Wonderful map, Thank you. When reviewing all that has been sent to me I noticed that the marriage record for Ole Christopherson & Kari Zachariasdatter is on the same page as that of another of my great grandparents, Anders Anderson and Endrine Christophersdatter. I think that all these farms must have been close. Ole on Vasness, Kari on Drona, Anders on Brekke and Endrine on Storebo. Another Great grand was Halvor Jacobsen of Busfesund.

Couldn't find any farm named "Brekke" on the island of Huftarøy, but the other farms are located on the map below. Storebø is next to the church.




Storebø Church (1890)

Oh....Jan Peter.....Thank you so much. The maps are fantastic and the picture of the church is like the frosting on a cake. Can't wait to share with the family.

When I click on the 1801 census reference for Rasmus Olsen and Brithe Erichsdatter, Wasnaes and children I get the 1809 baptism record for Christie Olesdatter. Would you mind pulling up the census for me. Thank you. Wanda
