1. He was born on 1849 or 1850. I also
have 1850. It is 1850 on the TO
Skjeldal chart that I have from GT Schjeldahl.
It says 1849 in TWO
places; on the 1900 US Census; and in
Historie om udvandringen fra
Voss.
1849 is correct!
2. He was confirmed on 9 Oct 1864. I
finally have got the answers to the
outstanding questions regarding:
· Ragnhild Halldorsdotter (Glymme,
Skjeldal) born 1787 or 1788
· Torstein Olavsson (Skjeldal)
born 1849 or 1850
Ragnhild was according to the church
register born in 1787.
Torstein Olavsson was according to church
registers born Nov 3, 1849
and
baptized Nov 11, 1849. He was confirmed
Oct 9, 1864 together with his
brother Knut who was born two years
earlier. Probably Knut had to go
for
a longer preparation for confirmation
due to lack of knowledge.
All the information above will be added
to the WebPages in the next
update which hopefully will be during
June.
Best regards, Stefan
