    Baptism record of Asle Kristoffersson
    Baptism record of Asle Kristoffersson
    The baptismal record of Asle Kristoffersson is displayed in the far left column (year 1779) under the Holmen church, (parish of Sigdal), the entry just above the year 1880. It states: "Eodem Die" (meaning the same day as the entry before it) baptized was Kristoffer Kjetilsson Bjørndalen`s male child "Asle". It then lists the names of his Godparents (sponsors), and at the end is mentioned, "introducerte" the 23 January 1780.

    Looking at the previous baptismal entry it states: " Festum 2 Nativitatis Xsti v. Die Stephani" - meaning "the 2nd day of Christmas or St. Stephen`s Day" = December 26 (which the Pastor has written December 26 here)

    Therefore Asle Kristoffersson was born on the Bjørndalen farm and was baptized on December 26, 1779 in the Holmen church, Sigdal parish. His mother (Kari Aslesdotter) was introduced back into the Holmen congregation on January 23, 1780.

    Reidar Kjetilsson is mentioned in the Sigdal bygdebok under the Haslebråtan(Bjørndalen) farm on page 100, states he was a mine worker.
    He is listed in the 1801 census, along with his brother Kristoffer and mother Ingebjørg, on the Bjørndalen farm in Sigdal parish). Reidar Kjetilsson is listed as entry #60 at the bottom, and his household position was a renter, lodger on a farm, age 44, a bachelor and a mine worker. Documentation recording Reidar after 1801 has not been located. It is not known if he married or moved out of the parish, etc.

    Ingebor Larsdotter is listed as entry #38. Her household position is listed as "innerst" which mean renter or lodger on a farm. Her marital status is widowed for the first time. Her occupation is listed as living off of charity or alms. Her age of 76 is consistent with her birth year of 1725.

    This record also lists the family of Kristoffer Kjetilsson living on the Bjørndalen farm in Sigdal parish of Buskerud County in 1801 as follows:

    -Kristoffer Kjetilsson "husband", age 53, married the 2nd time, his occupation was "tenant farmer/cotter, farming, and he was also a mine worker"
