Knut Andersen Gaard and Anna Svensdotter

I am looking for any info on Knut Andersen Gaard. I think he lived in or around Talgje island on a farm called Gaard. Born on 25 May 1837 to Anders Knutson and Bertha K Hovde. He was their only child because Anders died in 1837. I'm pretty sure Bertha remarried.

Thanks

Hello, I am new to ancestry and you are my first inquiry. Knut Andersen Gaard was my great grandfather on my mom's side. Her name was Helen Gaard, Andrew K Gaard was her father. She did a family history way back in college, before the internet and I am a little confused about Knut's father, Anders Knutson. On my mom's hand written family tree, she has Anders Gaard as being Knut's father married to Bertha. Not only that, but she has all the other children listed, but no mention of them having a different father. We just came back from Norway, including a visit to the church at Talgje where Bertha is buried. Seeing Christopher on the grave marker created some confusion. Any idea where/how I can resolve the discrepancy?

Hello,

Bertha Hovde remarried after Anders Knudsen Gaard died in 1837. She married Knut Andersen Gaard on 25 May 1837. You can find the marriage record on the Norwegian Digital Archives site. The record is #8 on this page:

Using the Digital Archive site you should be able to find other information for the family including birth, confirmation, marriage, and death records.

Good luck,
Bill
