Norwegian Research Part 15 - Reider Toralf Bakke

Part 15 - Norwegian research
Although I still have a few more parish records to obtain for Adolf Olsen Bakke's family, I'm more interested now in moving on to his father's family.

So far, from census records, I know the following about the family of Ole Andersen Bakke:

Ole Andersen Bakke born 1829 Blakjer
married to
Juliane born 1829 Sørkedalen
with children
Adolf Olsen Bakke born 19 Jul 1859 Christiania, confirmed 1873 Eidsvoll parish, Akershus county
Oskar Olsen Bakke born 1862 Eidsvoll parish, Akershus county
Sofie Amalie Bakke born 1865 Eidsvoll parish, Akershus county

There is a marriage on FamilySearch 'Norway Marriages 1660-1926' for a Sofie Amalie Bakke with father Ole Andersen Bakke, to an Aksel Ludvig Eriksen with father Johannes Eriksen in Christiania (Oslo, Oslo) on 4 Nov 1888. 

 I think we can safely assume this is our Sofie - but I will have to look up the LDS catalogue to see which parish the film number belongs to so I know which parish register in Christiania (Oslo) to look in on digitalarkivet to find the marriage.

First I'll look for Oskar and Sofie's baptism records in Eidsvoll parish in Akershus, the county neighbouring Christiania/Oslo. 

 Back to the digitalarkivet home page in English and click on 'Digitised Parish Registers' then moving onto a Norwegian page to select under 'Velg fylke' - Akershus, which then brings up a list of all the parishes and their registers in Akershus county. 

 For Oskar I need Eidsvoll baptisms for 1862 and find them in the Eidsvoll Klokkerbok 1861-1866. I can click '1862' and it will take me to the beginning of this year in the register. I'm hoping since it is a rural parish, it won't have too many entries for the year. I've changed the size to 100% and am using the arrows at the top or bottom to move to the next page.

I haven't found Oskar in 1862, so have continued onto 1863 as there are still 1862 births in this lot of baptisms. Finally found him baptised on 14 Jun 1863. He was born 31 Dec 1862. The baptism gives me his mother's name, although I'm not sure what it says: Juliane Petrine (Entesdatter??). Seems an odd name so I'm sure it is not right.

Time to plan ahead - where will you take your family history research this year?

In extraordinary times, it is often useful to revisit the past to put life into perspective. I was reminded of this as my current task having some free hours on hand is to prepare my wall full of paper files ready for scanning to digital and searchable files. In the process I have had to review the contents of numerous folders of family trees, notes from family gatherings, photographs and newspaper cuttings, and background historical data gathered to help inform my family histories. What a discovery process in itself ! What lives the ancestors lived - through pandemics, wars, floods, fires, heat waves, droughts, economies failing, illness and setbacks year after year, no matter what location they lived in and no matter the era. Sometimes you wonder how we all came to be where we are in relatively good health and reasonably good spirits - So here is your chance to look ahead and work towards the future for when our doors open and you have a chance to take advantage of the wo

2023 and it is time for new discoveries

 As we launch into another year of research and discovery, it never fails to amaze me how wrong my deductions and conclusions can be after 50 years of seeking out family history. That may seem alarming, but the truth is that we have so many new tools to discover and review our history.  We have DNA evidence for the first time which can help define the path of our research and help us to understand so many characteristics and traits that we might never have thought of through our family stories alone.  It can help us with medical and health issues that might be found in our various family lines - information that can be very useful when combined with new discoveries in medicine and building awareness in our families of issues of concern. My Norwegian ancestry has led us to become aware of the Kell antibody which impacts on the success of blood transfusions - a useful piece of information for current health issues of late, but also of interest in the causes of death on death certificates
