    Notes:

    In Norway, in the 1800’s, men who worked for rich farmers were called ‘husmann’. Wages were small. They were given a small piece of land, where they could plant potatoes and a few vegetables. They could only work on their own land at night, after their 10-12 hour days working for the big farmers.

    Hans became tired of seeing his father, Engebret, toil like this to make a living for his family.

    At 18 (1852), Hans left home on foot, walking north over Dovrefjellet (a mountain range in Norway). He would stop and work at different places. In 1854, he arrived in Grong in North Trondelag (north of Trondheim), where he found employment at the Lutheran Church farm. Apparently, in those days some big farms belonged to the Stave Churches.

    On this particular farm, there was a maid working who had come from Meselt, Storelvdal in Osterdal. She was Sigrid (Siri) Halvorson. Hans and Siri fell in love and got married. They moved around, living in many places in the North Trondelag area. They heard of the big timber logging in Vefsen, Nordland and moved there. They lived on a small farm named Bjorkjonnlid, until they immigrated to America with some of their children. They settled in Estherville, Iowa in 1891. Hans was 57 years old, but he continued farming and working on the railroad. Both lived a long and fruitful life.
    ——
    Hans owned Flåttådalen in Namsskogan, which he bought for 400 Spd. and sold it in 1868 for 250 Spd. The family then moved to Bjortjønnlia, where they lived until 1890 when they emigrated to America.

    Speciedaler (Spd.) was used as the main currency in Norway between 1816 and 1872. One Speciedaler could be divided in to 5 ort (mark) or in to 120 Skilling. The abbreviation for Speciedaler is Spd.
    Between 1872 and 1874 the currency was changed from Speciedaler to Kroner. 1 Speciedaler was made equal to 4 Kroner. 1 Krone is divided into 100 øre. The abbreviation used for Kroner is Kr. or NOK.
    ——
    Revlingen was the name of the farm where they were born, in Fåvang in Oppland County.
