Is there a question in this thread?

The farm/family history of perons who resided on the Bru farm in Rennesøy appears at the beginning of volume 3 of the Rennesøy bygdebøker.

Guri/Gurina's father was from Hauge farm in what was then Fjelberg district ("Aalunds Annex" parish) of Hordaland. That area was later called Ølen and there have been a number of recent changes to the jurisdiction. There are a series of bygdebøker for Ølen also.

This is probably Knut Eriksson's parents and family on the Hauge farm.

Thank you for the references.

I had no question in this posting, rather wanted to provide info on an immigrant listed on the Hebe's 1865 passenger manifest.
