    Baptism record of Kjetil Kristoffersson
    Baptism record of Kjetil Kristoffersson
    The record is listed in the far left column of the page, the 11th entry down from the year 1777. It states that the baptism occurred on the same day (previous record above it reads March 31) Xstoffer Kjetilsson Kvisle eie`s child H.D.(likely meaning `heimdåp` or home baptismal), Kjetil. Next the Godparents (sponsors) are listed.

    Kjetil Kristoffersson was born on the Kvisle farm, Sigdal parish, and was baptised on March 31, 1777, recorded in the Holmen church book, Sigdal parish. It does not list an illegitimate birth for him in this record, so he was most probably born between the dates of March 9, 1777 (when his parents got married) and the day he was baptized on March 31, 1777.

    Also the next column to the right of Kjetil`s record and about 4 lines down it states: "The 20 April, Xstoffer Kjetilsson Kvile eie`s wife. (This record meaning that Kari Aslesdotter was "introduced" back into the Holmen congregation on April 20, 1777.
    Marriage record of Kjetil Kristoffersson and Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter
    Marriage record of Kjetil Kristoffersson and Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter
    At the top of the right page (page 805), under the heading of Year 1805, the engagement of first time bachelor Kjetil Kristoffersson and maiden Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter was announced. They shall go live on Åsterudeie? farm (in Modum parish). The announcement was made on "Mariæ bebudelses dag" or Lady Day, which in 1805 was on March 25.

    The record is hard to read and it is not clear if Åsterudeie (in Modum parish) is the right farm mentioned here. I couldn`t make out the farm name for Jakob Kjetilsson. The marriage took place "lang fredag" (Good Friday), which was April 12, 1805, in Nykirke (church) in Modum parish. Bestmen were: Jakob Kjetilsson and Kristian Kristiansson Sterkeby.
    Record of Kjetil Kristoffersson and Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter moving to Eiker Parish, Buskerud County, Norway
    Record of Kjetil Kristoffersson and Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter moving to Eiker Parish, Buskerud County, Norway
    On page 603, entries 10 & 11 state that "Ektefolk" (married couple) Kjetil Xstoffersson Bjørndalen and "hustru" (wife) arrived in Eiker parish with written permission (certificate) on April 12, 1815. Their occupation was "husfolk" (cotter who worked for the owner of the farm in return for (small) pay and a house and generally a small piece of land for their own use) on the farm Daler, in Eiker parish. Their former residence was in Sigdal parish.

    Unfortunately the record does not list their children. Also there was no record of them leaving Sigdal parish.
    Death record of Kjetil Kristoffersson
    Death record of Kjetil Kristoffersson
    The death record for Kjetil Kristoffersson indicates that he died while living on the Daler farm. On the left page entry #138 states that Kjetil Kristoffersson "fattiglem" (pauper) died November 1, 1854 and was buried November 12, 1854 in the Bakke church graveyard, in Eiker parish, Buskerud County, Norway. His age at the time of death was 78 years and his residence was on the Daler farm, in Eiker parish.
