The Grandchildren of Kristoffer Kristenson and Ase Amundsdotter

As far as I have records for, the other children of Kristoffer and Ase, that is to say: Styrk , Gunnar, Kari, Eirik, Sjur and Ola did not have children, or more likely, I just don't have those records,.... 

But I do have records for Kristen and Hans, and I present their children here.

Kristoffer Kristofferson & Ase Amundsdotter

Kristoffer and Ase are our Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather (GGGGGGG Grandfather) and Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandmother (GGGGGGG Grandmother)!

Kristoffer Kristenson was born in 1610 and died in 1710. He lived to be 100 years old!! We do not know Ase Amundsdotter's birth and death dates right now.

I am also not sure where Kristoffer Kristenson was born, but he lived and worked on the Lee Farm and all of his children were born there. It is a good chance that he was born on the Lee Farm or near by.

They had 8 children that we know about:
Styrk, Kristen, Gunnar, Kari, Eirik, Sjur, Hans and Ola. All boys except for Kari.

Hans Kristoffersson, Lee and Ingebjorg Larsdotter are our line.


Little is known about Styrk, his birth or death dates. He may have died as a baby, but I do not know.
Kristen was born 1631 and died in 1733. He was 102!
Gunnar was born 1645 and died in 1719. He was 74.
Kari was born 1652 and died in 1745. She was 93.
Eirik was born 1656, but we do not know his date of death. Or his age.
Sjur was born 1657 and died in 1726 or 27. He was 69.
Hans was born 1665 and died in 1751. He was 86.
Ola was born 1667 and died in 1732. He was 65.

I will start to introduce the children of these early ancestors in blogs that follow.
