Thor's Maternal Ancestors
We are very distant cousins indeed, but descendants of Thor's maternal
grandfather Aanund Torson Barskor can claim Queen Sonja of Norway as a
relative through the Fjagesund family. More about this interesting (if
somewhat obscure) connection will appear here in the future.

Early Family History Drawn from Rygh's Norske Gaardnavne (Norwegian Farm Names) and other sources |
Records indicate that in 1510 Asgeir Talleivson leased some land on the farm Tveiten in Skafsa to Olav Tarjeison. There are a number of indicators (but as yet no confirmation) that Thor's grandmother, Anne Knudtsdatter N. Tveiten's family had been tied to this farm area for almost 300 years when she was born! |
Talleiv Savison Kvalen purchased the Barskortveiten farm from his brother-in-laws Jon Knutson and Jon Vaeting in 1754 for 372 riksdalars. Around 1786 Talleiv and Ingerid gave their son Knut Talleivson N. Tveiten the farm in exchange for a pension. |
