I am going to Norway this summer and want to visit the family farm. Stolde Church records indicate my great grandfather was named Hendrick Hendricksson of Kallestabachen farm (Henry Henryson in America). I have used the kart/finn.no map recommended by several of you. Despite hours of searching farms near Etne, I have had no luck.

Our family records have an unsigned/undated entry stating that ""The farm that he (Lars) was born in was then called Kallestadbakken but is now called Ostebo.". I have also searched for Ostebo with no luck.

Anyone have any ideas?

Was your Lars born after 1865?
Most likely his parents Henrik Henriksen and Engeborg Knudsdatter, a son Knud, a daughter Madela and a fosterson Haagen on Kallestadbakken 1865

Correction. Your Lars was born Marc 27.1822 and it was his half brother Henrik b. 1814 who takes over Kallestad also called Kaldestadbakken.

3 of Lars siblings Guro. Torkjell and Asmund also em. to America.

It could be that Ostebo is Øvstebø (upper Bø), look at the map here.

I think Østebø and Øvstebø is the same farm. In official papers in Etne the name Østebø is used but marked Øvstebø in the official map for properties in Etne link

Hi Michael, I see you started a new thread on this same topic

Please add more identifying information than just the names.The names Lars and Henrik repeat. Add approximate year of birth (or actual birth date, even better), the name of the wife, etc. Thanks.

Kaldestabkken is located near the lake "Stordalsvatnet", close to Haafoss. Maybe you will be able to load this map: http://kart.gulesider.no/?query=Kaldestadbakken%205590%20Etne
I can probably find out some more about your ancestor, if you like (contact me direct at hagangst (@) online.no
