| DOROTHEA3 DAVIDSDATTER (DAVID OLSEN2 LISBAKKEN, OLA KNUTSEN1 ROGNSTAD) was born 02 Apr 1821 in Hurdal, Akershus, Norway, and died 23 Mar 1907 in Conde, Spink County, South Dakota. She married (1) OLE IVERSON 23 Sep 1844 in Hurdal, Akershus, Norway, son of IVER OLSEN. He was born 1825, and died 11 Sep 1847. She married (2) ISACH CHRISTIANSEN 29 Apr 1850 in Hurdal, Akershus, Norway, son likely of either KRISTEN OLSEN and KAREN OLSDATTER. or of this CHRISTIAN ISACSEN GLASVERK & MARGRETHE GULBRANDSDTR. There is debate about which Isach/Isak Christiansen born in 1822 is the family ancestor: The family ancestor Christian/Kristian was born 09 Jul 1822 (Christened 14 Jul 1822) or born 18 Jan 1922 (Christiened 27 Jan 1822), in Hurdal, Akershus, Norway. The family known Isac Christiansen died 13 Jan 1906 in Conde, Spink County, South Dakota. In, 1980, Oslo Statsarkivet provided a certificate to descendant, Eugene Althoff, that the Christian Isacsen Glasverk & Margrethe Gulbrandsdtr were the parents of Isac Christiansen and that Isac was born 18 Jan 1922 and Baptized 27 Jan 1822. The second parents are more likely. Isach son of Christian whose father is Isac, fits naming patterns. The second parents also married shortly before the birth of Isac, the marriage was 4 Jan 1822. Here is the information on Christian Isacsen Glassverk and Margrethe Gulbrandsdtr: Hurdal Kirkebok 3 1815-1828 page 403 # 3 Marriage 4 Jan 1822 bach. Christian Isachsen Glswks, age 27 and Margrethe Gulbrandsdtr Garsjøen eie No father's names. Wit. were Christian Fagernes and Ole Halvorsen I found in KB 1 1777-1812 the following which I believe are the right people: page 48b, bapt. 14 Jan 1795, Christian, son of Isach Christophersen Knain and Catrine Knudsdtr page 88, bapt. 1 Nov 1801, Margrethe, dtr of Gulbrand Olsen Garsjøen and Anne Jacobsdtr Children of Christian and Margrethe: KB 3 page 116 # 17 Born 18 Jan 1822, Bapt. 27 Jan 1822 Isach son of Christian Isachsen and Margrethe Gulbrandsdtr page 152 # 22 Born 17 Feb 1824, Bapt. 28 Feb 1824 Gulbrand same parents. page 184 # 9 Born 12 Jan 1827, Bapt. 4 Feb 1827 Christopher same parents. Hurdal Kirkebok 4 1828-1845 page 14 # 92 Born 7 Oct 1829, Bapt. 1 Nov 1829 Carl same parents. page 34 # 69 Born 21 Oct 1832, Bapt. 18 Nov 1832 Antonette same parents. page 57 # 84 Born 2 Oct 1835, Bapt. 25 Oct 1835 Andreas same parents. Hurdal Kirkebok lookups by Ona B. Harp. Note: the findings seem to favor these Christian Isacsen & Margrethe Gulbrandsdtr as parents of Isac Christiansen, husband of Dorothea Davidsdatter. But we still have questions and will maintain both parent options until we have more evidence.. Posted by Fred Matson 31 January 2007 |
