Matches well with the Geneanet data

I also find this family in Geni.com. I have used Geni.com fairly extensively and it is usually more accurate than the run of the mill internet trees but it is best to also check with the original records.

This family line seems to end here.
Torstein Øygarden Icn_world
Gender: Male
Birth: estimated between 1659 and 1719 Icn_refresh
Immediate Family:
Father of Torgeir Torsteinson Øygarden; Hans Torsteinson Øygarden and Halvor Torsteinson Strandrud
The list of baptisms for 1725 starts here. It is difficult to read but someone from this site might be able to find the correct baptism.
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061211330612
The most likely candidate is Halvor seen on this page. Likely Dom 9 Trin (29 July)
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061211330615
A closer look gives the name Torgrim Bøen
Probably not the right Halvor.
