Here is\u00a0this weeks\u00a0contribution to the 52 ancestors in 52 weeks Challenge.

<\/div>The theme for this week is “My favourite photo”. It is hard to pick one particular favourite. I ended up sharing this one of Tresfjord,\u00a0in M\u00f8re og Romsdal county, Norway. This is where quite a lot of my ancestors lived and so much of my family history took place.<\/p>\n

Going back through the generations, I have ancestors on most of the farms in Tresfjord.<\/p>\n

The road leading down to the houses is called “Syltebakken” \u2192 Sylte hill. Sylte is a name found many places in Norway as it refers to an estuary – often a low wetland. The river Tressa empties into the Tresfjorden here. The river divides Sylte into two parts. The part where\u00a0the photographer stood is called S\u00f8r-Sylte \u2192 South Sylte. The part on the other side of the river is Kyrkje-Sylte \u2192 Church Sylte. We can see the Church in the distance to the left in the picture. I\u00a0have often wondered about the name S\u00f8r-Sylte. In this picture we look fairly due south, so a more\u00a0natural name of this part should have been Vest-Sylte \u2192 West- Sylte. Anyway, we’ll stick with S\u00f8r-Sylte as they have done\u00a0for hundreds of years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Somewhere in\u00a0Syltebakken, the area closest to us, my 3G-Grandfather Hans Larsson S\u00f8r-Sylte<\/strong> lived. He was born in 1742 in\u00a0Nordsinni in the municipality of\u00a0Land, Oppland county, in\u00a0the Valdres area. He was born at the farm Skiaker, where his parents were cotters. They were Lars Jonson and Anne Mikkelsdotter. I don’t know much about Lars and Anne. They had two other children, Ingeborg b. 1736 and Mikkel b. 1746. Lars and Anne were living at different places at each of their children’s birth. In 1751 Lars and Anne moved to the farm Steinsrud s\u00f8ndre as cotters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know anything about Hans’ life in Valdres, but me must have been a tailor apprentice because when he arrives in Romsdal he is a trained tailor. What made Hans leave Valdres and travel north to Romsdal is not known. At the town \u00c5ndalsnes, Romsdal there were a big annual market. People came from afar to trade. This might have been one of the things that drew people from the Grubrandsdal and Valdres area. We will never know, but let us say that Guro Olsdatter followed her family to the market and met Hans who was there to sell clothes he had made. They fell in love and instead of going back home Hans decided to go with her to the Bergsvik farm, not far from \u00c5ndalsnes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nov 28 1776 he marries Guro Olsdatter<\/strong> from the farm Bergsvik, in Ve\u00f8y old church, M\u00f8re og Romsdal county. Guro was born 1746 by parents Ole Olson and Anne Ellingsdotter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hans Larson\u00a0was first registered in Tresfjord when his son Ole is baptised in 1781.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his book “Bygdebok for Tresfjord”,<\/em> Agnar Skeidsvoll tells that Hans was the first trained tailor to settle in Tresfjord and that he introduced a new style of jackets for men. The jacket was locally called “speljakke” and was styled after the old military uniforms used at the time. The jacket that Hans introduced was the inspiration for one of the national costumes from Romsdal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a picture taken many years and kilos ago of Inger Lise and me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inger Lise wears a costume from Vistdal in Romsdal. I wear the old national costume from Romsdal. We both look great squinting into the bright sun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here are Hans and Guro’s children, all born in Tresfjord<\/p>\n

i. Ole Hanson S\u00f8r-Sylte born 1781.
\nii. Marit Hansdotter S\u00f8r-Sylte born 1783.
\niii. Hans Hanson S\u00f8r-Sylte born 1786 died one year old
\niv. Hans Hanson S\u00f8r-Sylte born 1788 and died den 05 Nov 1851 in\u00a0Tresfjord
\nv. Lars Hanson S\u00f8r-Sylte born 1790<\/p>\n

Hans Hanson born 1788 is my 2G-Grandfather. He was trained as a tailor by his father. One story retold in the book by Agnar Skeidsvoll gives the impression that Hans Larson had a bit of a temper. One time when he and his son visited the farm S\u00e6tre in Tresfjord to make clothes for the entire household, Hans jr. made a costly mistake and his father got mad and wacked him so hard that he fell down from the table where they sat tailoring.<\/p>\n

We must assume that Hans and Guro\u00a0 lived in very modest accommodation in Tresfjord. Here is an example of a cotter’s cabin from a different part of Tresfjord\/Vestnes.<\/p>\n

Hans’ wife Guro died 17 Nov 1798 And was laid to rest in the cemetery by Tresfjord Church December 2. the same year.<\/p>\n

In the 1801 census Hans Larson is listed as a widower, cotter without land and tailor. His son Hans jr is the only child living at home. His younger brother Lars is not there. He may have died or he was fostered by another family due to his young age when his mother died.<\/p>\n

March 17th 1801 Hans Larsson died in Tresfjord “of old age(!)<\/strong> 59 years old”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
