Notes
- !SO: A-020-c PROBLEM: (A-20-c) Palmer gives father's name as Hans Nilsen Skonneset (later Bekkeset by becoming owner of that farm). This he writes in 1982, apparantly after translating a Norwegion History for Sammie Lois Lang. Palmer lists 8 children. NOTES: Halvor and Margit had no children. MARRIAGE: Date from A-020-d. Halvor apparantly was not married until age 52. A-020-d says that he farmed Bekkeset and his sisters, Ragnhild and Sigrid, kept house for him. He was quite involved in the affairs of the community and was a director of the Nore Savings Bank. About 1938 he sold the farm (North Bekkeset) to Nils Torstensen of South Bekkeset, retaining lifetime rights for himself and his wife. However, his wife, Margit, died in 1938 at the age of 61. Halvor died in 1941, age 73. As of 1963, Nils Torstensen and wife Inga Olsdotter were still the residents of North Bekkeset.
