Ekeberg Farm Hedmark Norway

"Oliana Mariane Knudsen"or Marianne Oleane Egeberg is supposed to have been born on the Ekeberg farm in 1858 although no mention is made in this record. These records come from the Stange Bygdebok and I include here the Norwegian as well as the English translation according to Google. The bygdeboks (farm books) cover the history of the various farms from all kinds of legal and tax records. The spelling of the farm names was not standardized until recent times and farms also changed their names over time. The records on this particular farm name goes back to about 1397 with artifacts dating to the Stone Age. So far as my research Bernt or his mother are not mentioned in the records. It seems that some of the early taxes were paid in "hud" = "skin" or cow hides which could then be sold in other parts of Europe. Ownership of the land is being transferred in these records. Sometimes the owner would have to sell the farm for debts and later it could be reclaimed, sometimes generations later. Old currency of "dalar" or "dl." and another abbreviation that applies to the old form of money is "spd." meaning 'speciedalar" , "skill." = "skilling" old currency, "skmk." = "skyldmark" taxes owed.

The Ekeberg Farm is in Stange parish and listed in the Stange Bygdebok of Hedmark is translated here by Google translator. It does have some difficulty with some abbreviations and words. The history is of the farm and lists owners from the earliest record back to 1370. Our relatives seemed to have moved around to several farms as workers and are not directly recorded here but it does give some indication of why the name was adopted as a last name and means "an oak tree". The translated English language is a little awkward and some of the words and abbreviations are unknown.

Perhaps because the farm mostly consists of forest with little tillable land it changes hands many times. In the records below we find that the farm seems to have had a troubled history of ownership with various judgments against it and even being abandoned about 1818, with Plassen Dromsrud being evicted in 1825. It was sold at auction in 1836.

Knud Olssen Egeberg and Olea Olsdatter were living in or near Loiten in 1856 when they marry but obviously Knud had. history with the Egeberg farm and moves to the farm by May 24, 1858 when Oliana Marianne is born. Knud, who was a Gaardb og Selveier (farmer/ land owner and tailor) while Olea may have been working at one of the looms that were at work here under Jens Kristian Evensen's ownership from 1850. In the 1865 census he is a farmer and freeholder in Ilseng farm, Loiten Parish.

The Ekeberg Farm is located in the hills above Lake Mjøsa. This region apparently is one of the few places in this part of Norway where Oak trees can be gown, thus the name Egeberg (Danish) or Ekeberg (Norwegian) which is the name for "oak". This type of tree was particularly important to the fabrication of Viking ships. It is probably pretty isolated in the winter due to the elevation and off the main roads. The present owners are in the process of remodeling the building while preserving the basic building. They are still heating with wood even though in the process of remodeling. They have a water system from the wood stove to heat the floor. There were as many as five families living here to do the work in the 1800's. At one time it seems that several looms were set up to weave, probably wool clothing.

This farm is on St. Olaf's Way and Inga's father, who was the previous owner, built a shelter that can be rented by pilgrims.

This remote kind of life style would have been very different for Olea Olsdatter who had lived for years at the industrial complex of the lost farm of Aadalen and Adalsbrug. Knud Olsen Egeberg of 1857 would have understood its location and beauty.

Ekeberg
Gnr. 143, bnr. 1

Navnet opprinnelig Eikaberg - av trenavnet eik. Gården er nevnt i 1370 og 1452. 10/11 1370 kjøpte Thorleivr Thorgeirson av Alv Thorderson, Ivar, hans bror og Rønnaug, hans søster ½ markabol i Eikeberg i Skogbygden. Skjøtet ble skrevet av presten på Stange, Bergsvein Haraldson i nærvær av Mathias på Huseby og 2 andre menn. I 1452 eides Ekeberg av 2 søsken, Ragnhild Amundsdtr. og hennes bror Redar. 30/4 1452 gikk de til Stange kirke, og etter messen fikk de to lagrettemenn, Sigurder Alvson og Ivar Tjøstolvson til å sette opp brev om at Ragnhild solgte til Redar sin del i gården. Våren etter var Redar gift. Med sin kone, Sigrid Thordsdtr., gikk han til kirke søndag 22/4 1453 og fikk de samme lagrettemenn til å sette opp brev om at de delte likt både løst og fast av eiendommen. Den som levde lengst skulle ha Ekeberg til åsæte så lenge han (hun) levde, fordi de jordeparter som Sigrid eide, kom derudi - hun har vel også vært fra Ekeberg.
