My family records show they came from Bomlo and other records say they came from Loning. Are both correct?

My husband’s grandfather came from Norway, a minister in Oregon, then in North Dakota. We visited Stord several times, because that was where the wife and young daughter moved back to, after Reverend Ole Håheim died (in Zahl, North Dakota). The child was named Kari Johanna Håheim, became a teacher in Leirvik where she lived and died. We are also related to several Aadland families on Stord, Rev. Herman Inge Aadland of Fitjar, and Berge near Leirvik.
Roger Haaheim has passed, but I still own a house in ID on the west slope of the Tetons. Hope to be visiting there sometime soon, north of Victor.

Above article was very useful for me. I have been in Norway for last 3 years but it will be 1st time to that part of the country. Let’s see how it goes.

Since, in Norway, the land passes from 1st son to 1st son, the present land owners are Michell Lønning, his wife and children. My grandfather, Michell’s uncle, the 5th of 13 children, immigrated to America in the early 1900’s. My father eventually settled in Minnesota and I presently live in Idaho. I feel a strong tie to Stord and have visited several times in my lifetime.

My great grandfather immigrated from Stord to Minnesota back in the 1860’s. We visited my wife’s relatives in Setesdal in 2002 and then drove E39 from Stavanger to Bergen. Wish I had more time on Stord.
Takk
Peter Hendrickson
