TORRESEN (Norway)

Meaning/Pronunciation: Pronunciation: Tor-res-sen Meaning: Child of Torre (A form of Thor, I believe)

Origin: Norwegian

Variations: In this case, Torresdatter, but as the name is a form of Thor, there are many many variations of the surname as well, from slight to major. Thorsen, Thorirsen, etc.

Relation to me: This is my mother's father's father's mother's father's mother's mother's maiden name.

Ancestors:
i: Torresdatter, Marit, abt 1739 – 1801, Trondheim, Norway; Jon Olsen Tiller, 4 daughters, 2 sons

Looking for:
I'd love to know Marit's parents, but along with the others at this level, I'm okay with putting this branch of the family a little longer.
