I have now found the following ancestor in my family tree: Tore/Tord BENKESTOKK, born abt. 1346, died about 1427 in Talgøe, Findøe, Stavanger (Rogaland), Norway. Wife unknown. Son: Gard TORESSON TALGØ (Taljge), born abt. 1373 and died abt. 1427 at Gaard Gard, Talgøe, Findøe, Stavanger (Rogaland), Norway. Married Rambjørg KNUTSDOTTER LEJON, born abt. 1360 in Sweden and died after 1408. Does anyone have any additional information on this ancestor? And does anyone know where in Sweden Rambjørg comes from? Ellen
