[#4649] Is Rebnor near Rebnord?

[Gjest Brent Mikkelsen]

I have a old family story that says my great greatgrandfather came from a fishing village called Rebnor. However I see on the census of 1865 taht he was on a farm called Rebnord. Are these places the same? I can find Rebnor on a Norwegian map but I have no idea where Rebnord is. Thank you for any help you can give me.

It is in Lindaas in Hordaland - the western part of Norway.

This farm's name have been written i different ways : Rebnord (1865), Remnor (1723) Rebnor (1667) Rebnore (1620) Reffnnor (1611) and so on. "Fishing village" ? - Lindaas is located just outside of Bergen city, (now a suburb ?) it might have been called a fishing village at that time.
