The meaning of the name Stordokk.
Stor means lagre and dokk is another local word for "Kvelving", a rise in the landscape.
Stordokk is located at the foot of the hill Skagsċsen (ċsen means hill) a bit south from Skaget.
The farm was liklely abandoned before WW2 and the soil was cultivated together with the fields on Skaget.

Kare,
Thank you for the latest information! I wish I could talk to my grandparents. There are so many questions I would ask, but because that is impossible, I count on help from wonderful people like you!
Thanks so very much,

Hi,
I understand what you mean about the questions to your grandparents.
Halvor and Inger´s only children were the three brothers Halvor, Gunul and Ole who all emigratet.
Halvor Halvorsen Stordokk started to clear the land probably shortly after 1800´s and was the first settler on Stordokk about 1803.
This family was very poor, in 1826 Halvor recieved 30 Skilling in support from the community in 1847 the support was increased to 3 Spesiedaler.
1837 Halvor and Inge recieved "Festebrev" signed a contract which enabled them to stay on Stordokk for the rest of their life from Torsten Gjermundsen Skaget, dated June 6. 1837.
The reason for the 1839 emigration can be found here from Ansten Nattestads return in 1838 after the 1837 emigration.
The two farms Nattestad and Stordokk were almost neighbors.
When they came to Drammen town Bark Emilie not had no capasity for more than 97 emigrants and more than 100 emigrated from the Numedal area plus a large group from Telemark had arrived.
Because of that, the three from Stordokk were adult people with no children are not mentioned on bark Emilie, I think they left with the two Telemark parties called the Lonar party and the Rue party via Sweden and hired the US brig Banyan, this journey that ended in Milwaukee is mentioned a bit down here

There are indications that the Stordoc´s might first have settled down in Illinois. Gunnul Stordock lived 1844 in Winnebago where his son Halvor was born 1844.
The girl the son Halvor married, Anna Gurine Venos, was liklely from Venċs in Flesberg parish, Numedal
He is also mentioned here in this old book by Ulvestad, "Normĉnd i amerikanske krige" Norwegians in American wars, left side 9. person from top;
Stordock H.G (Halvor Gunulsen) from Nummedal Private post war died Rothsay Minnesota, see here.
Ole Stordock is mentioned in Avon township, Wisconsin 1860, see ab. one and a half inch down.
More information tomorrow

Hi.
The emigration groups from the two ships Emilie and Hilda seems to have been reunited in the US from where they traveled on to Clinton, Rock County, Wisconsin where Ole Nattestad had settled down on his own homestead claimed July 1. 1838. His only "neighbors" had been 8 American settlers, flocks of deers and Prairie Wolfs that due the howling kept him awake at night until he learned to live with it.
Gunul and Margit Stordock is mentioned in "Laugen History" with Gullic and Margit Springen, living conditions in Luther Valley (Rock County) where of cource the living conditions was very primitive from the beginning.
See down page, headline:
Laugen History
From the Luther Valley centenniel 1839-1939
Furhter down, almost bottom:
1851 Ole Stordoc bought 120 acres of land.
Ole Stordoc lost his oldest son when he stepped on a Rattlesnake.
