if the church in Waernes is still there or has the airport changed so much of the landscape that a Stordal/Waernes visit would not be worthwhile? Also, I'm curious to know when and why Inger Anna went to Trondheim before her marriage. I can't find any Afgang/Utflyttede lists for Waernes from 1810 or so to 1817 when she was back home to be married. Would you look in Bakklandet or Var Frue first for incoming people? I've already looked in the Domkirke with no luck. Also what is the meaning of Madam? There were "Madam"s included among witnesses/Godparents at the birth of Inger Anna and also for Erich Andreas. Sorry to be so inquisitive. Again, my gratitude.
Venligg Hilsen,
Lynn |
