I have come across a brother of Reinert Tobiassen from Kinnungsland, Lyngdal. Teodor Tobiassen, born 1859, married to Anne Kristine Eriksen (Edvardsdatter), born 1859 in Mandal. They are in 1900 on Borøya in Dybvåg, Aust-Agder, where also the father and a brother of Anne Kristine had settled. Thomalie Eriksen, the sister of Anne Kristine, turned up in a message board in Rootsweb, Norway, General: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.scan-balt.norway.general&m=3146.1.2.1.1.2 > Rikard Reinertsen, a servant, b. 1884, was perhaps one of the > siblings: > http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f01041&gardpostnr=22&personpostnr=107&merk=107#ovre > > The father Reinert Tobiassen was from Kinnungsland in Lyngdal. > http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61032&gardpostnr=777&personpostnr=3624&merk=3624#ovre > > The family is mentioned on page 304 in the book LYNGDAL III.
