Regarding the eldest
generations, you must be aware that there are many uncertainties - especially
earlier than about year 1600. So I cannot guarantee that information from that
time is wholly correct. Moreover - many familys in Norway present ancestor lists
going back to the old kings, but these lists are almost never correct. So even
if I know that some family trees in Lisbeth´s family have King Hårald Hårfagre
as a forefather, there exists no evidence that this is a fact, as is also the
case in most other familys as well.
However, there are many
men among her ancestors who are outstanding persons in the society, some
wealthy, some with privileges from royal and clerical authorities, some with
titles such as "ridder" or "væpner" (knight or something
like that, noble persons anyway). So as in many Norwegian familys, there
are all kinds of people, most of them probably ordinary hard working men and
women.

"Hi again:) I have been in contakt with my
sister Tove that have done some reseach on our family history. We are not
related to the family Lindsoe in Dovre. My great grandmother , mother of Einar
Lindsøe took a job on the Lindsoe farm in Dovre back in the old days. Before
that she worked on a farm Killi in Dovre and she got a son with the son on the
Killi farm, Even. That son was Einar. Later she left the farm and with her, she
brought Einar to work and live at the Lindsoe farm. Einar grew up on the Lindsoe
farm and took the name of the farm. They lived there a while but left Dovre and
bought a house in Sel. With them, they also brought an old man from the Lindsoe
farm, do not know if this old man was a Lindsoe. But my great grandmother took
care of this man to his death. I dont know his name. Hmm..
this family research is not easy.
