Les ovenfor: Elen Marie Andersdatter fra Skiptvedt eller Birketvedt i Oestfold ? --------------------------------------------------En norsk-amerikansk slektning spoer idag om hjelp til aa finne opprinnelsen til 2 norske slektninger fra Oestfold. 'I have a research problem I am hoping you can help me with, if you don't mind and are up for it. I've tried everything I can think of to solve a family mystery out of Norway. A long story very short:There is a family named Billett who came to America from Norway in 1877 (or so) according to the United States Census in 1900. The man was John Billett (perhaps Johan in Norway) and the wife was either Olive, Olava, or Oliva. I can't find them on ship passenger lists. They settled in the state of Wisconsin, USA. There is a Billett buried next to my great great grandmother, Elen Marie Andersdatter, here in Washington State. Family legend is that the Billett family are relatives, but I can't seem to find the connection. I 'think' they must be related to Elen Marie Andersdatter, who was born in Skiptvet, Østfold County, Norway on September 11, 1845, the daughter of Andreas Helgesen who was from Birketved, Østfold County, Norway. But I'm not sure. Any idea where I may turn to try to find this family?' ......................................................Det ville vsere gildt aa kunne hjelpe ham og svar mottas med takk, - gjerne paa norsk !Hilsen, Helge R. Naess, London

De ser ut til at denne ikke kom inn - haaper dette ikke er dobbel-sending:Skibtved, Østfold: Kirsti Olsdatter was born 18/2-1819 - christened 21/2-1819..her father: Ole Pedersen not yet found and his placename is dubious = Börids...? - the nearest I can find is Böyerud (in Skibtved) her mother: Anne Syversdatter.Farm labourers moved around from place to place and are often difficult to locate . I do not believe that she was the daughter of one Andreas Helgesen. But neither do I know the place Birketved - it is not a farm name ?No connection found to 'Billett' yet.

Her er dåpen til din venns tipptippoldemor Elen Marie Andreasdatter - datter av Andreas HELGESEN og Olia Eriksdatter, f 11 sept., døpt 21. sept 1845, nr 30 Lenke De bor på Mortenshytten.Bjerketvedt er gårder i nabo-prestegjeldet Våler.

[Gjest Vigdis Skaar Nygaard]

Jeg forstår innlegget 1 slik at det er opprinnelsen til John E. og Olia Billett det spørres etter, og om de er i familie med Elen Marie Andersdatter f 11 sept. 1845.Bilet er husmannsplasser du finner i ft-1865 Skiptvet, navnet finnes også i Glemmen, og kanskje andre steder.Her er en liste med konfirmanter i Skiptvet på 1800-tallet. Lenke Kanskje finnes Johan der.

Hjertelig takk for hjelpen, Vigdis.
