Father: Knut PEDERSEN (1767-1829)
Mother: Kari RASMUSDTR (1766-1825)
lived farm #4 Østerhus, Strand, Norway
A very long time ago the main farm in that part of Strand was
Øvre (Upper) Bjørheim, and Østerhus was a part of this farm, called
the farm to the East of (Øvre Bjørheim).
Østerhus was originally one farm and probably early 1700's divided
into two farms what is now farm 1 and 4.
Then farm no. 3 was separated from farm no. 1 in 1853 and the
same year was farm no. 5 separated from farm no. 3.
In 1855 farm no. 2 was separated from farm no. 1.
Farm no. 6 was separated from farm no. 4, and so on.
Peder grew up at Østerhus. His parents rented Vaula farm from 1798-1807
info from Stein
I have a book called "Norges bebyggelse", volume "Mid-Rogaland, Rural
section" published in 1957, where all rural residential houses in Mid
Rogaland are listed together with vital data on the owners and their
families, as well as a small photo of each house. The photo is exactly the
same as in Edgar's photo album. This is what is said about the farm:
info from Stein
"Nerhus, farm no. 26, subfarm 5. Located by busstop. Postal address
Bjørheimsbygd. Size approx. 17.5 acres usable field, hereof 5 acres bearing
crops. Approx. 62 acres outlying fields and wood. Main house built of timber
in 1 1/2 floor, house extended around 1880 and around 1916, 600 square feet,
5 rooms, kitchen, basement. Cowshed built of timber before 1870, barn built
same year. Chicken house built 1920, baking and brewing house 1916. To
present owner 1917. Live stock 4 cows, 1 - 2 calfs, horse, 200 chicken, pig,
20 - 25 sheep. - Owner: Endre Nerhus, born Nov 12, 1884 in Strand,
parents Sevrine and Asbjørn N., married 1919 to Ingeborg Måland, born Dec
29, 1892 in Måland, parents Rakel and Johne M. Children: Sevrine, born Mar
11, 1921, Johne, born Jan 1, 1923. - The owner has passed away."
I think the house on the left, the "grey" one, is a "folga", i.e. a house
for the retired farmer (present farmer's parents, or previous owner if the
farm was bought instead of inherited). The white one is the main house. The
"folga" was usually an older house, and the style of this one (with the shed
built in on the left hand side) suggests that it's from before 1870. The
newest house in my street in Tau that had that feature was from 1881. These
sheds were usually used to store fire wood, by the way. At least when I was
a kid (in the 70's).
info from Arne Sivertsen
People were always buried on the local church's cemetery.
If they belonged to the Årdal church, they also were buried there.
Never on a farm.
The Jørmeland people were buried on the cemetery at Hjelmeland church.
Quite a long way to take the body, but sure they did.
Then one week after the funeral, a big party was held, a socalled "gravøl".
All the neighbors were invited, and it was a duty to participate.
A gravøl was not necessarily a sad party, on the contrary the meaning was
to be lively and have fun, so that the soul of the deceased would better get
peace and rest -.

Gabriel born 1851 was living together with his mother in 1865.
In 1875 he worked with spinning and sale of yarn.
( He is the only one listed with spinning as a profession, but it is probably the poll clerk who has
been inaccurate. it was more likely Gunhild who did the spinning and Gabriel sold the yarn?)
Tollak b. 1855 emigrated to America in the spring 1865 only 10 years old.
He probably joined the group leaving Rodabakken the same spring.
Pedar and Gunhild took over the farm after his father in 1830. Gunhild was
later provided for by the new owner. In 1875 she had 15 sheep and 1 pig, and
she seeded 1/5 barrel barley and 1/2 barrel potatoes.
We havn't found her or Gabriel as dead in Strand, and they have probably
emigrated to America as so many others in the family did.

Gunhild Asbjørnsdatter, born 1808 on the Nerhus farm, Strand parish,
Rogaland county, Norway.

children there.

info from Bygdebok:
owned farm #5 Østerhus. They were farmers on Østerhus since their marriage. In 1865 they had 4 cows and 10 sheep. They seeded 1 barrel of oats and 2 barrels of potatoes. In 1867 the farm consisted of about 2.5 acres, both field and cutivated meadow. They had 4 acres of inferior meadow, but still cutlivable. At the turn of year 1875-76 they might have been starting to abolish the farm. At that time they had only 2 cows and 1 pig, while they had been seeding for the last time 1/5 barrel of barley, 1 barel of oats and 3 barrels of potatoes. Halvard met with the minister in early May of 1876 and announced that he considered to emigrate to Illinois in the United States.
In america Halvard and Siri dropped the farm name and went by the last name of Halvardsen.
