Inger Mikkelsen

  Research Notes:

Summary:

Inger Mikkelsen [Mikkelsdatter] was a sister to my 2nd great grandfather, Lars Mikkelson [1830-1922] - she was sometimes called Ingri.
Inger's birth/baptism record does not specifically record where she was born, but she most likely was born at Sylen farm, east of lake Femund and near the Swedish border.

In 1851 she was married to Ole Eriksen Langen [b 1814] from the farm Svukkuriset søndre - at this time, this area belonged to Røros parish in Sør Trondelag county but later the area was transfered Engerdal parish, a part of Hedmark County.

Inger and Ole had 3 children, but the youngest died at 2 days old. Inger's two daughters married:

Inger's daughter, Berit [1853-1914] was married in 1876 to Jørgen Jakobsen [1848-1936], although he was also known as Jorgen Elgaaen. Jørgen Jakobsen Elgaaen and Berit Olsdatter took over the farm søndre Svukuriset around 1870 - this is when Inger Mikkelsdatter and Ole Eriksen Langen [b 1814] took over the farm Sylen and when Inger's brother Lars Mikkelsen b 1830 and family left for North America. But Jørgen Jakobsen Elgaaen and Berit Olsdatter sold søndre Svukuriset to Torber Jonsen who was the son of Jon Olsen Langen from Torber Jonsen nordre Svukuriset. Jorgen Elgaaen and Berit left Norway in 1885, first to South Dakota and in 1903 to the Killiam, Alberta area in Canada [see Berit's research page for details].

Inger's daughter Ingeborg [1856-1883] married Ole Jonasen [I have not research this family ... 16 Mar 2025]
