Velfjord Parish Records. !RESEARCH NOTES ON JORGEN RASMUSSEN FAMILY: Having established the family of Fredrik Jorgensen, the next step was to identify and document his parents and siblings in the Norwegian records. The Somna bygdebok already identified that he was born in 1803 to Jorgen Rasmussen and Maren Johannesdatter of Neras and later of Tomaslia in Velfjord Parish. This book also identified that he had a brother Rafael Johan Jorgensen.
  The 1801 census of Norway has been transcribed, typed, and indexed. Using this source, the following family was found (FHL Fiche 6200981, p. E6):
  1801 Census - Nedreaas (Neras), Velfjord Parish Name Age Occupation Marital Status Jorgen Rasmussen 22 farmer 1st marriage Maren Johannesdatter 27 his wife 2nd marriage Karen Rasmusdatter 38 servant unmarried Lorentse Hansdatter 9 foster child unmarried From this census it appears that Jorgen Rasmussen and Maren Johannesdatter were newlyweds in 1801 and that Maren Johannesdattter must have had a previous marriage. Both of the marriage records for Maren Johannesdatter were found in Velfjord Parish:
  1 Jan 1795, the widower Friderich Christophersen married Miss Maren Johansdatter of Neras (FHL #0125062; Vol. 10; 1752-1819; p. 129) 1 Jan 1801, the bachelor Jorgen Rasmussen of Neras married the widow Maren Johansdatter of Neras (FHL #0125062; Vol. 10; 1752-1819, p. 149)
  Her first husband Friderich Christophersen, was buried in Velfjord Parish on Fe 9, 1800, age 34 (FHL #0125062; Vol. 10; 1752-1819; p. 146). He was found dead in the lake on January 30th. The birth and christening records of Belfjord Parish were searched from 1795 -1801, but no children were found born to Friderich Christophersen and Maren Johansdatter.
  The birth and christening records for Belfjord were then searched from 1801-182 and the following children of Jorgen Rasmussen and Maren Johansdatter were all born at Neras farm and christened in Velfjord Parish:
  1. Fredrik Jorgensen chr 7 Aug 1803 2. Raphael Johan Jorgensen chr 10 Aug 1806 3. Iver Jorgensen chr 23 Apr 1810 4. Morten Jorgensen chr 23 Jan 1814 No other children were listed in the Velfjord Parish records for this couple. The family apparently moved from Neras farm to Tomaslia farm. The death record of Maren Johannesdatter was locatred in the Velfjord records. She was living a the Tomaslia farm at the time and was 61 years old, wife of the farmer Jorgen Rasmussen. She died 1 Jul 1834 and was buried 9 Jul 1834 (FHL #1282927, I.2; Vol. 11; 1834-1874; p. 474, No. 24)
  Nine years after the death of his wife, Jorgen Rasmussen married a second time on July 16, 1843 to Oline Danielsdatter (FHL #1282927, I.2; Vol 11; 1834-1874; p. 400, No.5). She was 43 years old and he was 62 years old and retired at tha time. This marriage record also listed that Jorgen Rasmussen was born on the Dammen farm and was the son of Rasmus Fredriksen.
  The death of Jorgen Rasmussen took place 15 years later. He died November 21, 1858 at Tomaslia and was buried November 29, 1858, age 79 years old. Cauase of death was old age. (FHL #1282927l, i.2; Vol. 11; 1834-1874, p. 413, No. 17).
  A little additional information, giving the dates when this family was located on each farm, was found in the book, Velfjord Bygdebok by Harald Strom (1971) (FHL 948.451/V4H2s), pp. 149,167:
  Neras Farm No. 44: 1801-1816 Jorgen Rasmussen born 1779, wife Maren Johannesdatter born 1774. Jorgen Rasmussen paid a silver-tax in 1816.
  Tomasli Farm No. 34: 1816-1838 Jorn (Jorgen) Rasmussen. Unfortunately, this book does not give nearly the quantity of family informatio as the Somna bygdebok. No efforts were made at this time to locate the marriag and death records of the siblings of Fredrik Jorgensen.
