Norwegian Death Record Wanted for Health Reasons

Question

Hi, I am realizing I have a long line (at least 6 consecutive) of males dying early deaths in my tree, except there is one without a death record, which is Kristen Simonson from Lier, Buskerud, Norway. I suspect something genetic, and thus a death record could further confirm or deny the suspicion and possibly provide insight into some of the other young deaths, which include one missing body and one cause of death "deferred." Is anyone who is good with Norwegian records able to help me figure out when Kristen died (to determine age) and maybe the record has a cause of death, too, even? I would want to warn relatives if it turns out the records indicate something genetic could be going on, which could motivate them to see a genetic counselor and maybe even detect something in time.

Answer 1

Ignore the previous posts with death dates. The correct date of death is 18 Aug 1924.

And here is the burial protocol, entry 28: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/4842/70

The cause of death is given as "Aareforkalkning", i.e. Atherosclerosis.

Good find, Roy! Takk for det.

Answer 2

Hi Tiah,

I recommend you add the tags Norway and Nordic Project to attract more attention from people from those areas.

Answer 3

Kristen was still alive, living at Solbakken in 1920. I added the 1910 and 1920 Norway census records to his profile. 

This may be his entry in the death index, but the birth date is a little off. The image is restricted so I cannot verify the information provided in the index.

Answer 4

There are two notices in the newspaper, Hadeland, from 25 Apr 1933.

There is nothing specific about the cause of death.

Edit: This record is for another Kristen Solbakken. The location is different - Solbakken, Lier != Solbakken, Gran

Answer 5

Here is the sheriff's death record: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/66103/26
