A last posting reg. Jens Nilsen Sandvigen.
His confirmation in Viker church July 17. 1881.
His grades;
Reading 3
Explonation 2 1/2
Bible history 3
Diligence 3-
Ability 2 1/2
No info on where he lived, most likely Sandvigen, seems like he was born on Vikermoen. Vaccinated July 17. 1867.
1. page #7

Still missing when his mother Gunnild Thorsdatter Sandvigen died.
That could be the main reason for his emigration in 1887.

Add. info.
Grythe was a subfarm under Ringerud, separated 1838. Owner was Ole Fredriksen Ringerud.
His son Fredrik (Frek) takes over Grythe 1839. When Fredrik died 1884 his wife Gunnild Olsdatter owned the farm in ca 3-4 years before she split Grythe in two equal parts, daughter Gunhild got the southern part and the son Christian got the northern part.
Bjørnerud owned by a son Fredrik Fredriksen and Tonette Thorsdatter Sandvigen in 1900 was first a sub farm under Grythe.

Thank you! This summer we had a nice visit with the wife of Ole Olsen Ringerud. Inger Lise Grimsrud. He was on the mountain and she was taking care of 7500 hens. They sell eggs all over the area. They are now the 11th generation of the same family on Ringerud, and the 12th, their son Ole Olsen Ringerud, will take it over next. She brought out her family papers, and also showed us the rock where the Dog King Ring was tied! It is such a beautiful farm, right on the banks of Lake Sperillen.

Yes, a great thrill. I still have farms to find the next time, such as Saeterbakken and Nordhagen in Ringsaker. Last summer I also visited Torgersrud and Skogen in East Gausdal and the Faaberg Church. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Don´t forget the new farms in Ådal, you seems to be related to the "whole Ådal"

We visited Gausdal in August with family from Wisconsin looking for farm Berge and others and also visited the church and the cemetery and noticed that the Pillory "Gapestokken" still stood at the usual place at the entry ment for punishing people for minor offences in the old days forbidden by law on Mai 17. 1848.

Thanks! I've been working on Christmas stuff. Now I am starting on my Hedmark family which I have some questions about. I have the bygdebøk for Brøttum which tells me that Ole Engebretsen Sæterbakken was born in 1795, but can't find him in the birth records. I will look up the information tonight and write back! His daughter, Anne Olsdatter Sæterbakken is one of my g. g. grandmothers.

Hi.
Sorry, I didn´t ment you.

It has been quiet on this forum the last days so I was testing to see if it worked.
It did.

You are welcome to write back when you are ready for it.

Perhaps Ole Engebretsen/Embretsen was born on Kamperud in Nes/Næss parish, Ringsaker (Brøttum) Hedmark, bap. Jan 31. 1796 to Embret/Engebret Andersen and Marthe Christophersdatter.

Sæterbakken is listed as 421.2 (Sæterbakken Østre #421.2 in the new Brottum book). Ole Engebretsen Sæterbakken was born 1795, the son of Engebret Amundsen Moenbakken (1754-1821), bygsler, lagrettesmann, tømmersmann and Anne Syversdatter (1770-1833).
My g. g. grandmother was their daughter Anne, born 1832, married Christian Larsen Gjeitrud, born 1835, and they emigrated to America in 1871.
I have been looking for Ole Engebretsen's birth in Ringsaker Parish because the 1801 census shows them in Ringsaker on the farm Sætherbachen. He married first Berthe Evendtr. Berg and second Marthe Nielsdatter. He had an Anne with each wife, but the first one died at age 6. I looked through the birth records for 1795 several times but never found his birth. Those old records are very difficult to read, especially when you don't read Norwegian well.

Sæterbakken on this map, and Nordhagen here.

Both farms on the same link.

Thank you! There it is. I looked before and I saw several Embrets but I did not know that was the same as Engebret. I guess I should change the title of this topic to Hedmarken! Now from reading further in the bygdebok I have found that the Marthe Nielsdatter (1802-1886), Ole's mother, was from the farm Avskakalia midtre, so that is another farm to see! Her parents were Niels Nielsen Avskakelien, gardbruker og soldat. It says Niels was married in 1794 to Kari Mortensdatter Hovemoen, 1770-1855, sister of Lars Mortensen of Avskakalia Nordre. Niels Nielsen's father was Niels Jensen Kloven/Ore/Avskakelien, soldat from Kloven. This is exciting! I bought these books this summer and am just getting into them. I am sure I will have many more questions.

Afskaakelien is in Faaberg, Oppland.
Marthe was born April 18 1802.
Parents and siblings in 1801.

I believe the name today is Avskåkålia.

Hovemoen and Avskåkålia on the same map.
