| looking for Anne Bjorgulfsdatter Oen | |
| Kirsten H | I am looking for any information on Anne Bjorglfsdatter Oen who is listed in the emigrants from Telemark registry as leaving in 1854. She was 30 years old and emigrated to Wisconsin. I am interested in knowing the actual departure date and ship. Thank you~ Kirsten |
| Hopkins | Anne Bjørgulfsdtr Øen was from Fyresdal area of Telemark. 1854 may be too early to be able find any departure record, have you looked for arrival records?. |
| askeroi | I can't answere your original question, but I guess you'd like to have the following information, anyway...: According to the book Bendik Veum: "Fyresdal I Ættebok" (1943) she was the 7th child of Bjørgulv Kristianson and Johanne Christiane Larsdatter Ebbesen ( married 1811), born 1823 and left for America in 1854. Her mother came from Denmark with (as servant of??) reverend Fredrik Lund to Fyresdal in 1805. Her father (1780-was the oldest son of Kristian Bjørgulvson, Kvipt (dead 1806 - 79 years) and Såve Drengsdatter, Jordal (dead 1790 - 34 years). Såve's parents was Dreng Bjugson, Jordal (dead 1788 - 71 years) and Anne Andersdotter (dead 1800 - 83 years). They both came from Mo parish in Telemark. Kristian was born 1727 as 6th child of Bjørgulv Gunsteinson, Kvipt (1665-1741) and 2nd wife Kristi Grundesdotter, Storelid from Bygland. She diead 1774 - 68 years). Bjørgulvs parents was Gunstein Bjørgulvson, Kvipt (dead 1700) and Liv Bjørgulvsdotter. Gunstein was a son of Bjørgulv Torgeirson, Jordal who again was assumed to be a son of Torgeir Bjørgulvson, Jordal (but this isn't proved). Torgeir was a son Bjørgulv Torbjørnson, Brokke. Now the book begins to be unreliable, but this Bjørgulv was according to it a son Torbjørn Torjusson/Torgeirson/Torgilson, Brokke and Helga Bjørgulvsdotter, Væting. Torbjørn could be a son of Torgils Olavson, Nape son of Olav Torgilsson, Nape (mentioned 1450) son of Torgils Torbjørnson, Geitestad (mentioned 1446) son of Torbjørn, Geitestad, living around 1400... But, as I said, the book isn't quite reliable, so please take this ending as a probable line, NOT as anything proven. Documents that far back are few and doesn't tell much about relationships... But it's a good story... |
| Kirsten H | quote:Thanks. No, I have no idea where to start with that! That seems a monumental task without knowing at least a rough departure date. :-) |
