Norway - trying to find more info on an ancestor
« on: Wednesday 09 August 17 23:16 BST (UK) »
Hi there! I'm trying to trace back from Anne Olsdatter Eltedalen Søndre who married Peder (Per) Halvorsen Eltedalen [Søgarn] in Trysil (Tryssil) but can't find any further information on Anne. Can someone help me please?? Is it possible she was born outside Trondelag or even over the border in Sweden? Or is there another variant of her name I haven't considered e.g. Anna or Ane or Anniken, Olsdotter or Olasdatter or Olsdottir etc?
Would be very grateful for a little help!

Hi again

I would prefer records from the Norwegian Church Books if you have them.
Also where did you get all the birth dates from.

I have not seen these books. The dates are from the link above. There might be records on botillen.net?

Hi
It's just that the books don't go that far back. There are books and a cd for Trysil to buy. The books are even online I saw somewhere.
