Hartvig Andreas Munthe

Hartvig Andreas Munthe (9 December 1845 – 17 June 1905) was a Norwegian military officer, engineer and genealogist.

Personal life He was born in Elverum as the son of physician Christopher Pavels Munthe (1816–1884). He was an older brother of painter Gerhard Munthe, writer Margrethe Munthe and historian and military officer Carl Oscar Munthe. He was also a nephew of historian and cartographer Gerhard Munthe and an uncle of librarian Wilhelm Munthe and painter Lagertha Munthe. Through his mother he was a nephew of Andreas Leigh Aabel and Oluf Andreas Aabel, and a first cousin of Hauk Aabel.

In May 1874 he married Jeanette Camilla Kristoffersen (1848–1923). He was the father of genealogist Christopher Morgenstierne Munthe. This was confirmed by the Negotiations in Karlstad and the overwhelming Norwegian union dissolution referendum of 1905, but Hartvig Andreas Munthe lived to see neither of these as he died already on 17 June 1905 in Kristiania. Munthe also took the initiative to a description of his native Elverum. The work was published posthumously, completed by Stian Herlofsen Finne-Grønn.
