Anton, your link to 1910 is the same as 1900, this is what you should have given 1910.

More information on your family from the Nordfjord Bygdebok. As is true of many Bygdebok the narrative usually starts around 1600. Probably due to the lack of usable records for most areas of Norway older than the mid 1500's. Also as is usual the narrative of your ancestors covers several farms as well as Loen. One branch of your family is associated with the Sande farm. The family line according to the Nordfjord Bygdebok begins with a person named Siffurd or Siurodt or Sijurd and in this book the dates listed are for the user of the Sande farm.
Siffurd "Siurd| user 1563 and named 1588 (the named refers to a document, likely parchment, in which he was named, usually for some financial transaction)
His son Simon user of the farm 1602 and likely from the family of Simon Hallsteinson. (meaning that the father of Siffurd was llikely Simon Hallsteinson)
The story now switches to the Haugen farm since the eldest son Rasmus takes over Sande and your ancestors Jacob needs to find another farm.
Jacob Simonson Sande on the Haugen farm, user of the Haugen farm 1627 and married to an Anne
Son Simon Jacobson Haugen user of the Haugen farm 1655, Wife Anne Larsdatter
Son Jacob Simonson Haugen d. 47 years old born abt. 1662 died abt 1709, user of the Haugen farm 1700 married first to Anne and second to Brite Magnusdtr. Tjugen.
and this family connects with the list presented on page 3.
I also looked at the Family Tree on Geni.com that belongs to Jahn Harald Loen. It seems to follow quite closely the narrative presented in the Bygdebok and perhaps uses that data for a reference. In case you are interested in following that tree here is a link.

As you can see tracing ones family back in time can be a chore. You need to sort through the list of names and farms in a Bygdebok and find the ones the pertain to you. Not always an easy task. There are of course a lot of other people in this Bygdebok that are ancestors of yours and some day you may be ready to dig through the book.

| Thank you Lyndal40. I was off the grid for a week because of surgery. I am always amazed when I see what you people keep digging up. Fasinating to say the least. |
