[#18089] Probate records, Vik gard (in Stryn)

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

Would it be possible to see the contents of the probate record for Jens Jensen Vik, (1762-1766), page 238b, protocol 14. I would like to find out if he is the father of my 4th g-grandfather, Jens Jensen Wiig (born about 1741). I believe his wife was Ane Knudsdatter Vik (1753-1757), page 339b, protocol 12.I appreciate your help...Helsing, Patricia

Skiftet etter Anne Knutsdatter Wiig er holdt 23. april 1756. Enkemann var Jens Jensen, og det nevnes to felles barn: Jørgen Jensen, 2 1/2 år, og Margrete Jensdatter, 5 år.Da det ble skiftet etter Jens Jensen Wiig 12. september 1763 nevnes fire sønner: Jens Jensen, fullmyndig. Mathis Jensen, fullmyndig, Jacob Jensen, og Jørgen Jensen, 9 år, samt døtrene Brithe, gift med Jens Jonsen Støvrejde og Marthe Jensdatter, 25 år.Margrete fra skiftet i 1756 er ikke nevnt. Siden minst to av sønnene til jens Jensen var fullmyndige i 1763, og Jens synes å være den eldste, ville jeg tro han var født en del år før 1741.

Thank you, Yngve, for this information. First, I must correct something I said earlier. My 4th g-grandfather was Jacob Jensen Wiig, not Jens. That was my typing error!I have discovered that Jens Jensen Vik was married before Ane Knudsdatter to Marte Mattisdatter Aarholen (b. abt 1703). I believe Marte is the mother of Jacob. I have found a probate record that I believe is for her -- at Vik (1744-1747), page 77, protocol 9. Would it be possible to see the contents of this record? I would appreciate it...Helsing, Patricia
