The following email was received by the NSF office today:
Rune Nedrud told us that you possibly could help us find information on
our Norwegian ancestors, so I am asking for your help.
The “brick wall” I have encountered is the following:
Hans Atke Lund (b. ca. 1733- died before 18 Dec. 1798) Hans Lund was klokker at
Alstahaug parish in Nordland.
married 3 August 1762 in Domkirken in Trondheim
Berithe Henningsdatter Smideknegt (b. ca. 1741 – d. ? )
The following children of Hans and Berithe were baptized in Domkirken in Trondheim:
Peter Frederick Lund – (b. 24 July 1764)
Johan Markus Lund – (b. 28 April 1766)
Martinus Johannes Lund – (b. 6 September 1769)
Johannes Bernt Lund – (b. 16 July 1772 - d. ? )- My ancestor
My question: Is it possible to find the lineage and family information concerning
Hans Atke Lund and his wife, Berithe Henningsdatter Smideknegt?
I tried to find probate records for Hans Atke Lund and Johannes Bernt Lund, but
couldn’t navigate the arkivet.
