[#5748] Seborg Nilsdatter - Nordre Navnløs - Jølster

[Gjest Jan Holmes]

I am searching for the ancestors of Seborg Nilsdatter from the Nordre Navnløs farm in Jølster. She married Niels Danielsen on March 31, 1782. Together they lived on the Sælmyr Farm before moving to Hammer Parish in Hordaland. Can anyone help me?Thank you.

My guess is that Seborg could be the daughter of Niels Rasmussen Navnløs and Synneve Olsdatter Heggem who married in Jølster 1744. This Niels could well be a son of Rasmus Andersen Navnløs and Marete Andersdatter who married in 1715. But all this of course would have to be checked against the churchbook for Jølster. Good luck!

Thank you very much Mr. Mathisen. Unfortunately, I do not have easy access to the church book. Could you tell me if I need "Soga um Jølst fram til 1801, og litevetta um Breim"? Does "Bygdebok for Jølster: ættesog 1801-1974"start in 1801?Thanks!

"Bygdebok for Jølster: ættesog 1801-1974" starts in 1801 - it starts where "Soga um Jølst fram til 1801, og litevetta um Breim" ends. "Soga um Jølst...." is not written in conventional norwegian, but in a sort of dialect and may be hard to read, even with a dictionary, if you don't read norwegian.
