I was wondering why I can not find anyone from Egersund Norway. Farm name Abaland. and family name Mauritzen/ I would like to get in touch with anyone who had this connection.

I found some Mauritssen/Mauritsdtr at the Abeland farm in Bjerkreim parish outside of Egersund. The census states the three persons (probably two brothers and a sister) belongs to the family. But it doesn't say anything about how they are related.
