p. 517 (Translated into English):
Anders Martin Kolbeinsen married in 1887 Karen Margrethe Hansdtr fra Bjørnskinn. She was the sister of Hans Petter Hanssen on farm #19 and Kristine Hansdtr on farm #6.
Seven years after their marriage, Anders went to America to look up possibilities there. He came back before the turn of the century and the couple ran the farm for some time. In 1899 they got to buy the north half of Ander’s parents farm and perhaps stayed there. About the same time, a period of decline started, mostly because of the terrible fishing and much cold weather. In 1905 Anders and Karen with their five children emigrated. However, many years past before they sold their part of the farm, perhaps because the World War came in the way.
In 1918 Anders prepared for the sale. He divided out #25 to his brother Kolbein and two years afterward, he sold the rest. Kolbein never married and his part of the farm was put together with the main farm.
