Jens HAAGENSEN Berkset (b. 1798)

Jens HAAGENSEN Berkset was born on the Ustu Berkset farm in Rendal, Hedmark in 1798 (Bull, 89). The Rendal parish Ministerialbok contains the baptism record, but the exact date is difficult to tell.

According to Bull (1940: 192), Jens had an illegitimate daughter, Maren (b. 1825), with Aase Thoresdtr Hornset. This Maren would eventually become Mina HOGANSON's maternal grandmother.

In 1835 Jens married his second cousin once removed, Maren Semingsdtr Rugsveen Haarset. Maren was baptized 18 Jan 1807.

The Rendal parish records confirm the date of his marriage to Maren as 27 April 1835. A few years later Jens became owner of the Rugsveen farm.

They had the following children: Brynhild (1830-1831), Haagen (1832-1890), Seming (b. 1833), Maren (1843-1935), Jens (1846-1847), and Brynhild (1850-1909) (Bull 1940: 89).

Jens, Maren, and their family are recorded in the 1865 Norway Census on Hårsetstuen with their son, Haagen (33), daughter Bryhild (16), and Haagen's son Seming (9), my 2x great grandfather.

Ancestry.com records Maren's death and burial as 3 Jan and 14 Jan 1884 respectively. Currently we have no record of Jens' death.
