Other Events and Attributes:

• Baptism: 9 Oct 1791, Slidre Kirke, Øystre Slidre, Oppland Fylke, Norway

Notes:

In a transcribed list of baptisms from the Slidre church book records, Torger (christened 9 Oct 1791) was the illegitimate son of Torger Olson Windingstad and Barbro Knudsdotter. He was a soldier and she was a "pige".

His father had another illegitimate son name Torgeir in 1800.

In 1795, Barbro married Lars Gullikson Tüf and her son Torger Torgerson must have been raised on the Tüf farm. In the 1801 Census Torger was age 9, living with Lars Gullichsen and his wife Barbroe Knudsdatter in Røens Annex, Slidre, Christians Amt.

It is reasonable to assume that he became the crofter on the plot of land on the farm Tüf, in V. Slidre, that had a crofter's place that was once called Torgersplassen. It is now 84/2 Moen. Torger's son, Knut Torgersson, bought it in 1856 and sold it to Ole Knutsen Robøle (Raabøle) from Øystre Slidre in 1859.
