[#50068] Even Tostensen confirmation Strømsø/Tangen

[Gjest Cheryl Baker]

I am trying to read part of a confirmation entry for Even Tostensen that is on this link. (right hand page in first column)Lenke I cannot read where he is from in the entry. I am trying to find his birth record and have not been able to find it. I thought knowing the town would help be narrow down which birth records to search.Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me.

It seems to me like it says 'Nærstad.' This farm name is also given for entry no. 2, Mattis Olssen. There seems to be a farm called Nærstad on a map of Lier available on the Internet (Norgesglasset), but my knowledge of parish boundaries in the Buskerud area is extremely limited, so I don't know if it's the right farm.Mvh Brage

Hello!Even Tostensen was from 'Værket' = Konnerudverket (Konnerud, Skoger).JP

It sounds much better becaus he is not born in Lier or Norderhov 1779-81.

To everyone....Thank you very much for all of your help! I believe that Værket is correct because the family seemed to be from the Skoger area, at least for the most part. Hopefully he will show up in the Skoger birth records. So far I have not had any luck locating him there.Thanks again for the help. I really appreciate it.
