Lars Gjermundsen

  Research Notes:

Lars Gjermundsen, 1817 - 1865, was my 5th cousin. My relationship to him is on my Skaret side of the family going back a few generations to Gjermund Gjermundsen Hammersgaard [1682-1752], who was a brother to my 7th great-grandfather Ole Gjermunsdsen Hammersgaard [1679-1752].

Lars Gjermundsen, b in 1817, most likely was born on his parent's father at Nørdre Lillebo, Tyrsil parish, Hedmark Norway. Lars was the youngest child of the family. Lars Gjermundsen had 2 children outside of marriage: Gjermund Larsen, born 1836 [see his page for some detail] and Thore Larsen who lived for about a month - he was born in Aug 1842 and died in Sept 1842.

Lars Gjermundsen [b 1817] married on 13 Oct 1844 to Ingeborg Persdatter 1810-1886. Lars and Ingeborg had one daughter, Kari Larsdatter, born on 17 Jul 1844 [see her page for more information].

As far as I can tell, Lars Gjermundsen continued to live at the farm Lia, which is where he died. Sometime after his death, his wife Ingerborg Persdatter/Pedersdatter moved back to Lomnesberget until she died in 1886.
