Ole Larson - death

My 2nd great grandfather, Ole Larson died October 29, 1879 in Odda parish, Hordaland County, Norway.   He was born in late summer or fall 1821.   Ole was either 57 or 58 at the time of his death.   I still have not been able to locate his baptism record so I am unable to confirm the month and day of his birth.

The Odda parish record below (entry #38) indicates he was born in 1829, however, that is in error.  Both his confirmation and marriage documents (which I have posted previously) place the year of his birth as 1821.




















Ole Larson's marriage record seems to indicate his father, Lars Olson was from Ragde, which is southeast of the Jordal farm.    Ragde is located southeast of the shores of lake Sandvevatnet.   I am not sure whether my 2nd great grandfather Ole Larson was born in Ragde but my search for his baptism record has been unsuccessful; either it doesn't exist or is not presently available.

Sigri Gunnersdatter and Ole Larson - marriage

Here is the Ullensvang parish marriage record for my 2nd great grandparents (#37), Sigri Gunnersdatter and Ole Larson.


















Sigri and Ole were married on July 14, 1849.    Like his confirmation document, Ole's place of birth is illegible; neither the farm nor the parish are legible.   At the time of the marriage, they were both residing at the Jordal farm.

Ole Larson - confirmation

My 2nd great grandfather, Ole Larson (#29 - seventh from the bottom, left page) was confirmed on November 18, 1838 in Ullensvang parish, Hordaland County, Norway


















According to this record, Ole received his vaccinations on January 12, 1824*.     His father (my 3rd great grandfather) was Lars Olson; his mother's name is not legible.   Ole Larson and family moved to the Jordal farm sometime after his birth (late summer/early fall of 1821) and prior to his confirmation.  

*I've not been able to locate the parish record for his birth or vaccinations as the farm name and parish listed are not legible on either his confirmation or marriage parish record.
