Family

SO: D-042. Does not spell out the name of this ancestor but says that this Sondre had served as a soldier in the war against Sweden and had come from the `East' to the Flatdal area, a valley surrounded by Massive mountain ranges of the Upper Telemark region. Here he found work with various people and had saved some money when fell in love with one of the girls in the valley but she would not marry him unless he would provide a house. He was granted a piece of land which ended at the perpendicular wall of mountain. Here he cleared the land and built an unusual cabin by leaning huge timbers against the moutain wall. Because of the unusual construction, the farm became known as REISHUS. (REIS: a V shaped log pile.). It was here that he brought his bride to live. Her name was Ragna. Sandre and Ragna has seven children, all girls. Ragnhild was the oldest and inherited the place from her parents. She married a man from Aamoltsdal by the name of Olav. Together they had one child, a son who they named, Sogne, after his grandfather. When Sogne was 22 years old he married Ingebjor.
