Helge Ingebrigtsen Li indre c1680-1747 of Aurland parish

[Richard Einerson Tjøn]

Hi 

 

Just wondering if anyone happens to be familiar with this person. Based on a probate record found in the scanned sources (see Yttre Sogn skiftem. book 6b, page 520a),  I believe he was married to Ingeborg Ellingsdatter and was the father of Marita Helgesdatter who later married Hermund Kieldsen Flom. Surprisingly the probare document first lists Helge Ingebrigtsen's widow's name as Ingeborg Heljesdatter and later as Ingeborg Ellingsdatter. I suspect the latter may be correct. From the 1701 census search, I located a Hellie Ingebrigtsen, age 23, living on the place "Laugmandsaas" in Leganger Parish. I am not familiar with the term used in this entry: "saugmester."

 

Does any of this sound correct and do we know if Helge Ingebrigtsen came from Leganger and later settled on Li indre in Aurland parish?

 

Thank you,

 

Richard

According to the "Ættebok for Aurland", volume 2, page 297, Helge Ingebrigtsen Indreli was born around 1670, and he died in 1747. According to the book he married Ingeborg Helgesdatter (1678-1755) in 1710 and had three daughters: Synnøve, born 1710, Marita and Randi, born 1717. The book says he might be the brother of Elling Ingebrigtsen Fretheim.
