Guest Chicago Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Hi! I would greatly appreciate your help by translating this baptismal record, especially that bottom comment. I recently discovered that my ancestor Jonas Jansen [Jahnsen, Jonsen] had an illegitimate daughter Anne Dorothea, born 20 Sep 1827 and baptized 7 Oct 1827 in Aker, with Anne Marie Olsdatter Vaterland. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/7719/38929/205 Jonas Jansen was a widower (Enkemand), aged 42 (born 1772-1773), when he married Berthe Marie Jansdatter i Bjergfjerdingen, aged 20, on 15 Nov 1815 in Aker. The witnesses were Politibetjent Steene and Ole Jansen (I have been unable to determine who either of them was). https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/757/200 Jonas Jansen died on 28 Apr 1836, aged 62 (born 1773-1774), in Aker. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/7694/82259/33 He had ten legitimate children with Berthe Marie, and I am descended from their daughter Anne Marie Jonasdatter (1817-1882), who married Carl Herman Ramm (1813-1875). I have been unable to find out the name of the first wife of Jonas Jansen or locate his baptismal record. I cannot determine which Jonas Jansen, if any, was the right one on the 1801 census. I am hoping that Anne Dorothea's baptismal record can provide a clue about the origin of Jonas Jansen, which I have been unable to find for many years. Thank you very much for your help.

Berit Knudsen Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Easier to read: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061108030125 Jonas is not the father of Anne Dorothea. Her mother gave birth in the house of matros(sailor) Jonas Jahnsen in Bergfjerdingen, and the father is batchelor and carpenter Bernt Vestermark in Møllergaden.

Guest Chicago Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Dear Berit: Thank you very much for very quickly providing the 2nd link regarding the baptism of Anne Dorothea and telling me that her father was not Jonas, but Bernt. That was most generous of you. I greatly appreciate it. Guest Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
