Thank you very much both of you for great help to find this people. I will try to find a person in this families intrested in Norway heritage and its a very sad story why they leave Norway. Jakob Torsteinson Garen die in a terrible snowstorm at Hardangervidda 1868, he was haunting reindeer. Summer after he was found ca. 10 kilometer from his home. The Norwegian king had give some familis living in high mountains license to haunt reindeer when they and family have nothing else to eat. Its called "Kongeskjøte".
Olava offer a neighbor to bay her mountain farm, so she and her children had money for tickets to USA. After this there have been no contact. Today I own this farm, and its a part of history for it.
Best regards
Gunnar Garen |
