[#82398] Petrus kirke - Oslo, 1922

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

If someone was being buried from Petrus kirke in Oslo, 1922, what cemetery would have been used? I can't find that Petrus or Sofienberg kirke has a gravlund. Am I wrong?

[Gjest Tore Johansen]

Sofienberg was filled up in 1929 and shut down in 1931 http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/SofienbergparkenAfter that I think you may look too Nordre gravlundTore

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

So in 1922 the cemetery was still in use. If I understand the article correctly, there are no longer any graves there except the Jewish cemetery. It is now a park. Where were all the graves moved to? or did they just disappear?

[Gjest Tore Johansen]

Yes, that's right, Sofienberg was in use until 1921, and closed down in 1931. The graves are not mooved. The semetary are only closed down and the area are now used as a public park, without the gavestones. The Jewish area is still whith stones.

[Gjest Tore Johansen]

Sorry, Imeant it was in use until 1929

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

Tusen takk!

[Gjest Tore Johansen]

My pleasure

Robert: The link I gave you earlier to the death record, shows that Anders Evensen was buried at the cemetary Østre Gravlund at 2.30 PM.Regards Else B.

[Gjest Tore Johansen]

If you search for 'Sofienbergparken' here, you can see the cityarea today. And up Northwest you find 'Nordre gravlund' http://kart.finn.no/

Tore: I kirkeboka står det tydelig at han ble begravet ved Østre (gravlund)...

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

Thank you Tore for the interesting information. And thank you Else for correcting me. Yes, I now see he was buried in Østre gravlund! I wonder if his wife Maren was also buried there? Tusen takk! Hilsen, Robert

Jeg har ikke sjekket kirkeboka for begravelsen Else, jeg svarte bare ut ifra spørsmålet om hviken kirkegård som kunne vært brukt. Jeg har selv funnet egne gravlagt på Sofienberg, mens ellers i området har de sortert til Nordre gravlund. Men nå ble jo dette en (synes jeg) en fin liten geografisk orientering i området. Det er også tvingende nødvendig for å finne frem synes jeg. :-)

The grave of Anders Evensen Lenke Maybe you need to dobbel click.When was Maren born?

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

She was born in Eidsvold, 7 Jan 1846. Her name was Maren Paulsen.

[Gjest Else B. Rustad]

Til (12): Det skader ikke med litt geografiundervisning, nei - du har rett i det :-)Til (13): This must be the grave of another Anders Evensen?? The one we found, died February 13, 1922.

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

Can´t find Anders and Maren in DIS gravminner.1885 Oslo Lenke

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

I have found that both my great-grandparents, Anders and Maren Evensen were buried in Østre gravlund. Anders was buried from Petrus kirke, but I am still unable to find the church which buried Maren Evensen. Østre gravlund says that the graves are no longer there. Thanks to all who tried to help me.Robert
