Kirsti Nielsdatter Rom Søndre ²

  General Notes:

In 1801 Kirsti was 23 years old, unmarried, and a servant for Halvor Christensen on the Rom Søndre farm in Askim. ³

Kirsti married Thorer Syversen, son of Syver Erichsen Qvachestad and Gunhild Thorersdatter, on 11 Feb 1802 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.¹ (Thorer Syversen was born in 1780, died on 15 Jan 1834 in Gudim, Askim, Østfold, Norway and was buried on 25 Jan 1834 in Askim, Østfold, Norway.)

  Marriage Notes:

Thorer and Kirsti had 11 children. [De fikk 11 barn, og de fleste vokste opp, noe av en sjeldenhet dengang, med den høye dødelighetsprosent for barn.]

When Thorer died in 1834 at 53 years of age, his eldest son Niels, who was then 30, took over half of the Gudim Nedre, bnr. 4, farm in Askim. On the other half sat Thorer's widow, Kirsti Nielsdatter, with her other children.
