[#76352] Valestrand/Sveio/Stord

[Gjest Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

I am having some trouble figuring out how to display correctly the locations of certain farms.Here is an example. I have several who lived on the farm Tveite in Hordaland. I see that there is a farm by this name in Valestrand (11), Sveio (95), and Stord (16,42) and also in other areas.Anne Aadnesdtr (b. Lier nordre) was married to Torbiørn Tollefsen (b at Haugland). Torbiørn died 1816 at Enstavold. Anne died 1825 at Tveite. I believe Lier nordre, Haugland and Enstavold are all in Valestrand. But the death records for Torbiørn & Anne are in the files for Stord. Although there is a Tveite nordre and Tveite søndre in Stord, I am inclined to believe the farm where Anne died was in Valestrand.How can I possibly make sense of this? I am so confused!Hilsen Patti Mikkelsen

Thank you Johan Arthur!So, can I assume if early records are in the Stord files, they became Valestrand later?What about Sveio? There is a farm named Tveite in Sveio. Isn't there some overlap between Sveio and Valestrand?mvh Patti

Again, thank you, Johan Arthur!You posted the extra information while I was composing my last message!

Before 1851 Sveio belongs to Finnås parish. In Sveio you will find Tveita søre (south) and Tveitali. Johan Arthur Hansen
