Notes:

Birth:
I can't determine the exact date of Torger's birth except that he was the 18th birth that year and it or his baptism occurred on the 23rd of the month. Number 19 on a following page is clearly October 30. There is something that occurs earlier on the page listed in October, so I am reasonably certain Torger was born October 23, 1791.
His father is listed as Aadne Kraagedals which would be his "farm" name; Aadne from Kraagedal. His mother is not listed, the other names are sponsors.

Torger married Marthe OLSDATTER. Marthe (daughter of Ola JESPERSEN and Berta TORESDATTER) was born in 1798 in Vølstad, Gjestal, Rogaland, NORWAY; died on 1 Jun 1885 in Vølstad, Gjestal, Rogaland, NORWAY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
