Gjartrud Vilhjølmsdatter BAGGETHUN

Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 1 Oct 1843, Vang i Valdres, Oppland, Norway

Notes:

According to Jeff: Gertrude Williamsdatter Lykken, 1843-1926, was born at Baggethun. Her husband was Torger Christopherson Lykken, 1833-1918. Gertrude’s parents were William Williamson and Anna Knutson (d. 1880?). Gertrude’s father also went by Vilhelm Vilhelmsen Baggethun. Gertrude came to the U.S. with her mother Anna in 1864. Anna lived with Gertrude and Torger until her death in 1880. The church record of Anna’s death has her last name as Lykken. It looks like William Williamson emigrated on his own to Wisconsin and later married and established a second family.

Her baptismal sponsors were: Ole Tollefsen Ellingbøe, Endre Bergeseiet, Knud Thuneeiet, Sigrid Skjelhaugen, and Ambjør Olsdatter Mÿhre. Ole Tollefsen was the man who stood for the child of unmarried parents.

Notably perhaps, none of her children were named after her father (e.g., William).
