    Confirmation record of Bertil Olson Tingelstad
    Bertil was confirmed Oct. 21, 1838 in Nykyrkje church, parish of Modum by Pastor Bekk.

    The confirmation record states Bertil Olson Tingelstad, son of Ola Toreson and "wife" Kari Kristoffersdotter of Hallerdalen "under" Korsbøen (this meaning that Ola & Kari were living on Hallerdalen, which at that time, was part of the larger farm, Korsbøen).

    The record states Bertil was born November 13, 1823 and vaccinated on April 23, 1836.

    For his religious knowledge, diligence, etc. it states "likså" which means "the same". This appears to be referring to person # 22 where the priest enters "g" for his religious knowledge (believed is short for "god" which means "good").

    This is the second document that has Bertil being referred to the farm Tingelstad. The other document was his marriage record in 1852. In the marriage record it asks for the Name and position of Groom, which was written "bachelor Bertil Olson Tingelstad" and in the next column it asks for the birthplace and place of residence of groom, which was written his birth place was Korsbøen (as Hallerdalen falls under this farm) and his residence as being Skrettebergeie.
