The book tells us that Jens died in 1897 and Ragna's mother moved to Bergen (where I live) with her children around the turn of the last century. She was still living on Tysnes in the 1900-census:

Ragnas father was the 7th generation of that family (and alas, the last) on the Alsaker farm, it was passed on from father to son since the mid 16-hundreds. (Glad to see that you still got the hang of it, Taryn :-) I'm working on a chart for Barbara now!
