[#67966] Grethe Sophie Willemsdatter from Vanse

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

I am looking for information about Grethe Sophie Willemsdtr, b ca 1766. She married Evert Ingvorsen Tomstad in 1788. Evert was born 1765 at Vere. See this link for their marriage:[url="http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9881&idx_id=9881&uid=ny&idx_side=-263>LenkeI can't find any record of her birth. The closest match I found was Trine Sophie Williamsdtr b 1765 at Houe østre (d/o William Petersen & Grethe Marie Torsdtr). But she is called Grethe in the 1801 census and in her marriage record. So, I'm not sure she is the right one.Other possible parents are: Willum Sivertsen & Anna Danielsdtr, here is their marriage: LenkeWillum Tollisen & Oluv Adriansdtr, here is their marriage:

The first couple you found, William Petersen and Grethe Marie Torsdtr got a daughter Grethe Dorthea in 1777 who died in 1780 according to FS: [url="http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/IGI/individual_record.asp?recid=100021939067&lds=1®ion=12®ionfriendly=Norway&frompage=99>Lenke

I think her parents are Villum Andersen Kalleberg and Kirstine Pedersdatter. They got married 8 feb 1762 [url="http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/igi/individual_record.asp?recid=100283551904&lds=1&region=12&regionfriendly=Norway&juris1=Norw9VAgd&juris2=VAgd&juris3=&juris4=&regionfriendly=&juris1friendly=Vest-Agder&juris2friendly=&juris3friendly=&juris4friendly=>Lenke LenkeHer sister Kirstine Marie and brother Peder Kristian are still on the farm Kalleberg in 1801 census LenkeWhen Kirstine Marie's son Willem Andreas is baptized 13 dec 1789, Grethe Sophie Willumsdatter Tomstad is a witness

Thank you Kjellaug & Harald!Yes, this seems like the right family. I wonder why there is no birth record for Grethe Sophie in Vanse?? Well... I couldn't find one. I could not find a baptism for her sister, Kirstine Marie, either.Harald, can you make out the farm name for Kirstine Pedersdatter in the marriage record?I wondered if someone who had the bygdebok for Vanse might find something about Grethe Sophie at either Kalleberg or Tomstad.mvh Patti
