Hello all!
New here and starting to do some research on family history. We trace our roots back to Vinje, Telemark but don't know much about the origin of our surname.
Jorgen Bendiksen (Nordgaarden potentially) is the farthest we can go on the father side. He was born sometime around 1791 (one record shows 1825) and had a son named Bendik Jorgensen Tweeten (Tveiten or Tveitane presumed).
Jorgen was married to Singre Nordgaarden who was born on July 21, 1827. Her lineage can be traced back quite a bit but I'd like to know if anyone is familiar with these names or may have a connection? I'd really like to find out where Jorgen resided and if there are any other connections we can make to his family.
Thanks and looking forward to your replies! |

Amazing! This is what I was looking for! Looks like Jorgen's father was Bendig Tollefsen who came from Lie. If I recall correctly, I believe that was a farm on the Mo parish?
I'm still a greenhorn researching here, but I'm guessing this website is the place to go if I want to keep tracing it back? |

This is about the place in a family tree where one needs to use a Bygdbok to go further back in time. However there is a Family Tree on Ancestry.com that has this line back. I will put the line on here but you really should get some Bygdebok confirmation of the data.
Bjørguf Torjusson Nordgaarden Li
1761–1842
BIRTH 1761 • Mo, Telemark, Norway
DEATH 2 SEPT 1842 • Nordgaarden, Mo, Telemark, Norway

DEATH 1787 • Lid, Mo Parish, Telemark, Norway
Margit Bjørguvsdotter Nedrebø
1740–1787
BIRTH 1740 • Gausbu, Skafsa, Telemark, Norway

Many times when you can get the family tree back to the 1700's you can connect with Geni.com. Geni.com is in my opinion somewhat more reliable than most family trees including those on Ancestry.com. Here is a link to Torjus Tarjeisson Reindal, shown above as being born in 1735.
Torjus Tarjeisson Reindal (Lofthus Vestre)
Gender: Male
Birth: 1735
Skafså, Tokke, Telemark, Norway

https://www.geni.com/people/Torjus-Reindal/6000000013602227207?through=6000000012660664813
If you click on Actions and then Ancestors Report you willl see even further back
1. Torjus Tarjeisson Reindal b. 1735, Skafså, Tokke, Telemark, Norway; d. 1787
2. Tarjei Såvisson Lofthus b. 1687; d. 1767

The profile in the Genil.com does have a source for Bjørgulv Torjusson born in 1761. It is a link to the 1801 Census, that I posted above. Gives a little credence to the tree.
Bjørgulv Torjusson Nordgarden (Lid)
Gender: Male
Birth: 1761
Mo, Tokke, Telemark, Norway
Death: 1842 (80-81)

Coming back to the other half of the wedding. Jørgen Bendixsen. I wonder if there is an error in the wedding record and that the father of Jørgen Bendixsen is actually named Bendik Jorgensen. I will grant you that the original re4cord does seem to have the father of the groom as Bendix Tollefsen Lie.
Nr. 12

It might take some work to sort this issue out.

The handwritten birth/baptismal record for Jørgen Bendixsen in Mo kirkebøker, SAKO/A-286/F/Fa/L0004Parish register (official) no. I 4, 1814-1844, p. 31, does list his father was Bendik Jørgensen.
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061214340543
It further puts their residence as Lofthuus. |
