I looked up the film # and it says Vest Aker. I do not see a Vest Aker listed so I looked at Aker and then actually looked at the others listed for for 1814 (there are only a few).
Is there someplace to look up parish history other than Wikipedia?
The reason you might like to use the familysearch.org version is it is essentially a record of the records. This is the precis of that history for that film number:
Contains parish registers from Vestre Aker parish with Sørkedal chapel. Was united with Aker and Akershus Palace parishes until 1823 and with the Hospital parish 1823-1861. The combined Aker clerical district was divided in 1861 to create Vestre Aker and Østre Aker clerical districts. Included Ullern until 1906 and Grefsen and Riis until 1937. See Garnison parish in Oslo city for the Palace parish records after 1823.
Thank you. Now I see what I was doing wrong. I thought the date on the left side was the marriage date - that must be the Bann date? Marriage date is the harder to read date on the right. I passed over this several times! I will try not to make that mistake again :)
Is there any clue in the writing on the line under their names as to where they were from?
Sorry to ask so many questions - but trying to understand the difference between the copy and the official record. I thought if it was in the copy I could always go back and find in the official - for this marriage I can not locate in the "official" records? Thought there might be some more information on them in that record if I could find it.
It is in the "official" records, look at the middle of right page, small descripancy for the bann date. It also says that they both came from Sindsen (part of Northern Oslo). See map.
There are 3 words after Karen Svendsdatter what does that say? I guess the 2 names are the witnesses and not their parents since one looks to be Hans Olsen and the Svend ?
Since they don't have an age or parents names what is the best way to try to locate them in earlier records? Or will anything earlier just be a "good guess"?
#38 is a marriage for Karen Svensdatter - could this be the same person? I can not tell if she is a widow in this record. age could be about right if her first husband had died
