Translation request on names of godparents/witnesses to baptism of Johannes Johnsen

Hi,

I would like some help/confirmation on

the names of the witnesses to Johannes Johnsen's baptism (line 77), son of John Johannesen and Oline Pedersdtr Strand, 2 August 1867.

Birth of Johannes Johnsen_line 77_1867 August 2.jpg Untitled Image

I think they are: Einar Tor[reson] Braskerud?, ?Anne Olsd[ater], Andreas H [ansen] Gjerdrum, Geoline Johns[dater] Haug

I did a search and came up with an Einar Torreson in the Norwegian 1865 Census located in: "Våler, Bradskerud, Nordenberg, Hedmark." That looks like the spelling in this record. There are other records with Einar Torreson and "Braskerud" with wife Anne Olsdatter. I found an Andreas H Gjerdrum in the 1891 Census in Våler i Sølør, Hedmark, Norway. Geoline Joh[anessen] Haug, who was the sister of John Johanessen Strand, and daughter of Johnannes Syversen Haug.

Thank you,

Sandy

    That's as close as I can get. Your research provided great clues.
