[#3696] Synneva Johannesdtr. Swarthumble (Slettemark)

[Gjest Jim Bayard]

I am trying to find out the name of the parents for Synneva Johannesdtr. Swarthumble (Svarthumle), who was supposedly born between 1754-1757 in Kinn (Bremanger Parish). She was married to Kristian Bertels. Slettemarka in Førde (Naustdal)and had 5 children. Her death record indicates that she was born in 1754, but by searching online, I could find only one Synneva born at Swarthumble, and she was baptised in 1757. Unfortuantely, I have not been able to find any additional information, and I would like to thank everyone in advance for any assistance or suggestions.

Parish register of Kinn A 2, 1729-1785, shows on page 237b, that Synnewe, daughter of Johannes Eliasen Svarthumble, was baptised March 14, 1753. Witnesses: Ole Sætterlie, Ole Ramsdahl, Ole Johannesen, Dorthe Andersdatter, Synneve Johannesdatt.We do not find the marriage of Johannes Eliasen Svarthumle in our records, but he took over the farm in 1745, and it looks likely he is the son of Elias Martinsen Kleiven/Svarthumle, who married Synneve Johannesdatter Svarthumle in 1704.

Thank you very much for your help on this. It appears this could quite likely be the Synneve Johannesdtr. that I have been looking for. In addition, if Elias Martinsen (Mortonson) is the father of Johannes Eliasen, then as you said, he is from the Kleiven (Kleven) farm in Naustdal, and his father would be Martin (Morton) Peders. Thanks again.
