Jeff, Sorry, I didn't really respond to what it is you want to know. In working backward from what you know, I started with the first-born Mari's birth registration to see if I could come up with anything pertinent. She is on the right-hand page, born 23 October / baptized 29 November 1829, in Kvikne: Oppland county, Kvikne in Fron, Parish register copy nr. 3 (1816-1850), Birth and baptism records 1830, page 35. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8923&idx_id=8923&uid=ny&idx_side=-36 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070131610039.jpg I didn't find anything to help me, so I went looking for the marriage of Hans and Mari and nailed it on my first look. They are entry #2, bottom of the page. Hans is listed as 25-years old (born about 1804) and Mari as 30-years old (born about 1799). I have some difficulty reading the other info; maybe someone with better eyes can make out the entries. Oppland county, Kvikne in Fron, Parish register copy nr. 3 (1816-1850), Marriage records 1829, page 197. http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8923&idx_id=8923&uid=ny&idx_side=-161 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070131610164.jpg Have a nice day!
