Locating DEATH/BURIAL Dates & Sites-Records: In Norway & Sweden - ERROR Correction

afwife

1. Anna Marie Knudsen - born 25 Dec 1876, Bragernes, Drammen, Buskerud, Norway. I have birth, census records for my great-grandmother, but have yet to locate her death records despite many searches in the parish records. The date I heard from family for her death, is 20 Mar. 1921, but I have NOTHING to substantiate that. She lived most of her married life in Holmestrand, Norway, and by 1923 my great-grandfather came to the United States. It would really mean a lot to know where she is, when she died & perhaps her cause of death. I can't find an obit either even after searching old newspapers. Ideas?

🚩ERROR CORRECTION:

Thank you to a couple of people responding to my inquiries about my great-grandmother for catching a MAJOR error in my posting. I listed her (as seen above) with her maiden name (like in my family tree) but forgot her married name - Mathiesen. Her full name should read:

Anna Marie Mathiesen (born Knudsen). For additional help, her husband was, Ludvig Hagbart Mathiesen, born 11 Nov 1873, in Holmestrand, Norway.

My apologies for that oversight! I truly appreciate the ideas/information some individuals have sent to me. Several questions were answered concerning Gunnvor Saeter, and Friedrika Sara Lubinger.

Sincerely,

Leah H. Snider

The Churchbook for Holmestrand is apparently only scanned for burials until 1915....

Here is the link the church book (1901-1923): https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/5593/1

Hi Niels,

Thank you for your response to my inquiry about my great-grandmother. I appreciate it.

From the look of things I will have to try contacting the archives for information since the parish has never responded to my inquiries.

Sincerely,

Leah
