Norwegian Research Part 3 - Reider Toralf Bakke

Part 3 - Norwegian research

Next stop, Digitalarkivet (the Digital Archives of Norway), English version -http://www.arkivverket.no/eng/Digitalarkivet - here you will find an enormous amount of genealogical records for free.

I'll enter 'Reidar Bakke' in the basic 'Personsøk' search and see what happens. Surprisingly there are several different Reidar Bakkes come up, but a slow scrawl down the list finds our Reidar Toralf Bakke, born 1892, in a Christiania census in 1900.

FOLKETELLING 1900 FOR KRISTIANIA KJØPSTAD
Grønlandsleret 1 (note: this street in Grønlands sydlige congregation)
Adolf Olsen Bakke b.1859 in Christiania, Snedkersven ved Stadsbanen (joiner journeyman with the city's railway/railway station?? - might become clearer later)
Helga Sofie Bakke b.1887 in Christiania, unmarried, daughter
Reidar Toralf Bakke b.1892 in Christiania, unmarried, son
Karl Gustav Fritjof Bakke b.1882 in Christiania, unmarried, son, Snedkerlæling (apprentice joiner/cabinetmaker)
Snefrid Aksilie Fransis Bakke b.1895 in Christiania, unmarried, daughter
Sigrid Borghild Bakke b.1899 in Christiania, unmarried, daughter
Karen Hansen b.1862 in Kongsvinger, servant

The census also tell us that the type of residence was a farmhouse, which contained 2 shops and a restaurant and was owned by a Carl Jenssen, restauranteur.

Norwegian Research Part 18 - Reider Toralf Bakke

Part 18 - Norwegian research In the Oslo Domkirke parish register 1848-1865 image 383 we have: No. 10, 1859, Jan 31, bachelor, snedkersvend Ole Andersen Bakke and single woman Juliane Petrine Eriksdatter . Ole born Aurskog??, living ??, ag e 29 and a half years, father: Anders Olsen, gaardbruger (farmer), bestman: Peder Olsen AND Juliane born Aker, age 24 and a quarter years, father: Erik Pedersen (Norman??), gartner (gardener), bestman: Edvard Eriksen. Banns 5, 12, 19th Dec. Both vaccinated for smallpox. I think Peder Olsen's occupation is 'Høker' which is a provisions dealer and Edvard Eriksen's occupation is perhaps Skomager..... (some sort of shoemaker). Details like this can always be checked later from other records if clarification is needed. This record confirms Ole's full name of Ole Andersen Bakke - for some reason it was not transcribed properly on FamilySearch. It always pays with Scandinavian names to check indexes with both the patronymic name (in...

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.
