Am trying to find distant grandmother Kirsten Eriksen from Stjødal born between 1770 and 1774. I have found a baptism in 1773 which I think relates to her. However, I cannot read it well enough to get any information out of it. I would appreciate help in this effort.
1. I believe Kirsten's parents are Erich Andersen Kvegjerdet på Dybvad (døpt 13 Mar 1747 in Lånke) and Gunnil Arntsdtr. Echren (døpt 5 Sep 1751 in Lånke). Married 28 Oct 1773. Nord-Trøndelag fylke, Stjørdal, Ministerialbok nr. 709A05 (1755-1780), Trolovede 1773, side 373. http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070925610703.jpg
2. Kirsten was confirmed in Oct 1790 at age of 16 while living at Auran which places her birth about 1774. Nord-Trøndelag county, Stjørdal, Parish register (official) nr. 709A06(1781-1797),ChronologicalList(1790),page268. http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070925620155.jpg
3. Kirsten marries Sivert Larsen Flornæs/Auranaunet in Nov 1795. Nord-Trøndelag county, Stjørdal, Parish register (official) nr. 709A06 (1781-1797), Marriage records 1795, page 579. http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070925620308.jpg
4. Sivert and Kirsten are living on Auran gård in Skatvold in the 1801-telling for 1714 Størdahlen. Kirsten is listed as 30 years old which places her birth about 1770. However there is a mistake here in that Kirsten’s last name is listed as Ingebrichtsdtr. which is in error. This is also noted in a discussion in the Digitalarkivet Debattforum under 41035: Berit Sivetsdatter, Kornsve – Skatval.
5. Kirsten is buried 25 Nov 1855 at the stated age of 83 years which places her birth about 1772. Nord-Trøndelag county, Stjørdal, Parish register (official) nr. 709A14 (1845-1858), Death and burial records 1855, page 523. http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20050510030678.jpg
Finally, this information places Kirsten's birth between 1770 and 1774. I believe that Kirsten was born on Echren and baptised 19 past Trinity (17 Oct) 1773. Nord-Trøndelag fylke, Stjørdal, Ministerialbok nr. 709A05 (1755-1780), Kronologisk liste (1773), side 239. http://urn.digitalarkivet.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070925610568.jpg
This baptism is very difficult to read and I would appreciate any help I can get in understanding it. Thank You.
