Kristoffer Hansson Lee and Turid Ellensdotter's Children

Kristoffer Hansson Lee, 1711-1762 and Turid Ellensdotter, 1708-1782 had 6 children:
Ingrid, Hans, Ellend, another Hans, Ingebjorg, and Jon


A note about the spelling of names: 
You may have noticed that the Kristoffersdotter or Christoffersdotter are both used in this family. I believe the reason for this is coming from the spelling used in the Bygdabok. Parish churches wrote down everyone's name in the Bygdabok and I think spelling in those days was not uniform. Thus, we later researchers often have to copy those various different spellings.

---------------------
I have information for some of the other children, but I am not going to make charts for them as it gets too complicated for everyone to weed through. You can see their information at the Vangsness Family Tree Database. You can also click on this to see the about line directly: The Kristoffer Hansson Lee line.

In the next installment, I will outline the second Hans Kristoffersson Lee who married Synneve Endresdotter Lee. If you click on the chart, it will enlarge in a new window.
