Let's trace Engebret Evensen, and I will post all the information that we or better you all, collected on him. Can we get the death dates of the children and Gunda? I would like to see if I can trace some descendants of them, to find a possible DNA match.

My family tree:
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/158005990

Born 9 JUL 1852 on Hagastuen under Marigaard; died 27 FEB 1909 on Hagastuen under Marigaard.

#1 - Engebret Evensen Hagastuen

His Spouse is Gunda Haralsdatter born 12 MAR 1863 on Veienseie.

#24 - Marriage Engebret Evensen and Gunda Haralsdatter
https://ibb.co/n0CvPV3

Can we find a death date?



These are the children that we found:

Marte born 18 FEB 1885:

#11 - Marthe Birth/Baptism

Hey Anton! I love that find of the 1920 census, in particular, because the scanned version lists everything that I need to further track them down. I will try to do some searching through Ancestry and Family Search. Somebody must have had a descendant.

Do you think this is Marte Engebretsdatter? Same birthday:

007 Marte Evensen

Spot on! So there are definitely great-grandchildren to be traced.

Vår kjære mor, svigermor, bestemor og oldemor
Gunda Evensen, Jordestuen
scvnet stille inn i dag, 86 år gml.
Veme, 20. april 1949.
Barn, svigerbarn, barnebar og barnebarnsbarn.

Our dear mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother
Gunda Evensen, Jordestuen
fell asleep quietly today, 86 years old. Veme, 20 April 1949.
Children, children-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I also send Anne Sofie Hval, daughter to Thorleif Solberg, the author of Vaagaards and Marigaards History. I didn't have the time to read this Norwegian Book that I have in front of me, but it might tell more about Engebret as well.

To your entry on Vida Engebretsen:
Fritak fra boplikten I
Fysisk hovedstyre i Ringerike har gitt Vida Engebretsen fritak fra boplikten på eiendommen Jordestuen på Veme. Fritaket gjelder fram til utgangen av 2004. Eiendommen Jordestuen er på totalt 33 dekar, hvor av 10 dekar er dyrka jord. Bebyggelsen består av en tømmerstue på 44 kvadratmeter, en mindre låve og et vognskjul. Samtlige hus er gamle, og blir ikke betegnet som brukbare etter dagens krav
Exemption from the residence obligation I
The physical executive board of Ringerike has granted Vida Engebretsen exemption from the obligation to live on the property Jordestuen in Veme. The exemption applies until the end of 2004. The property Jordestuen covers a total of 33 acres, of which 10 acres are cultivated land. The building consists of a log cabin of 44 square metres, a smaller barn and a carriage shed. All the houses are old, and are not described as usable according to today's requirements


I also found a Vida Engebretsen on Facebook from Veme, Buskerud, and just wrote him in Norwegian, wish me luck! He might be the grandson to Gudbrand, who knows.

Two children from my understanding right? Einar and Kolbjørn, right? One could maybe be his father?

Certainly our Gudbrand, Age is only a bit off, he should have been only 82

Oh wow Jackie, Kristian's 90th Birthday is spot on, as well! Good job!

Added Gunvor Kristiansen Anton, thanks!

Good work today, we traced the descendants, and I think we got mostly everyone from Gudbrand Engebretsen and did a pretty good job.

Should move on to the next one

Haakon Kristiansen may or may not be her husband as both are single in the 1910 census.

Here is Haakon in 1920 census:

Hey Jackie,

Just want to update you after I spoke to Vidar today. Gudbrand and Olava were his grandparents. Everyone who came before Einar and Kolbjorn are dead. He knows that Hagestuen has been used in his family. He did not know about Peter Evensen emigrating to the US. I don't think he knows any siblings of Engebret, but there is interest. He also knows that Engebret has lived in Vagaard and Marigaard but doesn't know the family that far back. He said that he had a sister who would try to help me. Before 1914, Jordestuen was a homestead under the farm Veme Østre. Eivin took over the farm, then Kristian until he died in 1996. He said that if he didn't make a mistake, Gerda would have a son named Gunnar Roa, with a wife named Louise Roa. I think they are all dead, but their three children are still alive. He also said that Jordestuen is mentioned in the book on Norwegian Farms, but I don't know which one.
