Hausnes, Etne, Location

[Gordon Collett]

Could someone tell me the location of the Hausnes farm in Etne? It is listed in the Etne bygdebok and when searching on the internet I find it mentioned as the birth place for quite a few individuals. It is mentioned in a government report from 1985 with the title "ETNEUTBYGGINGEN: Mulige endringer i vanntemperatur og isforhold ved en utbygging" in one sentence: "Et område på sørsiden av vatnet, mellom Flåte og Hausnes, har ikke veg."

 

However, it is not shown on Norgeskart or any other mapping service I have tried. I cannot find it in census records. It is not listed in Matrikkelutkastet av 1950.

 

Based on its listing in the Bygdebok, it should lie somewhat between Håheim and Kvamen. I don't have the bydgebok itself, just a copy of the table of contents so have not been able to see if the chapter covering it has any information about exactly where it is.

 

Is Hausnes another name for Håheimsnes which is on the map in the correct general area, is listed in census records, is in Matrikkelutkastet av 1950, but is not listed in the bygdebok?

 

Thanks for your help,

According to O. Rygh: Norwegian Farm Names, the local pronounciation of Haaheimsnes is Hau'snes: https://www.dokpro.uio.no/perl/navnegransking/rygh_ng/rygh_visetekst.prl?s=e&Vise=Show&KRYSS168135%4037751=on

Thank you. The information from Rygh gets everything to fit together nicely.

Yes, that is correct. This is where my father is born and grew up. 🙂

Thank you for the confirmation!
