[#52762] Engel Reinertsen Strømøen

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

I am trying to piece together the marriages of Engel Reinertsen (b. 1788 at Strømøen). I thought he was married 3 times, although I can’t find my source for that information now! So, maybe it was just twice…1) Children (mother's name not known) -– Maritte b. 1813 and Reinert b. 1814, both at Eidsvåg in Valestrand.2) Children (mother is Kari Reiersdtr) -- Malene b. Aug 1817, Reier b. Jul 1820, Kari b. Aug 1823, Tollef b. Jul 1826, and Thollak b. May 1831. All children born at Eidsvåg except Thollak, who was born at Eikeland.3) Kari Kolbensdtr Stue g. Jan 1862. No children from this marriage.Kari Reiersdtr died Jan 1861 at Eikeland, age 76. I believe she may be the daughter of Reier Halvorsen Røikenes & Marite Tollefsdtr Haugeland. That Kari was born 1786 at Staupe.Engel died Sep 1863 at Eikeland in Valestrand.I would appreciate any assistance!Hilsen Patti Mikkelsen

It looks like he was married only twice. The mother of Maritte (Marthe) bapt.20/3 1813 and Reinert bapt. 23/10 1814 was Kari Reiersdatter.Reinert nr. 2 and Maritte nr.2 on next page Lenke

Thanks! I didn't think to look at the confirmation records! I believe Engel & Kari must have been married in 1811, because the Fjelberg parish records for that year do not show marriages. I looked in 1812 Fjelberg (for Vikebygd) and 1810-1812 Stord (for Valestrand), and found nothing.About my other question... does anyone have the bygdebok for Vikebygd? I would like to know if there is information about Kari Reiersdtr Staupe b. 1786. She was the daughter of Reier Halvorsen Røikenes & Marite Tollefsdtr Haugeland. I believe she was the wife of Engel Reinertsen, but can't verify it. Engel & Kari did name one son Tollef, but I don't see a Halvor...Berit, thanks again for the help!Hilsen Patti Mikkelsen

There is not a bygdebok for Vikebygd yet. But you will find Staupe and Røykenes in Sveio III. Hilsen Johan Arthur Hansen
