Parents of Rønnaug Eriksdatter, wife of Mikjel Torgrimsen Vesle-Braka (Sør-Aurdal, Oppland)

[Kevin Casey]

Many online sources have Mikjel Torgrimsen Vesle-Braka (from Sør-Aurdal, Oppland, d. 1742) married to Rønnaug Mikkelsdatter Braka (daughter of Mikjel Bjørnsen Stugarden).

However, in the probate records below, Mikjel Torgrimsen is said to be married to Rønnaug Eriksdatter (with no additional marriage). I can find no parents for this Rønnaug. Is there an obvious set of parents for Rønnaug Eriksdatter, wife of Mikjel Torgrimsen, that I'm missing?

The local history book also has concluded that Michel Torgrimsen married Rønnaug Michelsdatter, who had inherited Vesle-Braka from her father Michel Bjørnsen in 1705
