[#81628] Bendiksens of Brynestad

[Gjest Dennis Hubbard]

I am looking for more info/pictures of Brynestad farm 1880s to 1900s. I have found many Bendiksens and wondering if anyone else is researching this family. Bendik Bendiksen b. 1831 innvik parish, auflem farm married to Sigrid Iversdatter. Was on Brynestad farm later. His children were born mostly on the Brynestad farm. Also looking for his Descendants in Norway. Or contacts.Thanks Dennis

Hi! There is some information in the 'bygdebok' by Jacob Aaland ('Nordfjord... Innvik-Stryn... bind 2... 1974') on p 51: Bendik Bendikson Auflem, born 1832 at farm no 2 at Auflem. He was a carpenter (Snekker) and lived at Brynestad at a little rented place (husmannsplass/bygsleplass)called Nesjane. Bendik was married to Sigrid Ivarsdaughter from the farm Yri. They had the children: Bendikt, Kristi, Eli, Sigrid, Brite, Johanne, Andreas, Ivar, Bertine. Bendikt, Andreas, Ivar and Bertine moved to US. The rented place were closed.

Hi Jarl, Thank you for the rsponse. Very good information! Would the book have an isbn number? Was the book printed in english? Would there be more info in the book or is that all?

[Gjest Jarl V. Erichsen]

No isbn and not in english. But I think there must be more from the farms Auflem and Yri. I will have a look later on.

Good, Tor. Then I just wait.
