Hi Margit, Which Vatne are you looking for? There are about two dozen in Norway. If you are looking for Vatne farm in Eiken parish, near Hægebostad, in Vest Agder, my Dad came from there, and my cousins are still on the farm. It appears in the 1801 census as Wathne, and Eiken appears as Enghens. About ten years ago, I got some information on my Dad's ancestors from a lady who was working on a bygdebok for Eiken, but it does not appear to have ever been completed. I don't have much information on people from there yet, but there might be a chance that you are looking for someone I have information about.
