Konrad Knudsen/Knud Nielsen

[Konrad Knudsen/Knud Nielsen]

Konrad Knudsen was born on October 11, 1870 to Knud Nielsen Østerhus and Andrea Berntsdatter Hagestad in Birkenes parish - recorded on page 18 Birkenes i Tveit churchbook 1867-1886 entry 40. It is noted that Knud Neilsen was from Haegland in Vigmostad. A search of the Vigmostad church record finds no Knud Nielsen having been born at Haegland in Vigmostad.

However, At Haegland in Konsmo I do find a Knud Nielsen born in 1846 to Neils Torjusen at Haegland, Konsmo. That Knud Nielsen migrated to Aust Agder around 1862 and later lived in Fjaere. Can this be the same Knud?

This may be "your" Knud Nielsen in Fjære in 1875: http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=6&filnamn=f70923&gardpostnr=692&personpostnr=4546&merk=4546#ovre

Here he is born in 1845, but the year of birth need not be quite correct in this sort of settings.

The place "Konsmo" is written "Korsnismo" here (but I think it means the same place).

 

I can see that this is not an answer to your question, but perhaps a little help if you don´t have this yourself?

 

Here is Andrea Berntsdatter 15 years old in 1865, five years before the birth of her son Konrad: http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=1&filnamn=f60928&gardpostnr=248&personpostnr=1252&merk=1252#ovre

We find the names of Birkenæs (Birkenes), Thvet (Tveit) and Hagestad here.
