Histories

JOHANNES MONSSON VASSDAL was born and farmed at Vassdal. His first wife INGEBJORG OLSDTR SORE MYKING came from Gjerstad about 3 miles SW of Vassdal. After she died he married MARTA JOHANNESDTR OLSNES from Olsnes on the other side of the fjord about 4 miles SE of Vassdal.

    One source records Marta's birthdate as 1695 but this looks incorrect. She was probably born after 1712 (see 277).

    After Johannes died Marta married (1757) Jakob Tomasson Hana (b 1736) who came to take over the farm. They had no children. In 1768 Jakob was a "juryman" (lawyer?) for Mjelde. When Marta died Jakob married (1789) his niece Magdeli Olsdtr Hana (b 1768) and they had 7 children between 1792 and 1805. Jakob died that year and Magdeli in 1827.

    MARTA married Anders B Kyrkje-Bruvik.

    MARTA married Johannes J Tveiten and apparently lived in Hosanger.
