I have information on a Skanke family in Hedmark, which I can dig up if you think it's worth the effort?

I am pretty sure about the location, since they are mentioned in the bygdebok for Høyland and the children appear in the parish registers. The Trane family is pretty well documented, but I've been stuck on the Skanke's. I've seen information online that states Dorotea was born in Trondheim or Bergen. Hedmark could always be a possibility if there was a Skanke family there during that time period. I would be grateful for any information you have. Thanks!
