My grandmother was born Ragnhild Salmine Reinertsdatter in 1891 on the Kylleberg farm in Lista, Vest-Agder. Her father was Reinert Berthinius Tobiassen born 1853 on Kinnungsland (Kindingsland). He was a "handelsmand skræppekarl" and the family moved around a lot, living also on Stave, Vinneim and Vere. They do not appear in any of the bygdebøker for these farms. His wife was Severine Jørgine Olsdatter born 1854 on Vinneim. Their other children were Teodora (1876), Oskar (1878), Rikard (1882), Eleanore (1886), Agnes (1894) and Torleif (1896).

Is anyone else researching these people?

The bygdebok Lyngdal III page 304 has information about Reinert Bertinius Tobiassen, b. 1853 on Kinnungsland, and many ancestors in same area. 1865 census - 1900 census
His brother Abraham Tobias (1855-1914) was a teacher in Spind 1900 census - 1910 census

What sort of information are you searching for?

Harald,

Yes, thank you, I have seen that information (I own Lyngdal III) and I have traced my grandmother back many generations. What I would like to do is make contact with other people researching my grandmother, or one of her six siblings, uncles, aunts, etc.
