Hi Sverre! Did you know that Lom kirkebok (burials) is online at digitalarkivet? (1733-1801). Maybe you can find some of your relatives there? Laila

Sevald was born in Lom 1745 or 46 (bapt. Jan 16 1746) to parents Ola Tostensson (ca 1714 - 1775) and Mari Sevaldsdtr (ca 1703 - 1773). We don't have information to identify any of them. They married in Lom 1744, and the farm name use as his "family name" was then Krøkje.Yours, Arnfinn Kjelland ak@hivolda.no
