I am trying to untangle two men with the same name, same father's name, and same farm - Jacob Jonsen from the farm Hopland in Utvik. Refer to page 498 of the bygdebok for Innvik: Jakob Jonson (who married Synnøve Antonsd Rand). He is listed directly under Jon Jakobson Sølvberg (who was married to Kristi Andersd. ytre Henden). I thought if Jakob was listed directly after Jon in the bygdebok, then he was the next in line, or the son of Jon Jakobson Sølvberg. But the years do not match. The bygdebok states that Jakob died in 1844 at the age of 76. That means he was born about 1768. In the birth records for Innvik, Jon Jakobsen & Kristi Andersd. had a son Jacob at Hopland f. 14 Feb 1779. It appears that he died 1 Oct 1855 at Hopland, age 76. There was a Jacob Jonsen born in 1768, but according to the birth records for Innvik, he was the son of Jon Jakobson and Sofie Andersd. (page 498 of the bygdebok). I did locate the 1844 burial record for Jacob Jonsen Hopland, age 76. But there is no other information to identify him. I tried to find probate records for the two Jacobs, but I could not. The marriage records for this era do not show a father's name, but it wouldn't help, because they are the same. The Jacob Jonsen Hopland that I am related to is the one who married Synnøve Antonsd. Rand in 1809. Synnøve is the daughter of my 4th g-grandfather. I would like to make sure I have the right one. Is he the one f. 1768 (son of Jon & Sofie) or the one f. 1779 (son of Jon & Kristi)? I have attached the two pages from the bygdebok. I hope I have explained this clearly. I know it's confusing... mvh Patricia
