Kitty and others looking at Fatland families... The difficulty here is that there are two Fatland threads running at once. Two different farms, one in Fjelberg, Fjelberg, one in Åkre, Skånevik To add to the confusion, both are in Kvinneherad today after the changes of 1965... Steve's thread initiates with a descendant of Guy Fatland 1918-1946 and Mary Sebesta 1919-1991 Guy is the Gr-Grandson of Ole Ingebrigtsen Fatland 1819-1894 who emigrated from Skånevik way back in 1847. Here in 1801 <http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=11&filnamn=f18011212&gardpostnr=68&merk=68#ovre> See #64 in this Udflyttede: Source information: Hordaland county, Skånevik, Parish register (official) nr.

Permanent pagelink: www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=11666&idx_id=11666&uid=ny&idx_side=-283 And this family from Åkre sogn in old Skånevik is the one mentioned in the Rootweb tree I posted earlier... The farm (there are a few today) is located along the north side of the Åkrafjorden Latitude: 59 45'56.04" Longitude: 6 3'51.34" **** Doris' family (and yours?) are from Fjelberg sogn in the old Fjelberg parish - as mentioned on the Island of Halsnøya Latitude: 59 44'55.06" Longitude: 5 44'43.61" Here in 1801: <http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=18&filnamn=f18011213&gardpostnr=147&merk=147#ovre> Here is Doris' Hans Andersen in 1865 - He will die in Liverpool during the family's emigration... <http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=5&filnamn=f61213&gardpostnr=219&merk=219#ovre> Cliff Lien Alberta, Canada cjl@interbaun.com -----Original Message----- From: Kitty Cooper via Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2015 2:55 AM To: NORWAY@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NOR] Fatland farm ​Great find Cliff but I do not see where the names are explained?
