Some comments about the ancestors
Hilda`s father was “vognmand” (carriage and wagon foreman) in the city of Larvik. From the census
in 1865 they lived in Larvik or rather in the outskirts. I assume their home was in the end of the lake
Farris – the place called Farriseje or Farriseide. In 1865 Niels had 3 horses – and had probably other
people employed with the business.
From the church books it appears that Niels Hansen and his ancestors are from farms in Hedrum.
Names like Hagenes, Nauf and Stampe are mentioned. We find the information about Niels Hansen
in the church books for Hedrum. This church is from about year1100, and a picture is shown on next
page.
Hildas mother Anne Marie Nilsdatter is from Larvik – may be from the area just south of the lake
Farris (today Farriseide). In 1865 Anne Marie`s parents Niels and Nelia Gulliksen lived in the same
house. Most of the detailed information about this branch of the family tree (Larvik branch) is found
in the church books for Larvik.
