Takk Jan but I saw that.That Peder A. d.1850 Omund and Gjertrud also had a son Peder Amundsen b.4 Aug.1811 in Helleland,Rogaland next to Lund. This might be Peder Amundsen in 1875 Øksnes. Kirke records for Langenes 1866 are not posted yet. There are 2 marriages for Peder and Gjertrud in FS. One in Øksnes and the other in Langenes.There is no marriage in Øksnes for Peder in Oct. 1866 ( digital records ) so I believe they married in Langenes. Takk for the interest. Ron

Peder Amundsen b.1811 Lund and chr.4 Aug 1811 in Helleland is the same person.Died in 1850. Peder Amundsen in 1865 Census for Øksnes says he was born ca.1812 Lund but 1875 Census for Høidalen( Høydal )in Øksnes says Peder was b. 1810 Lund Parish. Marriage in FS for 1866 says Peders father was Amund Pedersen,but his age is wrong ( 32 ) He was about 54 when he married Gjertrud (25)in 1866. Ron

1. In a document related to his military service Peder Amundsen gave his birth of date as July 31, 1814 and his fathers name as Peder Amundsen, Lund.2. Peder married Gjertrud Gjertsdtr Oct 20, 1866, in Øksnes church. Gjertrud was born aprox. 1842 in Førde, Sogn and Fjordane county, parents Gjert Johannesson and Pernilla Berntine Larsdtr.3. The couple first lived at Sørvågen (in Langenes parish), then at Godvika and Myre nedre (both in Øksnes parish) before they settled at Høydalen in 1874.4. The got six children: Indianna Teresia Berntine (1866-1954, Peder Olai (1869-1873), Amsdorf (b. 1872), Peder Helmer Olai (b. 1875), Dyveke Maria (b. 1878) and Didrik Mandus (b. 1882).5. Peder Amundsen died Dec 5, 1882. It looks like Gjertrud moved from Øksnes as a widow. She lived in Eidsfjorden (Hadsel parish) for a few years in the 1880's, but after that I haven't observed her.

Tussen takk Johann I did see in 1865 Census that Hertrud Johannesdatter in Oksnes came from Førde and Peder Amundsen came from Lund.But when they married and lived in Høidalen in 1875 Gjertrud came from Domkirkens S. Bergen.Its been a puzzle with Peders age also. Dyveke Marie b.1878 married my grandfathers brother Alfred Otar Iversen in Ånstad in 1905. I am in contact with a cousin in Skjold and she will be so pleased to have her grandmothers ancestry.Thanks again. Ron
