[Gjest Susan Vera]

Thank you Ole.Would there be any way to confirm which family he is from. Maybe an entry somewhere of marriage that would tell his father and mothers names?He was from the Sauland, Hjartdal, Telemark area. I may have not added that before. Sorry Hilsen Susan

[Gjest Laila Kornstad]

I think this can be the right Leif Leifson, but his name is written Lev.LenkeLaila Kornstad.

[Gjest Susan Vera]

Thank you Laila, This is could be him. It looks like he is not living with his parents.What do these words mean? hendes Søn and Logerende

[Gjest Astrid Ryen]

'Hendes Søn' means her son, which probably means he is the son of Anne Thorsd. who is 'logerende' meaning she is a lodger at the farm.

[Gjest Astrid Ryen]

Anne is said to be ug(ift) - not married.

[Gjest Susan Vera]

That is interesting. I wonder, judging from the age of Thor, if he is her father and Lev and his mother are lodging with her father and his second wife and children or something.Or is it a coinsidence that the head of household is Thor? (thinking out loud)Thank you for your help! Med hilsen Susan
