Steffen Johanssen Brandvold from Grue, Hedmark

 Del

Recommended Posts

Steffen Johanssen's father was Johan Olsen and his mother was Johanna Jenssdtr.  From Grue church area in Hedmark, Norway. 

Steffen was born 9 /Sept., 1836. His wife was Karen Johansen Kristiansdatter  Venberget, born 20 April 1830.  Steffen and Karen died in

Minnesota USA in 1907  and 1909.  Are    Johan Olsen and Johanna Jensdatter the correct parents for Steffen?

Would Johan Olsen Frysjoberget and Johanna Jensdtr. Skara  be his parents?  Birth y ears 1790 and 1795?  Then Ole Stephensen ,born 1755 and Marti Kristoffersdatter

born 1759 , Johan's parents?

I'm confused as I see the Finnish surname 'purkainen' with this family or a similar named family.  I'd be happy to add some Finnish names but are they really belonging to

the  Stephenson family ?

 

Thanks for reading,

Carla J. Tweeton

I just post some links to get a first overview of the family:

1865-census:

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01038041003617

https://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1865&knr=0423&kenr=006&bnr=0046&lnr=00 (only in Norwegian):

No 45

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8881/167

As far as I can se, the farm name connected with Steffen and his father, is Frysjøberget. Ole Johansen Frysjøberget is one of the best men (forlovere), he might be a relative to the groom - brother, for instance? But the patronymic of groom's father should be Johan Olsen?

Steffen lived on Frysjøberget according to his confirmation record from Grue Finnskog 1851 - no 11. Parents: Johan Olsen og Johanne Jensdatter Frysjøberget:

Hedmark county, Grue, Brandval in Grue, Parish register (official) no. 8 (1847-1858), Confirmation 1851, Page 184
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8877/193

 

No 237:

Hedmark county, Grue, Brandval in Grue, Parish register (official) no. 7 (1830-1847), Born and baptised 1836, Page 51
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9156/51

 

Steffen's parents married in 1818 - no 44:

Hedmark county, Grue, Brandval in Grue, Parish register (official) no. 6 (1814-1830), Married 1819, Page 203
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/9154/202

 

As far as I can see, Johan Olsen is mentioned as "ungkar og jæger" and "tjenestedreng" (servant) on the farm Skarra. He was 23 years old. "Jæger" (or in modern Norwegian language: jeger) shows that he belonged to a military unit. His wife also was age 23 and a servant maid, Skarra.

Here is Steffen with his family in the 1875 census for Grue:

https://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1875&knr=0423&kenr=006&bnr=0064&lnr=00

  Kristian Steffensen s     1869 Grue  
  Ole Steffensen s     1872 Grue  
  Ole Steffensen Tjenestegut ug Snedkerdreng 1849 Grue  

 

From the 1865 and 1875 censuses I can see that one of Steffen's and Karen's daughters is called Johanna/Johanne, and she must be named after her paternal grandmother Johanne Jensdatter. In 1865 there is also a daughter Marthea - named after her maternal grandmother?

Johan Olsen being a fairly common name makes finding his birth and parents a little difficult. However there is a Johan Olsen born about 1796 whose confirmation is listed in the Grue records who has the farm name Frysjøberget. 

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/279/pk00000001267806

 

This might be the same person with a father named  Ole Stephensen born 5 May 1796, Grue Hedmark. From Ancestry.com 

 

Johan Olsen

 in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927

Name:Johan Olsen

Gender:Male

Baptism Date:5 mai 1796 (5 May 1796)

Baptism Place:, Grue , Hedmark, Norway

Father:Ole Stephensen

Mother:Marthe Christophersdr

FHL Film Number:124285

 

Ole and his wife Marthe are listed as living on the Frysjøberget farm for the birth of the son Johan.

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000009136392

 

Original record Nr 64. Not the easiest to read

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070603250059

 

Probably the same Johan Olsen and his parents living on the farm named Møystad in the 1801 Census. 

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01058241001539

 

Based on the baptism records for their first child, it would appear the Frysjøberget is a sub farm under Møystad. Here is the record for son Ole in 1792. 

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000009134457

 

Nr. 103

Tracing Johanne Jensdatter back in time is also not an easy task. But there is only one Johanne born to a Jens found in a Ancestry search for Grue Hedmark about 1795. 

 

Johanne Jensen

 in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927

Name:Johanne Jensen
[Johanne Mathissen] 

Gender:Female

Baptism Date:18 okt 1795 (18 Oct 1795)

Baptism Place:, Grue, Hedmark, Norway

Father:Jens Mathissen

Mother:Birthe Andersdr

FHL Film Number:124285

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000009136130

 

Nr. 156

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070603250047

 

This is likely Johanne and her family in the 1801 Census on the Lundbye farm. 

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01058241003372

 

Her confirmation

I did find at least one Family Tree on Ancestry.com with the ancestor of Johan listed as 

 

Ole Steffensen Karlstorpet Purkainen

1757–1826

BIRTH 1757 • , Grue, Hedmark, Norway

DEATH 07 FEB 1826 • , Grue, Hedmark, Norway

 

This may be where you are finding the reference to Finnish ancestry. I have not seen any thing in the original records that would confirm that, so I would approach it with a bit of skepticism. 

 

It might be necessary to see if more information on this family can be found in a Bygdebok for this area.

Assuming that we have the right ancestors with Ole Steffensen and Marte Christophersdatter. A big assumption perhaps but worth pursuing, here is their marriage. 

 

Ole Stephensen

 in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926

Name:Ole Stephensen 

Gender:Male

Marriage Date:15 sep 1782

Marriage Place:Brandvold,Hedmark,Norway

Spouse:Marthe Christophersdr

FHL Film Number:124284

 

15 sep 1782 is 15 p trinitas. So the original record should be on this page on the on before it, however I have not found it. Not easy to read the original from this far back.

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070603240522

 

Now here is where you are going to have to go to a bygdebok. Not always easy to do when you live in America but this far back in time just can not be done without the help of a bygdebok. Using a bygdebok would perhaps also clear up the issue of Finnish ancestry.

 

Ancestry.com gives a baptism record for a Ole Steffensen born 1857 in Grue, Hedmark. The name is right and the year is about where one would expect it to be but there is no certainty it is the right guy. 

 

Ole Steffensen

 in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927

Name:Ole Steffensen

Gender:Male

Baptism Date:29 mai 1757 (29 May 1757)

Baptism Place:Grue,Hedmark,Norway

Father:Stephen Povelsen

Mother:Maria Johansdr

FHL Film Number:124284

 

In the original record for Ole, the parents are Stephen Povelsen and Maria Johansdatter Karelstorpet. 

 

First entry on left hand page. 

 

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070603240223

 

There is a farm in Grue called Karlstorpet. In Family search 

 

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Grue_Parish,_Hedmark,_Norway_Genealogy

 

 Matches the farm name from the Ancestry.com tree above.

For what its worth, here is a very detailed Family Tree on Family Search, that I found for Stephen Paalsen Vålberget and Maria Johansdatter Carlstorpet that might be worth a look. 

 

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LH7F-NTZ?icid=amp_hdr_signintree

 

The  tree is a little short on sources. The Ole Steffesen born 29 May 1757 listed above is shown in this tree as 

 

Male

Ole Stephensen Askhoug

29 May 1757 – Deceased

Well I dug deep enough to come across your earlier post. I will post a link to it here for easy access. 

 

 

 

The Geni.com link that is found in the earlier post does have the same person being discussed in the last few posts. 

 

Ole Steffensen Purkainen Karlstorpet

 

https://www.geni.com/people/Ole-Purkainen-Karlstorpet/6000000039697641911?through=6000000012663996649

 

This Geni.com tree links forward  to 

 

Stepen (Steffen) Johansen Johnson 

Gender:Male

Birth:September 09, 1836 
Grue, Hedmark, Norway

Death:March 28, 1907 (70) 
Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, Minnesota, United States

Immediate Family:

Son of Johan Olsen Frysjøberget and Johanne Jensdatter Skara 
Husband of Karen Kristiansdatter Johnson 

 

These would seem to be the people in your original post. 

 

And the Geni.com tree links back to this person , Eight generations back from your Steffen Johansen from Fergus Falls. While I have not looked at the Geni.com tree in great detail it does seem to be sourced and quite detailed. 

 

Steffen Povelsson Mulikka 

Finnish: Tapani Paavonpoika

Gender:Male

Birth:circa 1595 
Saarijärvi, Lauka socken, Mulkamäki, Finland

Death:circa May 16, 1650 (46-63) 
Vålberget, Grue Finnskog, Grue, Hedmark, Norway
