Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather

Lived on Le Farm which is in Arnafjord of Vik in the Vik Bygdebok.

The bygdebok doesn't list exact dates, and sometimes doesn't list all children.

Page 206 of the Vik i Sogn bygdabok has the farm Le (in Arnafjord) and says something like:
After the black death the chuch at Flete owned part of Le and the pastor the other part, and there may have been other owners. The first farmer here that I know of is Johannes in 1603, then Lasse in 1611 and 1620s; in 1645 there were 2 farmers here: Kristoffer Kristofferson with wife Asa Amundsdatter, and Ivar with wife Dorte Knutsdotter.
(That was more or less my a translation with my self taught Norwegian. Note it has Kristofferson in this paragrah but the next paragraph has Kristenson. WO)

Le farm # 1 on this farm in 1645 has Kristoffer Kristenson and he was here until 1701. He was born in 1610. He had many sons, but I don't know of all of them:
Kristen went to Dalsvaer,
Gunnar had a part of Le for a time;
Sjur died unmarried;
Hans got the farm after his father;
Amund got farm 2 on Le.
Note: Our family tree database does not include someone named Amund. One more thing to check out. But the children’s mother is Ase Amundsdotter, so Amund could be her father or a child we do not know about who was given the father’s name….

(This is the author saying I don't know, etc. Next is something about these brothers but I don't quite understand it. I think it may say these brothers weren't getting along with each other. If you printed this page from the bygdabok, perhaps you could get someone from Sons of Norway - in Indiana or MN that is, to read it for you.

I entered that text into the Google translation site and it seems to be saying that Gunnar and Sjur were fighting because one of them, I believe Gunnar, had been doing unseeingly things with Sjur's wife.  It says he was found "hugging and stroking someone..." They fought with Gunnar drawing blood. Later he had to pay damages of 3 x 6 vertical silver units (must be some kind of silver unit), the equivalent of 9 riksdalar and to give 4 cows. This is kind of garbled in the Google translation, so I am not 100% sure. Nor does it say for sure that it was Sjur's wife….)

Bygdebok/bygdabok s are in many libraries in the U.S. You can get lists online. In MN St. Olaf College in Northfield has a very large collection. U of MN in the Twin Cities has some. LDS libray in Salt Lake City has some, U of NDak (or is it ND State - the northern one, the one not in Fargo) has many. Perhaps in IN the Fort Wayne library might have some. I have no idea. WO)
