Please find the attached pdf-file for a family-tree. The name Sektnan is as far as I know only used by a single "familybranch", and it comes from the Farm Segtnan in Levanger, Nord-Trøndelag, Norway. Segtnan or Setnan is from old norwegian Seti which means a small flat area (plain?) usually a bit elevated (recess, ledge ?) (in old records you may find Sektnan spelled as Sæchnan (Saechnan)) Morten Granseth Norway
