Hello! I was hoping someone might have a minute to take a gander at a record I found? It's line 33:
http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070131660350.jpg

It's for Johannes Olsen and Ronnaug Pedersdatter. I'm trying to read where they were from because there are a few Ronnaugs in that area. (From Faberg up to Vaga and between!)

Thanks so much for any helpful nudge!

In case this helps clarify, I believe Ronnaug's parents were Peder Olsen and Anne Larsdatter. Right now her parents are misidentified on FS so I'm correcting.

Thanks. I'll do some digging there. There is an Ulland in 1801 (https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/rural-residence/bf01058257003570) with a number of kids of Peder there although Peder is way too old to have been her father and I don't yet see a Peder Pedersen to take the father's mantel. Will dig more! Thanks.

The marriage record was in 1855 and gives the ages of both the bride and groom. No names for fathers.
So subtracting the age of the bride from the year of the marriage gives a year (plus or minus a year) that can be checked for birth record.

The birth/baptism record in Faaberg for Rønnoug does not give patronymics for her parents but a detail of birthdate and a farm name for the birthplace is given.
So 14-16 yrs later Rønnoug is confirmed and in that record her parents full names are given. The birthdate matches and the farm name of birthplace.

Peter was 62 in 1801 so by the time she was born, he would have been 89. Still... could happen I guess? :P

When Ronnaug died in Minnesota her death certificate listed her parents as Peder Olsen and Anne Larsdatter. Sorry, FS = FamilySearch.

Hey lyndal40, sorry I missed this one! You're right, that looks right. Does that say Peder og Ane from Myhren?

Yes, also see the post by Hopkins which adds the missing last names for the couple.

The confirmation record lists her parents as Peder Olsen and Anne Christiansdatter.

So is the Larsdatter wrong?

Now a Peter Olsen Myhren married a Anne Christiansdatter on Nov 26, 1829.

Keep in mind Rønnoug's Minnesota death certificate contains information that was given by someone OTHER THAN Rønnoug, she would not have been able to report, being deceased. It is not unusual for a death certificate to contain faulty information.

Have you made efforts to check the book “Husmannsplasser i Fåberg” by Fåberg historielag to see if it contains information to help you?

Check out Methusaleh, this from Wikipedia:
Methuselah is a biblical patriarch[3] mentioned in Genesis 5:21–27, as part of the genealogy linking Adam to Noah. The following is taken from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible:

21 When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah.
22 Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuselah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters.
23 Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years.
24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.
25 When Methuselah had lived one hundred eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech.
26 Methuselah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters.
27 Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years; and he died.
—Genesis 5:21–27
