Buena Vista County Births and Christenings
Fenstad Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church, Alta
Christenings, 1875-1889
This church existed from 1872 until it disbanded in 1901; however, these records go from 1875 only to 1889. I am not sure exactly where it was located--the records only say "Alta." However, most of the congregants appeared to live a couple of miles WSW of Alta, so it may have been somewhere in that area of Nokomis Twp.
Also, a couple of notes about spelling. The name Gulbransen/Gulbranson/Gulbrandsen was consistently spelled "Guldbrandsen" throughout the record. That was the pastor's surname, who usually filled out these ledgers. Perhaps that was a older spelling and was modernized/simplified as the years went by. I did drop one of the "d's" in the spelling below. Another name, usually spelled Wegerslev in modern records, was spelled in various ways--Wigerslov, Vigerslov, Vikerslov. I used "Wegerslev" in this transcription. Another name that I took the liberty of using the more modern spelling was "Rokkan." In some of the earlier entries it was spelled "Raaken."
