    Baptismal record of Kristoffer Kjetilsson
    Baptismal record of Kristoffer Kjetilsson
    Kristoffer Kjetilsson was born on March. 16, 1807 on the Bendiksby farm, of Modum parish. His baptismal date is the same day as the previous entry which looks like "skjærtorsdag" (Maundy Thursday) which is March 26, 1807, in Nykirke (church), in Modum parish. His parents were Kjetil Kristoffersson Bendiksby and (wife) Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter.

    This is the second child that this couple named Kristoffer. A death record for the first Kristoffer (born in 1806) has not been located. It`s possible he survived but his parents Kjetil Kristoffersson and Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter wanted to make certain the name Kristoffer would keep on going in the next generation.

    Death record of Kristoffer Kjetilsson
    Entry #35 at top of left hand page states that Kristoffer Kjetilsson Solum aged 6 years died of "blodgang" (dysentery) and was buried on the 22nd of August (in Sigdal parish). From this information we can assume that the death likely occurred in August of 1813 on the Solum farm, Sigdal parish.

    By looking at the age of at the time of death, it appears that this Kristoffer is the second Kristoffer (born in March 1807). Information regarding the first Kristoffer born in 1806 is yet to be located. If the first Kristoffer died before the second Kristoffer was born, it may be possible that his death was not recorded, as this can happen, although rare.

    The couple had another son in 1819, and named him also Kristoffer.
