Yes, some of the images is hard to "capture", perhaps someone in this forum has a solution for that.
Norwegian naming fare back can be a puzzle, perhaps it was the same in other countries to?
Visit Voss:
You can visit Voss with this map, write Mykkeltveit and click om Mykkeltveit (gårdsbruk) Voss and watch the farm, change to "foto" and use the zoom.
I wonder if Lillevik (Little bay) bacame Storevik (Large bay), see 1900 census "Gard" Farm Lillevik and Storevik, it seems to me it was one farm
Spell Storeviki Voss and watch the farm.
The pictures are a bit blurred for this area.
Good luck

I am confused now
Lars Sjurson Lillevig
"Lars Sjursen was baptized July 30 1820, see #71his parents were Sjur Simonsen and Barbraa Nielsdatter Lillevig.
Lars Sjursen and Ragnilde Andersdatter were married July 3 1846, see #51
Lars father was Sjur Simonsen and Ragnildes father was Anders Biørnesen Mykletveit.
Siur Simonsen, Lars father was not married at the census in 1801
Lars grandparents were Simon Siursen and Brita Larsdatter."
now in 1900 who is this? |

Some confusing all the Sjur/Sjursen and Simom/Simonsen names. Also Barbro Nielsdatter age 39 "Føderadskone" is confusing. Did I loose the track, easy not to see the forest because of all the trees?
Guess you are wondering about Sjur Simonsen on Lillevik in 1900?
Lets return to 1865 and Lillevik and Sjur Simonsen age 32, unmarried (son of Simon Sjursen age 66, born on Lillevik 1806,he married Ranvei Andersdatter Mykletveit in Evanger on June 16.1833 #47 page 305) "Hjelper forældrene med Gaardsbruget" Helping the parents running the farm.
Sjur Simonsen should then be Britha Larsdatter´s ,age 5 in the same page, cousin (I assumed that Simon and Lars Sjursen on Lillevik in 1865 were brothers).
Sjur S (Simonsen) Lillevik married Marie Haldorsdatter and takes over Lillevik, see 1900 census
Amazing what can be foun on internet.
When I made a search in lillevik and Sjur I came across this familytree. it looks like you have a distant cousin in Norway descendans fron Sjur Simonsen Lillevik in the 1900 census.
You can reach him in his "Gjestbok" Guest book and ask him for further information.
Band 1 & 2 in Evangerboka has likley the solution.
Guess the owner of the family tree is wondering what happened to the emigrants.
This family goes back to about 1658 and Torbjørn Bårdsen Selheim from Voss

From the 1865 census, Simon Sjursen age 66?/59 and Lars Sjursen age 46 were brothers (I was wondering if a namesake had showed up) :
Simon Sjursen was born in 1806 on Lillevik in Evanger sub parish, left page 2. baptism after the headline:
Evanger sokn:
Siur Simonsen and Barbro Nielsdatter Lillevig son Simon. Barbra Nielsdatter was born on Nakka.
Lars Sjursen was born on Lillevik in 1820, same parents (see Einars posting 5/6 2008) #71
Barbara (Barbro) Nielsdatter from the same census wasn´t 39 but 89, she was born 1776 and died 1871, she was retired as "Føderaadskone and married Sjur Simonsen in June 1801.

You are welcome.
Mykkeltveit is likley more some kind of a summer recidens now, her is another picture of the main building.
Here is Selheim, Torbjørn Bårdsen, born about 1658, recidense.
Here is the Photo register where you can take more lookups from the same farms and the area in alphabetic order, down bottom page "neste" means next and "førre" meabs former page, its a anormous register.
Good luck

Did your cousins and aunt Hjordis enjoy the pictures?
Hjørdis is a "110" % Norwegian name.
That would be all I was able to bring up, further information could likley be found in the local historian books called "Bygdebok", or from your new cousin.
If anything is confusing do come back and ask for help, there are many willing to give support here.
Good luck in sorting out your family tree.

oh why oh why do they name all the kids the same name ???!!!!
I have printed out what information I have gotten here + my LDS Family Group records and I hope to decifer this somehow
It's the Sjur's that are getting me crazy - I will be back in a few days to tell you what I have figured out... Thanks again for your help
PS.
I wote to the guestbook of my "new Cousin" in Norway - I hope he will write me back _ I Also downloaded his family line - but it (of course) is in Norwegian too!
I wish our grandparents would have taught us Norwegian when it would have been easier to learn - too busy joining the "meltng pot" of America
