Guldbrand Andersen

b. 1791 · Jonnaes (Gjonnes), Gran, Hadeland, Oppland, Norway
Born 1791, Jonnaes, Gran, baptised early in 1792
Children include Kjersti

Born at Jonnaes in Gran on 18 December 1791 and carried to the font early the next year, the son of Anders Gulbrandsen, who farmed Jonnaes before him, and Kiersti Fingalsdatter. The family was at Sorum by 1801, but he came back to Jonnaes to hold it. On 24 May 1814, the spring the Eidsvoll assembly gave Norway a constitution, he married as an ungkarl of Jonnaes, and by the time his second child was baptised in September 1816 the parish clerk was writing him gaardmand, a farmer holding his own land.

His wife was Anne Amundsdatter of Grimsrud, and the two farms stayed close: an Amund of Grimsrud stood godfather at more than one of their baptisms. Seven children of theirs appear in the Gran registers between 1815 and 1834, and the family kept to the old naming, an Anders first for his father, then an Amund for hers.

He appears among the taxpayers of Jonnaes in the silver tax of 1816, the levy raised across Norway to capitalise the new national bank, alongside a second Jonnaes man, Gulbrand Jacobsen. His death and burial are not known, and he is not in the 1875 census of the parish.

Children
