Is there a Hernesbo Norway

I have some notes about Tollof J Larson born 1828 in Hernesbo Norway

Shari Duce

There are many small farms in Norway. Is this the person you are asking about? I think it probably is.

c.white.551.565133939843166E12

Yes it is, I am looking for his parents

Shari Duce

The marriage record for Tollef Edward Larsen and Anne Birgithe Henriksdatter mentions the farm you are asking about. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8457/197 The father of the groom is Lars Tollefsen and the father of the bride is Henrik Williamsen.

There is probable duplicate for Anne in FamilySearch. She is christened in Hurum parish which has a farm called Holmsbu. So I believe this is her family. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/M8CT-KSV

The christening record of Tolli Hedevart helps identify the same father(and occupation) as seen on the marrige record so I believe it is the correct individual. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8150/66 This individual is also in FS tree, 9Q55-7PW

Christening record for their first child (Henry) Henrik Næs. Entry #83. Born 14 September and christening 24 October. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/1065/52

Thank you so much for your help

Shari Duce

Let me know if you need help merging the duplicates for both Tolli and his wife. Are you feeling comfortable about this information being accurate? I feel it is solid.

c.white.551.565133939843166E12

I agree with you

Now how to merge

If you like maps, this will show you where Holmsbu is located. https://www.norgeskart.no/#!/?zoom=14&lon=241937.73&lat=6611208.55&project=seeiendom&layers=1002,1014&markerLat=6610918.954050099&markerLon=242205.2924957162&panel=searchOptionsPanel&sok=holmsbu

And here is Bragnernes which is north of Holmsbu. https://www.norgeskart.no/#!/?zoom=8&lon=249686.92&lat=6615470.01&project=seeiendom&layers=1002,1014&markerLat=6632940.851113371&markerLon=230747.29622261575&panel=searchOptionsPanel&sok=bragernes Zoom out to get a better perspective of where this is in Norway.

Lars occupation was "tollbetjent", a customs officer which fits well with his location near the water. Can you see that word preceding his name? (spelled with only one "l").
