It´s a bit confusing.

Aslak Evensen born in Eidanger Feb. 6.1812 to Even Andersen and Helge Svenungsdatter.

Confirmation in Bø Nov. 4. 1827;
Aslak Evensen b. Jan. 24. 1811 to Even Andersen and Helge Svenungsdatter Skogen, #35

Vaccinated in Bø Feb. 16. 1817

Aslak´s wedding record with Aagoth on June 8. 1837 in Bø tells he was born in "Edanger" Eidanger but the priest made a misspelling when he wrote Bachelor Aslak Evensen Tangen born in Edanger and Maid Aslak Helgesd born in Trælsborg.
Then he realised the misspelling and corrected some of it by underline Aslak and wrote Aagoth above, see #18.

Proofreading did not exist in those days, often misspelled remained erroneous.

The family must have went from Eidanger to Bø between 1812 and 1816. I am still confused on Aslak's date of birth. Confirmation recorded date and date of tombstone inscription are the same however other records show him born later. I may have to give up on trying to figure that out. Which parish records should I search regarding any other information on Even, Helge. Aslak or possible other child born between 1812 and 1816? Choices in the digital archives are Eidanger or Eidanger/Eidanger. Are these seperate parishes? Or should I look in Porsgrunn records since the possible Even Andersen I have was listed on the 1801 census as living in Porsgrunn with father Anders Jacobsen and mother Ingeborg Jensdatter? I am still searching for birth records/marriage records for Even and Helge.

Eidanger and Eidanger/Eidanger is the same parish but Eidanger also includes subparish as Slemdal, todays Siljan (see on top page).
Eidanger/Eidanger includes only Eidanger.
Eidanger merged with Porsgrunn 1969.

The only written date as I see it Aslak brought with him was the record from the confirmation in Bø.

No info on the vacc. record (Bø 1815-1831, page 629)
#81 Aslak Evensen Skogen

Seeking information regarding any immigration records for parents Even Andersen and Helge Svenungsdatter. Sons Aslak and Svennung immigrated in 1845 and Halvor in 1860. There is a gravestone in the family cemetery in Wisconsin that was always believed to be Even's however the oldest living descendants are not sure if Evven and Helge immigrated.

Taking another look at the previous work and another new search, I think that the best candidate for Even Andersen is the one found by Kåre on page 3. Here is the transcribed record as found on Ancestry.com. A link to the original record and a link to the family in the 1801 Census is on page 3 of this topic.

Even Andersen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Even Andersen
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 20 mar 1791
Baptism Place: Porsgrunn, Telemark, Norway
Father: Anders Jacobsen
Mother: Ingebor Jensdr
FHL Film Number: 127003
Reference ID: 2:137TLW3


Based on information found and posted below, I no longer think that this is the correct person to be the husband of Helge Svennungsdatter.

I wonder if we have missed an earlier Svennung born in 1808 and baptized on Nov 13, 1808 in Bø.

Here is a long shot for the parents of Helge Svennungsdatter. Even Andersen and Helge Svennungsdatter have children named Svennung and Aslak. The farm name for the first Svenung born in 1808 is Moeland under Otterholt. Here is a Svennung Aslaksen living on Otterhold Søndre in the 1801 Census. He has several children but none living at home named Helge.

1801

There is a Helge Svennungsdatter born about 1782 living in Bø in 1801. Need to make a connection between her and the people at Moeland.

Helge

Here is the marriage record for Even Andresen and Helge Svennungsdatter in 1805. Makes me doubt that the Even Andersen born in 1791 can be the correct husband. Seem to me that he would be a bit young to be getting married. Also the groom is listed as a widow

Link

In the original record he is listed a Even Andresen Bagaas.

#2

It is getting a bit complicated but it would seem that a Helge Svennungsdatter had a child out of wedlock with a soldier Anders Knutsen while she was living at the place of a Even Bagaas under Farberget.

Original Record

#82

This Helge Svennungsdatter would seem to correspond with the one found in the 1801 Census record (Link above). There is a Even Andersen age 33, married just above her living at Farberget.

If I read the census correctly he is married to a Johanne Sørensdatter age 75?

So this Johanne Sørensdatter died Dec 17, 1804.

Link

Based on the above, I think it is very likely that the husband of Helge Svennungsdatter is Even Andresen Bagaas born about 1768. He married Helge in 1805 shortly after the death of his first wife Johanne Sørensdatter. In the 1801 Census Helge Svennungsdatter was working as a servant girl in the domicile Farberget, Midgaarden Nordre of Even Andresen Bagaas and his wife at that time Johanne Sørensdatter.

To keep things straight and to see if the Helge born abt 1782 can be the mother from 1808 to 1823, I put together a list of the possible children of Even and Helge. Name, birth year, page in this topic and where born.

Children of Even and Helge

Svennung 1808 page 4 Bø (If Helge born in 1782 she would be 26)

Aslak 1812 page 1 Eidanger, Confirmed in Bø

Olaug 1816 page 3 Bø

Anund 1818 page 3 Bø

Halvor 1821 page 1 Bø

Svenunng 1823 page 1, Bø (If Helge born in 1782 she would be 41)

What do we think?

All possible children listed for Even and Helge appear to be correct. I am certain of Aslak, Halvor and Svennung as they all immigrated to America and are buried in the family cemetery in Wisconsin. I am a decendent of Svennung (born 1823). Anund died young and there was never anything spoken of Olaug so I assume she stayed in Norway? There also was never any mention of Andres (born 1805) or another Svennung (born 1808). Possible they both died young also?

It also was always questioned as to whether Even and Helge ever immigrated to America?

If I am understanding correctly, Helge was a servant girl to Even and his first wife Johanne. Was this common for a family to have a servant girl?

Is there a name for the child born out of wedlock to Helge?

Also confused on Even's wife Johanne. If I read that correctly, he was 33 and his wife Johanne was 75 in the 1801 census?
