Wow! This is great! Thank you! I've put it on my calendar to go Wednesday of next week when I know a couple of people who will be working in the library. (Unless, of course, the mystery has been solved before then.

I should have expanded to say Lavik, Sogn og Fjordane. It appears there is both a Lavik and Larvik in different counties. Sorry for the confusion!

An update on my search for Betsy Johnson. I have obtained the official marriage record of Betsy Johnson and Alexander Anderson. It does not lists parents' names, but the initial for Betsy is definitely B (written 3 times), not R as we have seen transcribed. I also obtained the death record of their daughter Emma Olivia (Levia), and it does not list the parents at all. (As a side note, I was able to view these records at our local Family History Center. No dealing with people in Boone County, Iowa.)

I have now decided to take a methodical approach to looking at the great-great grandparents of my mother's DNA match as possible candidates for Betsy's father and/or mother. Based on their shared DNA (112.2 cM), you could expect my mother and her DNA match, Dan, to be 2nd cousins 1X or 3rd cousins. (There are other possibilities, too, but this gives a general idea.) Betsy is my mother's great grandmother, so we are looking for my mother's great-great grandparents. I can also rule out great grandparents of Dan; they are born close to the time of Betsy. So looking one generation up for Dan (at his great-great grandparents), the first one who interests me is JOHANNES GULLACHSEN (b. 5 Aug 1821, Fitje, Krykjebø, Lavik, S-Fjrd). Johannes is definitely fathering children at the time of Betsy's birth. His first name of Johannes could easily become the surname of Johnson. And one of his children is named Brithe which could become Betsy.

What I've pieced together from Dan's tree AND the previous help from folks here (some of which is copied below) is that Johannes Gullachsen fathered children with three different women:

#1 Synneva Danielsdtr (b. 1819 in Maaren, Lavik, S-Fjrd). Two children known to be born to them:
Cecilia Johannesdotter (b. 14 Dec 1841 in Maridalen, Lavik, S-Fjord)
Johanne Johanneson (b. 24 Jun 1843 in Maaridalen, Lavik, S-Fjord)

#2 Magnilla Hermundsdtr (b. 10 Jan 1814; d. 25 Oct 1885). This is Dan's direct ancestor. One child is known to be born to these two:
Ingeborg Johannesdtr (b. 14 Nov 1846; d. 20 Nov 1926). Ingeborg married Dan's great grandfather Karl Hansen Dahle, and they settled in South Dakota, USA.

#3 Ingeri Jonasdtr (b 1828 in Kyrkjebø, Lavik, S-Fjrd). Married 10 Apr 1849. One child known to be born to them:
Brithe Johansen (b. 10 Mar 1849 in Vik, S-Fjrd)

Two other children show up with Johannes on the 1865 census, perhaps additional children born to Ingeri?
Guri (born about 1851)
Lars (born about 1857)

IF--and I know it's a big IF!--Brithe Johnsen is Betsy Johnson, then my mother and Dan would be third cousins in fitting with the DNA. I would like to know if anything else can be found on Brithe such as a confirmation or emigration record. I am also interested in Guri and Lars. Family tradition says Betsy had one brother, but I know from other stories handed down that they often did not include children who died young.

I have tried doing some of this searching on my own in the archives, but I don't have great success. I will really appreciate any information that can be found. I know I don't contribute much to the board, but ask for a lot. I wish I could do more on my own!

Thank you so very much!
Nancy

The information below was provided by jkmarker in this post: http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6492&whichpage=1 (Need Help Tracing Johannes Hermundsen)

I misread the database, the three "wives" were of Johannes Gullakson, some married and some unmarried. Inger or Ingeri was the mother of a Birthe before they married in April 1849. So was your DNA test autosomal or only female mitochondrial?

Here is the marriage of Johannes Gullakson and Ingeri Jonasdatter #10:

Utflyttedes translates as "homecoming" for me at Google Translate. If these are emigration records, none of these seem the right age for Johannes Gullachsen's daugher. Hmmm . . .

They were married in Alexander's home by a justice of the peace. Name is probably irrelevant since it was a JP, but it looks like John Aelora. The witness is Gus K?odorf, and I suppose the clerk Phil Livingston.

[Quickly running through the utflyttedes from Vik between 1866-1873, these are possibles:
1866 #55 Brithe Johannesdtr Balreat (?) aged 27
1866 #60 Brithe Johannesdtr Hopperstad aged 15
eliminated on page 12 this topic
1869 #29 Brithe Johnsdtr aged 34
1873 #12 Brithe Johannsdtr aged 20


Utflyttedes translates as "homecoming" for me at Google Translate. If these are emigration records, none of these seem the right age for Johannes Gullachsen's daugher. Hmmm . . .



Ut means out flyttede means fly, migrate, moved, so out going.
Inflyttede means in coming
