My great great grandfather, Odd Knutson Thoe, immigrated from the Thoe (To) farm in Evanger, Voss area. We plan to visit Norway next year and are searching for any descendants of Knut Knutson To (1769 - 1841) and Brytteva Haldordtr Bjorgas (1761-1800) who lived on this farm. We would also be interested in contacting the present owner of this farm. Any contact information would be appreciated. Thanks. Kathy Sigdestad

Hi,
here is a guestbook for a man called Svein Ulvund from Voss; click here. Hit Ctrl-F and search for To farm" (without quotation marks). There is a "Mary Jo Anderson" who have had the To farm as background on her computer....

Have a look at his page, and email him or some of the people in the guestbook, I'm sure someone there can help you.
