Hi Renae, Thank you for responding to my post. I am familiar with the Slektshistorielaget and found the wedding of Niels Olsen and Anne Maria Christiansdatter there as well as their children. But no mention of her parents. I have searched but no luck. The IGI also has her wedding and children but again no parents. In the 1865 census Anne Maria states that she was born on Christiania. I am not able to search in Christiana and was hopeful that someone would be able to do so.

It was part of the administrative district called Land. In 1874, Land was split in two: Nordre Land and Søndre Land. Torpa became a part of Nordre Land. Then Nordre Land was split 1st of January 1914 and Torpa became a separate municipality with 2.219 inhabitants. This lasted until 1st of January 1962, when Torpa and Nordre Land, plus Tranlia of Fluberg, was joined to form the new Nordre Land municipality. At that time Torpa had 2.620 inhabitants. If you use the map service provided by Statens Kartverk (The Norwegian Mapping and Cadastrial Authority) at http://ngis2.statkart.no/norgesglasset/default.html and do a search under "Place names" for Torpa, the map service will take you to an area called "Fagerlund" along the Synna river. There is a possibility that there are some historical maps of Torpa available somewhere, but I have not looked for them. I do not have any detailed knowledge about this part of Oppland, and do not know if there is a separate name for the valley which this is in. Hopefully we have someone with more detailed knowledge of the area reading this list. One thing is for certain though; Torpa is not in part of Gudbrandsdalen. Have a nice day! (Ha en fin dag!)

In searching a bit more i found a contrary opinion about the legend of Ridderspranget. Too bad, it was such a good tale! Olaf Ridderspranget Skårvangsola was first married to Ivar Gamle Gjæsling, but that marriage was annulled in 1164, probably because it was it occurred under force. The next year she had a daughter Ragnhild with Erling Kviden. The legend has it that she was raped by Erling. It is this occurrence that lies behind the legend about Ridderspranget In this famous legend it is not Erling Kviden who is the main actor but Sigvat Kviden, also know as Sigvat of Leirholar. But Sigvat lived from 1270 til 1340, thus over a hundred years after Ivar Gamle Gjæsling. A grandson of Ivar Gamle Gjæsling was also called Ivar (Ivar Unge Gjæsling). But he was also dead before Sigvat Kviden was born. Sigvat Kviden from Valdres was a very powerful man. He was king Håkon Magnusson's (1270 - 1319) close friend and adviser, one who had the power over life and death. He was one of those who accompanied the King to Copenhagen in 1309 to sign the peace treaty with the Danish king. He was a man who was remembered. It is perhaps not so strange that he received the reputation of making the jump at Ridderspranget.

If you go back to the original thread, you will find that the expression is used in this form only for one article related to Heidal and one related to Sjoa. You mention that 4 of the side valleys should be included in this expression, while the Wikipedia only uses it for these two. If you do a Google lookup on the same expression you will find that the expression "Gudbrandsdalene" in addition to the Wikipedia is used in: www.answers.com (straight copy of the Wikipedia article), www.homestayfinder.com (another copy of the Wikipedia article), www.karen.holtsmark.no (which is a private page dealing with art), http://heidal.komixcity.sk (copy of the Wikipedia article), http://spiderbites.about.com (copy of the Wikipedia article), www.absoluteastronomy.com (removed copy of the Wikipedia article), Out of the links shown here, there is only one Norwegian link, all the other sites are maintained outside the country. The single Norwegian site is a private site which would not constitute a source for this expression. I have consulted Norwegian Mapping and Cadastrial Authority (Statens Kartverk, see www.statskart.no). They have confirmed that the term "Gudbrandsdalene" in plural is unknown to them, and from what they can see no such term has been used. They also informed that the various valleys are defined as separate areas, and that they have also defined the geographical borders between them. Whether the set borders always are in accordance with the local traditions for them is, according to the same authority, a matter of recurring discussions with municipalities and local organisations. I asked the authority if the term "Gudbrandsdalene" could be used to describe a district, similar to Romerike, Ringerike, Helgeland etc. They did not see that there was any historical tradition for this, nor had they seen any need or request for that in more recent time. When I pointed them to the Wikipedia and the use of the valley name in plural they recommended that it should be changed. Following their advice I have therefore edited the texts in the Wikipedia accordingly. Heidal is a separate valley on its own with strong historical and cultural relations to its neighbouring Gurbrandsdalen valley. I understand that this is what you refer to when you say that you come from both Heidal and Gudbrandsdalen. Ha en fin dag! (Have a nice day!) John Morten

The Son's of Norway in Mlps is going to send a cover story next week. I deeply appreciate your communication and effort Sincerely, Ron Brandon

I am seeking information to confirm whether or not my gggrandmother Anne Maria Christiansdatter was born in Christiania in about 1789 and who were her parents. Anne Maria Christiansdtr married Niels Olsen at the Segaard Church on 26 Nov 1816 in Biri/Snertingdal, Oppland. They had six children, four of them born on the farm Snartumeie in Snertingdal and two of them born in Vardal when they were at the farm Glæstad/Vestre Glæstad. Their daughter Agnethe Nielsdatter (my ggrandmother) was born in Vardal on 06 May 1831. Agnethe Nielsdatter married Ole Daffinsen (born 10 Jan 1835 in Vardal) on 27 Oct 1863 in Vardal, Oppland. The 1865 census for Vardal shows Anne Maria Christiansdatter living with Ole Daffinsen and Agnethe Nielsdatter. Anne Maria was then 77 years old and it states that she was born in Christiania. My question is was there a mistake in the census? Was Anne Maria born in Christiania or Kristians Amt (Oppland)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dick

I found an account of Sigvat in Norwegian but I have translated because it is an interesting story. If you google for Ridderspranget you'll get a number of hits with pictures of the Knight's Leap. Ridderspranget(The Knight's Leap) : There is an old legend that is supposed to tell the history of this narrow gorge where it is possible to jump across the foaming water flow, 10 meters below. (Don't try it yourself, even if it is possible) The legend goes as follows: "At Sandbu there lived an ancient knightly family that was called Gjæsling. They were a royal vassal family with roots right back to the time of St. Olaf, who christianized the nation. Between 700 and 800 years ago Ivar Gjæsling was the knight at Sandbu. At the same time there was a knight at Kvie in Valdres, his name was Sigvat and who had been in enmity with the Gjæsling family about the fishing rights in Heimdalsvatnet. If he met Ivar's men at the outlet there was a terrible conflict with slashing and blows while the fishing cottages and boathouses were burnt up. And if Ivar came back with weaponed men for revenge, Sigvat did not dare do anything but stay at home in Melby for Ivar commanded more and stronger people than Sigvat. In addition to the conflicts about Heimdalen something else came up that did not exactlyly ease the hatred between the two of them. At Nordi Skårvangen in Vågå, a girl grew up who was renowned in the whole valley and on the other side of the mountains because she was so incomparably beautiful. She soon went under the name of Skårvangsola among the people in the valley. Ivar Gjæsling owned farms in Skårvangen and saw her often when he went there. His desire for the girl grew steadily. When she had grown up he wanted her to move down to Sandbu to brighten his main farm there. But before that happened Sigvat Kvie, in one way or another, had seen Skårvangsola and got to know her. Since he was the most handsome of the two it was he that attracted her. But when Ivar Gjæsling heard of this he understood that it was not safe to leave her in Skårvangen if she was to be his. Against her will she was taken to Sandbu. But before he could hold! a proper feast before taking her in marriage he had to make an errand for the king to Lesja and Dovre and would be away for some days. He took his best men with him and rode off while only a few watchmen and workers remained on the farm. No sooner than Ivar Gjæsling had ridden out from the farm, Skårvangsola managed to send a message over the mountain to Melby and told Sigvat that she was now confined. If he wished to free her he must come quickly while the hawk was away. Sigvat did not have to be asked twice, he flew over the mountain with all the men under his command, killed all the guards and farm folk at Sandbu and took Skårvangsola up on his saddle and set fire to the farm. As he rode northward, he turned and saw the flames high over Sandbu and exclaimed, "Now the wolf will come out of his lair"! But before the buildings were burnt down Ivar had returned. He understood the situation and that the one who had stolen Skårvangsolen from him could not have gotten very far. The Kvie knight and his retinue had ridden hard until they came to Fuglseteren at Tesse where they were to rest for a few hours during the night. But in the early dawn Ivar Gjæsling and his men spotted them. A vigilant guard warned Sigvat, who threw himself on horseback with Skårvangsola and took the shortest way toward the Veo plateau. His squire followed him but the rest of his men were cut down to the last man at the seter. The Valdres knight now rode for his life but Ivar and his men were getting closer and closer. His horse was tiring and the only alternative he could think of was to head to the Sjoa River.. He knew of a place where the distance between the overhanging cliffs was no further than what a vigorous man could jump across the boiling water in a good bound. Since the Gjæslings were only a stone's throw behind him, he had no other choice. With Skårvangsola in his arms he made the leap on his worn-out horse - and made it! His squire jumped right after him but then Sigvat turned around and knocked him back into the rushing waters. Thereby he showed Ivar and the others what would happen to anyone who dared to try. With a drawn sword he awaited whoever dared. In this manner he had stopped his pursuers. He got back over the mountain and felt that he had kept his honour even though he had lost all his men in the raid. But the king later sentenced Sigvat to give a letter to Ivar Gjæsling ceding all of Heimdalen. But the narrow ravine where Sigvat saved himself with the girl in his arms has since been known as Ridderspranget."

Ty, While not a direct descendent, I have done a little research on Niels CHRISTOFERSEN and Kjersti CHRISTENSDATTER, married 18 April 1791 in Fåberg. According to my information (nothing is documented), they had three children: Gunhild was born about 21 Jul 1791 at the Raanerud Farm Christen was born 21 April 1794 at the Stræte Farm Christofer was born 05 June 1797 at the Stræte Farm This family appears in the 1801-telling for Fåberg (http://snipurl.com/scf9), but I suspect you already have this info. I have ZERO information on Christofer's marriage to Anne OLSDATTER. Have a nice day!
