[#77609] Where is Vega? Ole Christophersen Vale of Buskerud b. abt 1709 in Vega

[Gjest Melissa Hvidsten]

My ancestor Ole Christophersen Runtom Vale was supposedly from Vega. Does someone know where Vega is? He married Randi Eriksdtr Myhre of Eiker 12 Nov 1737. I'm unsure who his parents were.

[Gjest Bjørn Davidsen]

Vega is an island at Helgeland (Bronnoe) in Nordland.

[Gjest Jon Mamen]

There is a farm Vego in Eiker.

[Gjest Ron Berg-Iverson]

They were married in Eiker. Ole Christopersen Runtom was his given name.Runtom ( Rundtom ) is in Drammen so I believe Ole was also born in Eiker.I found a Randi Erichsdr. chr.6 June 1718 in Eiker.Father Erich Truelsen. ( 1 ) Do you have a birth year for Ole? Ron

[Gjest Knut Frode Hansen]

There are at least 6 small farms in Eiker called Rundtom.

[Gjest Melissa Hvidsten]

According to his death/burial record (24 Feb 1799), he was 89 yrs, 4 months, and 1 day. This means he was born about 1709.
