.. notes John was born 29 Aug 1840 at Lillebo, Tyrsil, ... his parents, Embret Jonsen Lillebo, 1 Jun 1819 at Lillebo, Trysil
.. the above FT records a note on John's baptism: baptism 8 May 1841 at Engerdal, Hedmark
based on "Baptism Date from "John Engebretsen, From Sømåhaugen to The Stillaguamish Valley", by LaVerne Engebretsen"
14 Apr 2025 ... I reviewed again Rendal, Tolga-Os, Trysil parish registers, but there is NO record of his baptism
.. the above "manuscript" ... must be unpublished ... not on line ... I would have to contact Ernie Fosse
... I have not verified dates etc ... 3 Apr 2025

Comments:
1. written on 1st left column, under the date of 24 Oct ... I can't make it out .... ? in Narvold ... ? Tolga
... it is not clear why the marriage record is recorded in the Narvold register - there is no record in the Tolga register of the Os register
2. His name: John Embretsen Øvøijosdet (eller=or Sømåhaugen)
3. Fødested [birthpalce] born at born Sømaahougen=Sømåhaugen and then ... ? but I think it is Ørvoijordet or Orvoiholshed
4. 24 yrs and 1/6 years
5. father .. father: Embret Johnsen Lillebo in Trysil
Comments: for Marit are straitforward
