I am interested in learning the fate of 3 first cousins of my grandfather, all born on a farm in the rural area Kjenes in Seim parish, Hordaland, sons of Villum Gullaksen. [1] Kristian, born 7 Sep 1872. Last record I find is his confirmation at Seim on 24 Apr 1887; [2] Lars, born 1870. Last record: 1900 census includes him with the family at Kjenes, identifies him as sjømand, reisende tilsjøs; [3] Wilhelm Joachim, born 1884. Last record: 1900 census includes him with the family at Kjenes, gaardbruksarbeider.
The farm Kjenes was taken over by a younger brother Ingebrikt. I find no record of the 3 other brothers in Seim parish records for death or marriage, nor in a general search thru digitalarkivet. Also, no immigration records to USA thru Ancestry.com.

There was also a sister Andrea, born in 1877 (No 14; note that both parents match those in the bygdebok, now below)

and married in 1899 (No 6)

In 1910 she had already six children. (Seeemingly, although the combination of birtdays given is impossible as it stands.)

Died 1954:

Note that Kjenes had the old Danish spelling Kidenæs in the 1875 census. Kid (meaning a young goat) is exactly the same word in Danish and English.
