Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 26 Oct 1805, Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

Jim calls him Kristen Andrisson Kolstad, I24133 in his VS, b. 1805 on Køllstad 47/6 Eikra Øystre Slidre.

dwfrench1 has him dying on Kolstad in 1878.

As cited by dwfrench1, a 51 year-old Christen Andersen Kolstad married Marit Thorsdatter Rudi, 30, on January 20, 1856, in Øystre Slidre. The groom’s father is, seemingly mistakenly, called Anders Christensen in the marriage record. The bride’s father is Thor Nilsen.

Baptism:
Røgn

Kristen married Marit Olsdatter RUDI on 26 Mar 1829 in Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. Marit was born on 24 Jun 1804 in Øystre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway; died on 10 Apr 1853 in Øystre Slidre i Valdres, Oppland, Norway. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There is some disagreement on this wife of Kristen Andersen.

Jim, for example, calls her Marit Eriksdatter Rudi but with no other information.

The previous entry in geneastory for Kristen Andersen's first wife had her as Marit Olsdatter, born 1807, the daughter of Ole Tostensen Melby. Although the bride in Kristen Andersen's 1829 marriage is shown as age 23, perhaps reasonably consistent with an 1807 birthdate, it is more likely that dwfrench1's assignment is correct and that is what is now shown here. dwfrench1's assignment is for Kristen A's first wife is Marit Olsdatter Rudi born in 1804. The crucial evidence for the 1804 Marit is that Kristen A remarried in 1856 and the death records show that a Marit Olsdatter Kolstad died in 1853 at the age of 49.

dwfrench1 also suggests a possible earlier marriage for that Kristen A and Marit O as 26 Apr 1826 in Rogne. That would explain Anders Kristensen’s 1828 birth not being shown as illegitimate. However, I could not find the 26 Apr 1826 marriage record in digitalarkivet.

The 1807 Marit Olsdatter is now included in geneastory as the wife of Tollev Gudbrandsen Magistad per dwfrench1's French Family Tree.
