[#39044] Search for farm and parish records for Anna INGEMAN and John NELSON +/- 1870

[Gjest Paul R. NELSON]

My name is Paul NELSON, and I am searching for my Norwegian ancestors.I know the approximate birth year of my great grandfather John NELSON and the supposed names of his parents – John NELSON and Anna INGEMAN. I’ll call my great grandfather John NELSON (Jr) and his father John NELSON (Sr) so that we can distinguish between them. I have little information concerning John NELSON Jr. because he probably died in Chicago in 1894 on the way back to Norway, after he fathered my grandfather Everett NELSON, in Michigan, USA. All that that he left behind is this story and a marriage record from 1893 in Michigan when John NELSON Jr. married my great grandmother Maggie Loague.My approach has been to search for an Anna INGEMAN in the 1865 and 1875 Norwegian census. Using the locations where an Anna Ingeman or similar lived, I then looked in the 1886 Matrikkel for a potential John NELSON Sr. in the immediate area, supposing that he married Anna INGEMAN to produce John NELSON Jr.The most likely location I found in the 1865 census is 1134 Sulda, Qvaestad (Rogaland), where I found two unmarried Anna INGEMUNDSDATTER, one born 1845 and one born 1856, and very near in Berjorden, I found a Johannes NILSEN. See the Matrikkel below my questions, and the census data below that.MY QUESTIONS:Does anyone know the history of these two farms (Kvaestad, Berjorden)? If so, is it possible that a Johannes NILSEN from Berjorden married an Anna INGEMUNDSDATTER from Kvaestad? Can anyone direct me to where I can find marriage and birth records for these locations for the years around 1870? Or do you personally know the genealogy of this couple and their descendents? I would be grateful for any assistance your may offer, many thanks, Paul R. Nelson.1886 MATRIKKEL1.
