Olav Knutsson Rysstad 1877 -1924

[Murray Rystead]

Hello,

Would anybody have more information on Olav Knutsson Rysstad and his wife Jorunn Rysstad.
Thanks to the Valle Kommune bygdeboker books Vol 1 & 2 there is some information on him and his forefathers going back to Nils Mikkelsson Nomeland (1570-1605)
A few people on here have provided me with some census records which have been helpful. And even screenshotted pages from Valle Kommune of Olav's great grandfathers like Tarjei Knutsson Uppstad and Knut Tarjeisson Uppstad, etc.

I understand that information is limited, missing or non-existent. Perhaps some of you are related and have details, photos, etc that you would be willing to share.

I posted one of the few photos I have of Olav. Been reaching out to digitial archives and setesdal museum and others. But like mentioned before, information may be hard to come by. I was told to reach out to family in Vennesla.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thank you, this information helps. Interesting how there were 3 other people residing with my great grand father and his family.
