Most of the others have a full date of birth but his just says "something" 1805




The reason I went with the confirmation record was I was unable to find the baptism. And likely the pastor couldn't find it also and that's why it was ___ 1805.

I see. So for Aslaug Helene the baptism date would be 19 July 1809, if I use the symbols correctly. I've googled the name "alou" and it doesn't seem to be a known name, do you have any idea what else they might have ment?


The baptism date for Aslaug Helene looks to me to be 19 June 1809. (looks like Juni not Juli to me )

While the parish record does show the name as Alou, it is likely that it would be more commonly spelled Aloug or Asloug. Probably named after her grandmother. Fourth record under 1802 left page

So far i've also been unable to find the baptism for Ole Terjesen, Syver Terjesen and Allaug Terjesddatter.


I think that Allaug is really Allou -Alloug born in 1802

This is likely Syver or Sivert in the 1865 Census

1865

Anne Kirstine Olsdatter died in childbirth on 16th of April 1821 and Sivert shows to have been born in 1825. I'll look through the censuses, he must have another mother then.

Found him. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/9437/87457/26

He's the child of Joran Saxesdatter. But in this link that was posted before: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/37708/1645

Joran Saxesdatter is listed as the wife of Torsten Lind Terjesen, but in the birth record it's the child of Terje Torstensen and Joran Saxesdatter.

Secilia Olsdatter did not die shortly after being born, like you two thought! I just found her, she died on the 25th of September 1851. Look at the bottom of the left page.

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/9438/87466/1

I don't know why her baptism record said "dead" but here she is, I couldn't find a dead record of her before either and now I know that is because she didn't die back then.

I found Joran Saxesdatter but he appears to have another name written infront of Joran, can any of you see what it says?

Joran Saxesdatter is listed as the wife of Torsten Lind Terjesen, but in the birth record it's the child of Terje Torstensen and Joran Saxesdatter.

Not exactly its an abstract of the estate settlement of Terje Thostensen, She is in the list as "arving" as widow.

The cross by Terje's name indicates he is the deceased party.

Right hand of the page, number 6. I find it difficult to read but it could it be saying "Peder Terjesen"? The same Peder that left on a ship and has not been heard of for nine years.

In this census the wife of Sivert Terjesen is called "Methe Christensdatter"

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/9438/87467/23

But in the 1865 census her name is Salvine Christensdatter. I figure maybe it's her middle name? One of the two anyway.

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/rural-residence/bf01038160004082

Also, wouldn't "Christiansdatter" be more accurate? Seems like it would be a more common name.

Your first link is NOT to any census - but to a birth/baptismal record in 1858.

Christensen/Christensdatter and Christiansen/Christiansdatter are different.

There are two links, one to the census and the other to the birth/baptism record.

I've noticed that from the early years all the births occured under Vatnebu/Vatnebo/Vatneboe and then there are some sprinkles of Lonnovig under Vatenbu or Vatneboeje. And then in the later years I also start to see Braarvik coming up. (Though with different spelling as Brorvik) Would I be correct in assuming that the sons are splitting land amongst eachother or are they starting new farms? Not sure what's happening. I suppose they could also be living as cotters in different areas I guess.

You may be looking at two separate ladies. It appears that Syvert Tjerjesen married two times. Both times to daughters of the same mother and father .

First marriage was to Methe Chirstensdatter in 1855.

Name: Syvert Terjesen
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Birth Date: 1825
Marriage Date: 19 jan 1855
Marriage Place: Dypvåg, Aust-Agder, Norway
Father: Terje Thorstensen
Spouse: Mette Christensd

#3

And second in 1863 to Salvine Christensdatter

Name: Syvert Terjesen
Gender: Male
Age: 39
Birth Date: 1824
Marriage Date: 28 des 1863 (28 Dec 1863)
Marriage Place: Dypvåg, Aust-Agder, Norway
Father: Terje Thorstensen
Spouse: Salvine Christensdr

#8

Notice the fathers name is Christen in the first marriage and Kristen in the second. Both are correct and the same name. In the two baptism records below the fathers name is spelled Christten in both cases.

Methe was born in 1826

Name: Mette Christensdr
[Mette Saxesen]
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 10 des 1826 (10 Dec 1826)
Baptism Place: Flosta, Aust-Agder, Norway
Father: Christen Saxesen
Mother: Ingeborg Marie Gundersdr

#1

And Salvine was born in 1829

Name: Salvine Christensdr
[Salvine Soxesen]
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 17 apr 1829
Baptism Place: Flosta, Aust-Agder, Norway
Father: Christen Soxesen
Mother: Ingeborg Marie Gundersdr

#3

Now don't get hung up on the last names assigned by the transcriber to the ladies in the baptism records. That is being done a hundred or more years after the actual event and probably by an American who has little if any understanding of Norwegian naming practices.

And the spelling of names in those times varies so there is no correct name, it is what the parish priest wrote down from what he heard. Or the census taker.
