[Gjest Gene Nelson]

I am trying to document grandparents who I believe lived in Buckerud County. Information I have starts with a g...grandfather Gulbrand Torstensen Aslachsrud who was baptised on 3 Dec 1769 [url="http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8524&idx_id=8524&uid=ny&idx_side=-204>Lenke . I am trying to find his parents and grandparents. Father: Torsten Østensen, Aslachsrud born about 1730. Birth place unknown. Parents unknown. Died on Aslachsrud and buried Aug 1796 Lenke at age 66. Married to Kierstina Andersdtr on 29 Dec 1766 Lenke . Kierstina was born abt 1740. Birth place unknown. Parents unknown. She was confirmed in April 1758

Hi Gene,Found one possible candidate for 'your' Torsten (or Tosten) Østensen in Rollag, Buskerud (Rollag lies in the heart of Numedal valley and is not very far from Norderhov). Source: Buskerud fylke, Rollag, Ministerialbok #2, 1714-1748, Fødte og døpte (1731), page 65 (about 1/3 down from the top on the left side): Lenke According to FamilySearch, the parents of Torsten were supposedly Østen Olsen (Skøne or Skjønne) and Giertrud Pedersdatter. I cannot, however, confirm this information from any source available to us.Regards, Roar
