[#10436] Grytte Parish More og Romsdal

[Gjest Kathryn Yates]

Looking for the age of my grandmothers mother Marit olsd. Rodstol. Also what parish would Rodstol upper Romsdale be? Thanks for your help.

Rødstøl is the name of at least two farms in Gryten (spelling of 1865 census)parish in the county of Møre og Romsdal. I really don`t know what census to search in since you do not give any details, i. e. your grandmother`s name or her approximate year of birth. Anyway, I did try the 1865 census. There is a Marit Olsdatter who works as a maid servant or housekeeper at one of the Rødstøl farms. She is 30 years old, not married and has two children, Andrias Hanssen 6 and Marit Eriksdatter 3.

I am quiet sure this is the one. I don't have her birth date but her daughter is Marit Eriksdatter B 25 Dec 1862 Grytent Parish she would be age 3. Can you tell where they went from the Rodstol farm. The 3 year old Maret is my grandmother.Do you show a birth date for the 30 year old Marit.

If your grandmother`s father was Ole Eriksen, her second name must be Olsdatter (daughter of Ole) and not Eriksdatter.

I was told Father Ole Eriksen so she would be olsdatter. Marit B 1862 Dec 25

Tell me about the farm name Rodstol is she working as a housekeeper there or is it the home of her parents. When was Marit Olsdatter Rodstol born?Thanks so much for your help I really do appreciate.
