| Thord Thordsen | |
| grandpajan | I am continuing research for Thord Thordsen who lived in Rye, Svennes, Nord Audral, Oppland, Norway. His wife Rangdi Nilldatter immigrated to America in 1857 as a widow with six children. FamilySearch.org references a Kirkeboker (church book) titled "Kirkeboker fra Nord-Audral, 1782-1815". Does anyone know where this book is available? Thanks. Jan Iverson (jiverson33@comcast.net) |
| thelebrity | The parish registers of Nord-AuRDal will be available on micro film at your local LDS-centre or the norwegian Riksarkivet. They are also computerized by Valdres FM. And a searchable version of the marriage (gifte) and burial (begravde) records of 1808-1815 is available here: http://www.valdresslekt.no/GifteNAurdal1808/index.html http://www.valdresslekt.no/BegrNordAurdal1807/index.html (I couldn't find Thord in any of these records) Here is Rangdi's emigration from Valdres in 1857: http://129.177.171.80/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=valdutfl&variabel=0&postnr=901&fulle=true&spraak=n Not that there is a daughter on the next page of the document. |
| grandpajan | There are some genealogy places (www.familysearch.org) that have his name as "TOR TORSEN". Would that make a difference? |
