Something in this story may be right, something wrong, but if your ancestor was buried in a church in Trondheim, my guess is that this must have been Bakke church. This church is built of timber and was erected in the beginning of the 1700s a mile East of Trondheim (Strinda parish). Abt. 1900 (I think it was the 1890s) this church was moved 5 - 10 meters due to a change in the road system(!). It seems reasonable that if there were any graves inside the church, they had to be displaced at first. Knut Bryn, Molde
