[#60730] Anne Marie married to Isak Andersen Kvanvig - 1762

[Gjest Eivind B. Jensen]

In the Digitalarkivet digitized parish records for Lund (Rogaland), there is a record of Anne Marie, born to Thor Grønnesund in April 1734. Is this the same Anne Marie Torsdatter married to Isak Andersen Kvanvig in Hidra, Vest-Agder, in 1762?

[Gjest Jan H. Trelsgård]

I don't think anyone knows for sure. Tor Grønsund's full name was Tor Trondsen. He grew up at Flikkeid, a cotter's farm at Eide in Nes parish (Flekkefjord).In the early 1730's Tor was a leaseholder at Kleppe in Hidra parish, then he moved to Grønsund in Nes parish. In the late 1730's he was living at store Håland in Hidra parish. The farm at store Håland was sold by him in 1745. I do not know where he went after that and I do not know the name of his wife.Kleppe, store Håland and Grønsund are all farms in the vicinity of Kvanvik. There are only a few miles between them. The idea that Anne Marie was Tor Trondsen's daughter is therefore plausible but so far I have not been able to find any evidence that it is actually true.
