Indeed, when is an upgrade not an upgrade? When you have less than you had before...
Wally, you've searched the other side of the family in Lom. What do you know about the family of Brit Torkjelsdatter, Peter Lien's mother? Did she have a sister or half sister named Inga or Ingeri?
Here are a couple of entries at familysearch: Ingrie Torkelsen Norway, Baptisms, 1634-1927 birth: 31 July 1819 christening: 22 August 1819 LOM,OPLAND,NORWAY father: Torkild Nielsen mother: Anne Torkildsdr Brith Torkelsen Norway, Baptisms, 1634-1927 birth: 31 March 1807 christening: 5 April 1807 LOM,OPLAND,NORWAY father: Torkild Nielsen mother: Marit Syversdr

Looking at what seems to be the birth record of Ingri, I do not see the wife as being named Anne?

Yet I find this record in Ancestry just like yours from Famly Search?

Jackie,
Regarding your question: "What do you know about the family of Brit Torkjelsdatter Nordistugu, Peter Lien's mother? Did she have a sister or half sister named Inga or Ingeri?"
Below you will find Peter Lien's mother Brit Torkjelsdatter Nordistugu (1.) as well as her siblings including: 6. Ingrid Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1819, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, Norway.
1. Brit Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1807, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, Norway 2. Torø Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1809, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, Norway 3. Sigrid Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1810, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, Norway Find all individuals with events at this location, d. 1878 4. Nils Torkjellsson Nordistugu, b. 1813, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, Norway d. 1875 5. Syver Torkjellsson Nordistugu, b. 1815, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, 6. Ingrid Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1819, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland, 7. Marit Torkjellsdotter Nordistugu, b. 1823, of Bakkeberg, Bøverdal, Lom, Oppland,
also in Bygdabok for Lom bind 4: Gards- og ættesoge for Bøverdalen, Jon Kolden, (Lesja, Norway: Lom kommune, 2007), page 260. I was very fortunate to stumble upon the existence of this book on the internet and was equally fortunate to be able to purchase a copy from Lom kommune in Norway. see also: https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I17428&tree=Lom which will show you her ancestors back to abt 1714.
She married my great grandfather Syver Persson Storlii in 1833 in Lom, Oppland.

Heh, heh. A man with 2 watches is never really sure what time it is!
I searched line by line through the Lom marriages from 1812-1821 and found none between Torkild Nielson and Anne. Seeing the two entries in the flesh makes me think that the pastor and the clerk didn't get together to examine and resolve the differences in their books. Bakkeberg is the farm name in the marriage record of Ingri and the family residence when possible Marit was born. So it appears that possible Marit's mother Ingri was a probable full sister of Peter Lien's mother Brit, meaning that Peter and Marit were first cousins if true. Possible Marit's ticket was paid to America and the time frame is tight, landing in America latter part of May 1883 and married in July 1883. It does happen that people marry quickly upon arrival but such a quick watershed is facilitated if the family is already familiar--related. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it! |
