[#76061] Jon Olsen Lunde and Berthe Catherine Jorgensdtr Solum of Eiker, Buskerud

[Gjest Melissa Hvidsten]

I am looking for where this couple came from, who their parents are, etc. I've been stumped on this for quite some time now and would appreciate any help. This couple probably married between 1785-1790 in a parish near Eiker. They have children baptized in Eiker beginning in 1790. Berthe was confirmed in Eiker in 1779 at age 16 and her farm was listed as Solum. That appears to be a sub-farm of Fossum. I can find no marriage record or baptism for her in Eiker though. I can find nothing on her husband Jon prior to his children's baptisms. I do have them in the 1801 census on the Lunde farm, in Eiker.List of children: Lenke

Never mind. I think I just found a lead on them finally.

The baptism of this Berthe falls in years where the records are not filmed or are missing. However, someone entered a date for her birth/baptism in the IGI. Does anyone know if baptism records for 1759 in Eiker really exist somewhere? The only ones filmed are those for illegitimate births. Someone provided a baptism date for her in the IGI (12 Jul 1759), but I can't see where someone would have been able to find this baptism record for Berthe Catherine, so I'm starting to wonder if the IGI record is fake... Some of the rest of the family info provided by the source for the IGI looks wrong too. I still can't find a marriage record for Berthe and Jon either - just the 1801 census and her burial record. Neither lists a baptism date so I don't see how someone could know unless there are actually records not filmed somewhere. Does anyone know?
