Updated genealogy pages - Troms:
Otte [Jacobsen?] Lorck
|
Otte is mentioned using a patronymicon only once – in «Norske Rigs-Registranter», volulme VII, page 176. Besides this case he is always named Otte Lorck or Lorch. According to Karlsøy og Helgøy Bygdebok the chief mate Otte Ottesen from Trondheim – settled at Nordeidet and married to Anne Christensdatter Bloch in her second marriage – was one of his sons. This must be a misunderstanding. He was never named Lorck, so there is no reason to assume that he was the son of Otte Lorck. They only had a given name in common! |

Mads Pedersen
|
I have not found any source whatsoever where he is named anything but Mads Pedersen! It is assumed in Karlsøy og Helgøy Bygdebok that Mads had the family name Søegaard. «In 1666 the priest of Karlsøy claimed that vogt Søegaard had taken the farming areas which the priest and the “clokker” [deacon] used at Reinsvoll, and given the piece of land to his son-in-law, Christen Knudsen, for him to establish a farm and a small fishing harbor there.» The book refers to the 1666-cencus, but this cencus do not include the family name «Søegaard»! It is therefore no reason to assume that he belongs to the danish «Søegaard»-family»! |

Anne Ottesdtter, married to Hans Tostensen Selnes |
Previously I have assumed that she was the daughter of chief mate Otte Ottesen
from Trondheim and later settled at Nordeide and Anne Christensdatter [Bloch]
in her second marriage. This was wrong and is now corrected! |

Lars Olsen Grepstad
|
According to Kulturbilder fra gamle Hillesøy by Jens Solvang, Lars was the son of Oluf Eidissen
Grepstad (who died around 1640) and Giertud Olsdatter. In an article in Yggdrasil 4/2017 Grebstad og litt Buvik – Litt om den eldre tid, Alvin Andreassen discuss previous material and states that the ancestor relationship assumed by «Kulturbilder» to the older generation at Grepstad cannot be correct as the widow of Oluf was named Anne. If Lars was he brother of Gjertrud, we have to raise the question where he has been prior to 1652, when he shows up as user of the whole Grepstad of 1½ våger fisk [measurement of fish] and is the owner of a jekt [an older norwegian broad and small sailing boat] of 16 lesters drektighet [old ship measurement of tonnage]. He probably married the widow Gjertrud Olsdatter, who most likely was the daughter of Oluf and Anne and in 1650 paid the captain- and chief mate tax. |

Henrich Hofnagel Trine Henrichsdatter Hofnagel Aase Henrichsdatter |
Previously I have assumed that Aase Henrichsdatter was the daughter of Henrich Hofnagel
and the sister of Trine Henrichsdatter Hofnagel. This was wrong, and is now corrected! |
Sophia Matthiasdatter Kierrisnæs |
The parents of Sophia was Kvens who had settled at Kierrisnæs in Målselv. The Kvens lives in northern Finland and the Tornedalen valley of northern Sweden. They speak a finnish-like language named Meänkieli, meaning «Our language». Her father - Mats [Matthias] Hansson - was probably the son of Hans Olofsson and Karin Matsdotter from Lainio in the parish of Jukkasjärvi. Her mother - Dordie [Dorothea] Henriksdotter - was probably the daughter of Henrik Matsson Kemiläinen and Sofia Niklasdotter Servio from the village of Jukkasjärvi. |
| Julius Aas |
Julius got my mother, Hildur Aas/Christiansen, outside marriage in 1910. In 1915 he also got the son Reidar Julius Aas/Clausen outside marriage with Laura Jensen. Julius died from consumption in 1916. |
| Nora Fredrike Jensine Nilsdatter |
My maternal grandmother married Adolf Johannes Christiansen on august 31, 1916, in Bergen. The biography of Adolf contained many errors and is corrected. |
| Hildur Aas/Christiansen |
In 1910 as well as in 1912 my mother was named Hildur Aas and not Hildur Nilsen! She presumably lived with foster-parents in Bergen until she 6 years old moved to her mother and step-father in Christiania. |
