There are some other children listed in other sources that I have not been able to verify.
gudahl.no lists a Ingebor Jørgensdatter Bolstad born 1768 That I could not find.
Jacob Aaland Bygdebok lists a Jørgen born abt 1780 that I could not find. |

I am trying to locate information on Mons J. Folven and Anna Rasmusdatter. They would have been born somewhere in the mid 1600s in Norway. The only additional information I have is that they had a daughter named Kristi Monsdtr Folven born in 1696 in Folven, Innvik prestegjeld, Norway. Kristi died on 8 May 1781 in Norway.
This is the opening query. I interpret this to mean sabingd wants to find out about the parents of Kristi Monsdatter, Folven born 1696.
Sabingd, you can search for Kristi's marriage record, which may name her parents. Another idea is to read the baptismal records of her children, looking for godparents' names; they could include her parents or siblings. I believe you do use the churchbooks? but if not I'll consider trying to help or someone else will.
I am uncertain why the first four replies to your query - and several others - focus on youngsters in the generation of Kristi"s grandchildren. I guess that's a question for peder and lyndal40. May be due to a different interpretation of the opening query. You will need to reappear to clarify your question (and to establish that you are interested in finding an answer).
Meanwhile please do take care to note that while the discussion focused on grandchildren (or possible grandchildren) is interesting, it is descendant information and does not directly apply to Kristi born 1696, or to her parents. |

Here is the death record of Kristi Monsdatter Boelstad about 14 up from the bottom of the right hand page:
Source information: Sogn og Fjordane county, Innvik, Parish register (official) nr. A 1 (1750-1816), Death and burial records 1779-1781, page 314.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=11506&idx_id=11506&uid=ny&idx_side=-238
This is the source for her birth year of 1696. Unfortunately, the parish records for Innvik begin in 1750 when the lady was probably long married and out of the baby business herself. Innvik was likely in some other parish before that but I don't know which it may have been and perhaps she was born in some other parish entirely.
Perhaps there is some record source like probate or land records which might answer the question of her parents' names or at least give names to who might possibly be her parents, i.e every Mons in the area where she was born.
As to the efforts of others who have responded, their kindness in doing should be applauded and might be more a reflection of " if you can't find the one you love, love the one you find." |

In working from online trees (whether verifying them or not), one comes to a stopping point. Usually it is not apparent whether no earlier information can be found, or whether the tree creator simply stopped looking for earlier generations. The opening query seems to reflect that situation. The OP perhaps (or likely) found an online tree that comes full stop with Kristi b 1696. It's okay to answer "the parents can't be found because the records peter out" or similar. That is a satisfying answer in itself.
And yes, love the one you're with. The posted info has its own value. |

Read the initial inquiry again.

Okay, so the thread DOES reflect a different interpretation of the query. I wondered!
Continuing on, quote says "I am trying to locate information on Mons J Folven and Anna Rasmusdatter. They would have been born in the mid 1600s." The century is not a typo, as it repeats when this couple has a daughter born 1696. Diagnosis: the OP read an online tree upside down, and names Kristi's son and wife accidentally, as being her parents (an opinion I stated earlier). Kristi Monsdatter, Folven born circa 1696 is the solid starting point. Mons and wife float there as the unknowns - the parents are the unknowns. The children are known (on the public family trees).
Pretty sure I'm right, but obviously only the OP can say what was truly meant. |

Sometimes there is more than one reason to post in a specific subject. For example in this one I am posting a lot of information here as a place holder for others who may wish to correct or add to their Family Trees on this family. Those people could come to this set of posts through the use of Google seeking to update their Family Tree and find quite a bit of relevant information including the proper place of the various family members. Also, since I use Geni.com I was able to send messages to the four Managers of the Mons Jørgensen Jorgensen Bolstad (Folven) Family Tree and encourage them to correct their tree. I posted for them a link to this group of postings assuming that if they wish they could also come here and take advantage of the large amount of information available as well as the number of links to the original sources.
I will continue to post relevant information on this family as it becomes available to me with the various uses that could be made of the information in mind. |
