Dorthe Marie f. 1738 d. 1813, dtr. av Kristen Nilsen og Siri Olsdtr. Lavolden (Torget indre). Johannes Larsen vet vi ikke. 2 menn kom fra Sverige ca. 1754 til Brø. En var Nils Larsen. They worked on a large farm i Sweden og should take the girls there to a Christmas party. The men were ahead on horses, the girls in a sleigh. They rode over a lake and the sleigh went through the ice. The men were unable to save them and fled to Norway. There the amtmann liked them, and each got a farm. Nils got Udtorget. If the other was Johannes I don't know. The story was handed down to family. It is a big guess. Both Udtorget and Lavollen are a part of Torget, and both men are Larsen. Also we have a Johannes Larsen born 1736 uekte son of Lars Johansen og Berit Tostensdtr. Nordhus. That is also a very very big guess (he has no dtr. Berit). There is no proof of either. Nils Larsen and Johannes were not faddere for each others children. Johannes can be from another parish in Norway too.
