He is I1219 in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes: Gullik also owned Høyme 7/8 in Vestre Slidre, but he mostly lived in Garstad and probably used Høyme as a farm. He changed his residence to Høyme around 1711 for part of Skeie in Høre, which he had until then used next to Garstad.

Gullik married Barbro Embreksdatter GARSTAD. Barbro (daughter of Embrikt (Engebret) Bjørnson GARSTAD and Anne Knutsdatter HØVE) was born about 1664 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died about 1729 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jim’s notes in his VS suggest that there were two sisters with the same name and born at about the same time.

Jim’s notes:

Her father was Embrik Bjørnson (also called Børgeson) (1621-1690?) her mother was Anne Knutsdtr Høve (or Hovi) (-after 1707). They had the following children: Berit married to Torstein Kristensen Hålien grb 109/5 Ingrid married to Jøger Knutson grb at Dale Barbro married to Steffan Torgeirsson Brekken grb 91/1 and Barbro married to Gullik Kvien grb at Garstad.

Tomas married Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He had two daughters named Barbro. The bygdebok (Vang C, p. 304) provides no help in distinguishing the two in age or even providing a year of birth. All we have to go by is which of the two was listed first and which of the two was designated heir. And these two distinctions do not point to the same Barbro.

The estimable dwfrench1 has concluded that the older one, which he shows as born in about 1664, was the heir and became the husband of Gullik Thomasen Kvien. This Barbro, however, is not the first Barbro listed in the children of Embrik Bjornsson on Vang C, p. 304. If the older Barbro was born in ca 1664, then the older Barbro would be closer in age to Gullik and the younger Barbro, who we’re reasonable sure was born in about 1673 (a point agreed upon by Jim Ellingboe and dwfrench1), would be closer in age to her assigned husband, Steffan Torgeirsen. All of this reasoning is the basis for what is shown here. Basically, we’re assuming that dwfrench1 has correctly figured this out.

Jim’s notes: Embrik was fined 6 rds in 1655-56 for rape (legal case) against Anne, before they were married. In 1658-59 he was fined because he refused to transport some people and in 1660 he was knifed by Jon Myre, but survived.

Garstad is a very old farm. Inge is mentioned as a tenant on the farm in 1343. This is one of the few vangsocking mentioned in documents from before 1500. It says that a man called Arne was present at Inge's wedding at Stee, this year, "a Stædi i bridelaupi Inga a Gardzstadum". After this, not many names of users before Embrik are known, but it is not unlikely that the farm has been in the same family until Emrik's time.

Andris married Ingrid Knutsdotter MYRE before 1670 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Ingrid (daughter of Knut Aslaksson MYRE) was born in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died in 1699 in Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

See p. 567 Vang A.

She is I503 in Jim’s Ellingboe tree. His notes on her there suggest that, “she may have been the daughter of Knut Aslaksson Myre and Kari Knutsdotter on Nørdre Myre (Ino, later 47/1), although she is not listed among their children as given on page 796 of Vang A.” If Jim’s speculation is correct, then we would have expected to see a Knut or a Kari among Ingrid’s children. However, that does not seem to be the case.
