Berthe Gurine Olsdatter
(aka Berthe Vensland)
Berthe was born Berte Gurine Olsdatter January, 1847 in Vennesla, Norway to
Ola Sjurson Stebakken born 1815 and Torborg Gurine Olsdatter born 1821.
Stebakken was the farm name. Ola was son of Sjur Kristenson
Aalefjaer. Torborg was the daughter of Ola Auensen Rauarmonen and Berte Andersdattere Huset. Ola married Torborg in 1845.
We also found Berthe and her parents and siblings in the 1865 Norway census.
We have been able to trace Berthe's family family back to the 17th century with help from
Rik Vigeland and Torbjorn Justnes who we have found are (very!) distant
relatives. Rik lives in the US and Torbjorn lives in Kristiansand, Norway.
Ola Auenson Rauarmonen was brother to Rik's ancestor Markus Auenson Knausen.
