Thanks to you I have Niels Andersen Stedje married to three Torkild Erichsen daughters (Sigid, Guri, Onni) and to Christi Olsdatter. You have identified the following children: Erik Nielson, Guri (died), Onni, Gjertrud, Guri,(died @5 yrs), Christi, twins Niels and Ole (died @ 2yrs),Guri. Are there any further children? I have a confirmation for an Anders Nielson Stedje(14 June 1818) He would have been born about 1804--how would that fit in, or does it?
Do you have any information on the parents of Niels Anderson? He was 56 years old in 1801 per census. He would have been born about 1745. Were his parents also farmers living on the farm? Since they didn't seem to be cotters, would that mean that some land was in the family and that they probably farmed on Stedje in addition to their own land? Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you. Lue
