This (#7, left) could be Gunder's burial. Address Vaterland, and I believe it says former soldier. Also he was given some extra years in his funeral record. Date of death January 14, 1849.

Back to Odalen/Strøm; Anton found the burial of one Ole Syversen at øvre Hærnes eiet in April of 1804. If this was indeed Gunder's father from the 1798 baptism and the one found at the 1801 census, his widow would be left wift several small children and would need to remarry quickly. The name of Ole Syversen's wife in 1801 was Marthe Hansdatter, and ineed there is a marriage in December of the same year between the widow Marthe Hansd. and one Ole Embretsen at Hærnes: Link This suggests that Gunder would grow up at Hærnes and hence be inclined to adopt the name.

And Berthe Cecilie (sometimes just Cecilia) Olsdatter’s family? I haven’t found any leads on her upbringing and her parents.

Long, long shot from 1801 census, not a good match to 1779 birth date:

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01058346002275


I believe we have two sources for Berthe Cecilie's year of birth; 29 years old at the marriage in 1822 and 63 years old at her death in 1842, giving the estimates 1793 and 1779 for her year of birth. In any such case I would give more weight to the info given at the wedding. In addition, the 1779 estimate seems a little implausible to me, as she gave birth in 1831, 52 years old according to the 1779 estimate. Such things do happen today, but I cannot recall having seen a single example of it in the 1800s.

So I think 12 years old in 1801 makes good sense. The problem, of course, is Stavanger. I do think we may need to look outside of Oslo/Christiania (I was able to find the baptisms of all the Berthe Olsdatters in Oslo at the 1801 census who were born between 1780 and 1799, and none of them had the Cecilia added to Berthe), but Stavanger is, as you say, a long shot.

Recently I did a DNA test, and I found out that it listed the different regions of my Norwegian heritage. The counties that were listed are: Innlandet, Viken, Oslo, Rogaland, and Vestland. The first three that were named clearly had a particular significance because I could correlate those areas to the areas where my ancestors were born. But, conversely, the last two counties could not be traced to any of my ancestors, which I found weird.

If we were correct, then Berthe Cecilie’s birth in Stavanger wouldn’t be so far off, at least according to my DNA. But, I’d like to know if there are any other “Berthe Cecilie” births in other places in Norway at the same time.

Tell me what you think.

Also, I’ve been trying to find out Karen Lovise Øhrn (Nilsdt Eliesen)’s parents. She was 63 at her death in 1847 (according to the document), born in 1784 presumably.

Some church books have been lost or destroyed in various ways, and not all the extant ones have been properly transcribed, so even if your search only returns one Berthe Cecilia, that doesn't mean she's the one you're looking for. That said, there is also the possibility hat she was a Swede. Not less likely than coming over from the West coast, I think. But if your DNA has a Rogaland mark on it, then perhaps. I don't know enough about DNA to say anything about how reliable this sort of localisation is.

Are there any leads on Berthe Cecilie (Cecilia)'s birth location or parents? Where can I search to find out info? The Stavanger birth seems a bit farfetched, but who knows...

Could this have been Karen Lovise (NIELSDATTER [ELIASEN]): https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/255/pd00000002336848 ?

It lists that she was born at Ornæs, like the spelling of the farm Øhrn.
