\"\"<\/p>\n

Tomine S\u00f8rensdtr Eidet was born on J\u00f8rgenstad, Lindesnes in 1860. She died on 15. June 1948, and was the daughter of S\u00f8ren Jacobsen J\u00f8rgenstad and Ingeborg Torstensdatter (see below). According to Tveit church records the bachelor and lumberjack Aanen Aanensen \u00d8idne, b.1852, in Bjelland parish and pige Tomine Regine's S\u00f8rensdtr J\u00f8rgenstad b. 1860, in S\u00f8ndre Undal parish were married the 5. november 1878. Aanen was the son of Aanen Torjesen \u00d8idne and Ingeborg Tjostelsdatter, both from Bjelland. His mother became an early widow, and was living with \"husmand\" Tjostel Sjursen on Rebaas, who was her father (see below). It was probably here Aanen and Anne were born. According to Grindheim church record A-1 Aanen upper \u00d8idne was born 21. September 1852 and baptized 10. October of the same year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"AanenKonf1\"<\/p>\n

\"AanenKonf2\"From the church records in Grindheim \u2013 about Aanens confirmation (1867). Here it says that he was born 21\/9-1852 and baptized 10\/10 the same year. He was from \u00d8idne, and was the son of Aanen Torjussen and Ingeborg Tjostelsdtr. He was vaccinated 25\/10-53. Otherwise, there is a comment about the Aanens achievements in Christian knowledge. It is not easy to decipher this, but I guess it means that Aanen had \"maadelig (average) knowledge\". The last comment concerns the behavior and diligence, which is not easy to decipher.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Livet til Tomine var selvsagt preget av ytre omstendigheter, b\u00e5de lokale og globale omstendigheter. Hun gjennomlevde flere verdensomspennende kriser, bl.a. to verdenskriger, en influensa-pandemi og en \u00f8konomisk depresjon. Influensapandemien kalles ogs\u00e5 spanskesyken. Den hadde sv\u00e6rt h\u00f8y d\u00f8delighet og smittet anslagsvis 500 millioner mennesker \u2013 rundt en fjerdedel av verdens befolkning.<\/sup> Antallet d\u00f8de er ansl\u00e5tt til mellom 17 og 50 millioner, og kanskje s\u00e5 h\u00f8yt som 100 millioner, noe som gj\u00f8r den til en av de verste pandemier i historien.\u00a0<\/sup><\/sup><\/sup>Det antas at det i Norge omkom 13 000\u201315 000 mennesker, de fleste av lungebetennelse eller lungekomplikasjoner.<\/p>\n

\u00c5lefj\u00e6r today<\/p>\n

Neither Tomine or Aanen was from \u00c5lefj\u00e6r, but both stayed on the L\u00f8msland Tveit when they married in 1878. Here<\/a><\/span> lived Aanens twin sister Anne Aanensdtr \u00d8idne, who was married to Abraham S\u00f8rensen (from Vigmostad). Also Aanens mom lived on L\u00f8msland during the census of 1875; Aanen (tjenestegut (servant) on Landvig) was then on a visit (see here<\/a> and\u00a0here<\/a><\/span>). Aanen had thus his mother and sister in the L\u00f8msland. Here is a registered migration<\/a><\/span>. He moved from Bjelland (28\/10-1878<\/a><\/span>), she moved from J\u00f8rgenstad<\/a>. What with Tomine? Was it in L\u00f8msland she met Aanen? Why would she travel to L\u00f8msland? Her mother was from Vigmostad, and it is not unlikely that she knew Abraham S\u00f8rensen from before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around the turn of the century \u00c5lefj\u00e6r was a distinct export harbour where large sailing ships, brigs and steamers loaded lumber for sale to Belgium and England. There were two sawmills in actiobn, namely Kost\u00f8l steam saw and Anders Valley water saw. Kost\u00f8l steamsaw was started in 1882. It is not unlikely that there was this business that drew Aanen to \u00c5lefj\u00e6r. He is listed as a lumberjack, and delivered probably timber to the saw mills. The small village had around the turn of the century a population of about 150 with small and large. Aanen was probably damaged in the work, and in the church records in connection with his death it says \"skovarbeider\"(forest worker), and that he died of \"benbetennelse\"- inflammation in a leg. In connection with her daughter Kristine's death in may 1895 it is said that he was \"fattigunderst\u00f8ttet dagarbeider\" (\"poverty supported\" by the state). He probably already had health issues, and had no permanent job.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/em> Illustration: An early morning at the bark-houses in Lilleviga in \u00c5lefj\u00e6r around the year 1900. Here comes the farmers in small boats to deliver oak bark, and the finished cut bark is loaded on board in a smaller freighter. Drawing by Arvid Bergst\u00f8l (Tveit historical society \u00c5rsskrift 2029).<\/span><\/p>\n

From F\u00e6drelandsvennen (local newspaper)<\/strong> we find small items that tell about the activity on the docks in \u00c5lefj\u00e6r:
\n<\/span><\/em>13.08.1880. Provisions of the farmer's forest products has in the summer been good. The price of the load, the table and the bark is a good deal higher than in the previous year. The shipping of the products is of no small importance for Tveds sogn. In the summer have 30-40 larger and smaller vessels at the \u00c5lefj\u00e6r been loaded with the Danish cargo, board, planks, props, and oak bark.<\/em>
\n11.07.1881. From the surrounding farms a whole lot of timber are brought down to \u00c5lefj\u00e6rfjorden, where a large part is cut to planks, while the smaller cargo is shipped as props. In the spring and in the summer in \u00c5lefj\u00e6rfjorden it was loaded 26 vessels. When the shipping didn't start until 8. may, it is immediately realized that the traffic has been very lively.<\/em>
\n09.01.1882. The exports from this place has been very great. In 1881 21 vessels were loaded with props for England and Scotland, 28 smaller ships with planks and a cargo for Denmark.<\/em>
\n15.05.1883. The shippong of lumber from Aalefj\u00e6r, which in previous years has been very significant, also in this year is at their beginning, as the 3 larger and some smaller vessels loaded with lumber for England and Denmark.<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomines and Aanens daughter Anna Emilie was born 1879 in L\u00f8msland, but when the son Sigvart was born in 1881 they had moved to \u00c5lefj\u00e6r, and Aanen built a small house on Eidet. Tomine and Aanen had six children \u2013 Emilie, Amalie, Sigvart, Alfred, Kristine and Albert. They were all born in Tveid; Anna Emilie born in L\u00f8msland, the other probably on Eidet, \u00c5lefj\u00e6r. One of the children, Kristine, born in 1888, died 21. May 1895, only 6.5 years old of \"gland disease and corrosion\" (according to the church records). Her father, Aanen died the same year as Kristine, 30. november 1895 \u2013 according to the church records as a result of the \"Inflammation in a leg\". Albert (the youngest) was born in 1891, and Emilie (the eldest) born in 1879, so Tomine was a widow with responsibility for five children from 4 to 16 years old. It can't have been easy with five kids; life was not easier after Aanen died. It is also added with pencil in the census in 1900 she was backed from the government because of poverty. It also says that she was the \"owner of the house with the property\". This house has a nice location on Eidet, but is very modest (see picture). She had to buy the house back from the state after Aanen was dead (see below). Perhaps it was Emilie who helped her mother financially; Emilie was then 17 years. Emilie was a seamstress, and worked, perhaps together with Tomine. Alfred became a farmer and shoemaker, and Albert a preacher. See more about these here<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomine bought the house back from the state in July 1896.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is mentioned an event in Tveit historical society \u00e5rsskrift no.16 (2005), where both Tomine and Emilie Aanensen is mentioned. It was signature action among women in connection with the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian union in 1905. The referendum in this connection was not really an issue for the women \u2013 they had no voting rights at that time. In 1898 when the men got the general right to vote, the proposal of female suffrage got only 33 votes, and was rejected with the reason that the women do not show sufficient interest. It was on this background an efforts to mobilize women, and in connection with the referendum in 1905, it was initiated a petition from the women, to the support of the men's votes. Both Tomine and Emilie sign this, together with 417 other women from Tveit.<\/span><\/p>\n

J\u00f8rgenstad<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Tomine Regine S\u00f8rensdtr J\u00f8rgenstad was born on J\u00f8rgenstad in 1860. J\u00f8rgenstad is located on the upper Lindesnes, and probably after name J\u00f8rgen, J\u00f8runn, e.l. The usual pronunciation is probably J\u00f8rsta. The first time we find J\u00f8rsta people in tax records is in 1594. In 1611 the farm was apparently divided into outer and inner J\u00f8rgenstad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomine was born at inner J\u00f8rgenstad, and was the daughter of S\u00f8ren Jakobsen (1834-1890) from \u00c5seral and Ingeborg Torstensdtr (1836-1905) from Vigmostad. S\u00f8ren was a farmer and carpenter, Ingeborg was weaving besides being a housewife. Tomine was the second oldest of 4 siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aanen Aanensen \u00d8idne's ancestors<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Aanen Aanensen was from Upper \u00d8idne, and was the son of Aanen Torjussen. He died 18. april 1852, a half year before his son, the great-grandfather Aanen, was born. He was buried together with his father Torjus Aanensen. What could be the reason that the father and son died at about the same time, and was buried the same day? Was it disease? Accident? The great-greatson of Aanen's twin sister Anne S\u00f8rensen (Vidar Abrahamsen) says that the story is told in the family about this, is that Torjus Aanensen died a \"natural\" death, 62 years old. The son traveled to the village to arrange the funeral, and on the way got pneumonia and died after a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were difficult times in the 1800s. Many people migrated, and some went to America. Here is a small excerpt from the book \"Kultursoga for Bjelland and Grindheim\" (Magnus Breilid), that says a lot about the difficult time. Here is specifically mentioned Grinnem, where Aanen Aanensen Upper \u00d8idne was born in 1852.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"File0016b_2\"<\/p>\n

It was really miserable conditions. The conditions were worse than in any other part of the country. At this time occurred the so-called child wandering. Several families in the interior villages to the west of Agder needed to send the oldest children to the east, to work. Here the houses were larger and the people better off. Children aged 7 to 15 years often walked 150-200 km and was away from home all summer, sometimes all the way from april to november. Many were treated as slaves and put in the hard work. Others were more fortunate.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Below is a map that shows the most famous child wanderer path \u2013 from Kvinesdal to Landvik (136 km).\u00a0The village of Konsmo is known for its many child wanderers, and\u00a0<\/span>Konsmo church<\/span> was a focal point in the spring. Here, children from the small farms in the area (probably also from \u00d8idne), met before the road went further east. <\/span>It was often cattle dealers who operated as employment services.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

The rotting crowns that the kids got in wages, was indispensable in the hard struggle for existence. Valleys is facing north-south, with the high moors between \u2013 to go across these uplands were very hard-nosed. Here<\/a><\/strong> you can read more about child wanderings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above it was mentioned that the Aanen was \"tjenestegut\" (servant) on Landvig during the census in 1875. On the basis of the map above, one can wonder why Aanen went to Landvig. This was a terminus of a known child wander path to the east. One possible explanation is that Aanen had been on the Landvig before, through child wandering, and that he as adult (in 1875) returned there because he knew there was work to get, perhaps in relation to the shipbuilding activities in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aanen began at the school in 1860:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The school protocol is scanned on the the digital archive. <\/a><\/strong>It is not possible to see from the these protocols that Aanen (or his father) had a lot of absences, which would suggest that they were child wanderers.<\/p>\n

Tosten (optional. Torsten) Olsen<\/strong><\/span>
\nAmalies great-grandfather Tosten Olsen was lease holder and lived on the outer Fjeldskaar during the census in 1865 until his death in 1881. When he settled at Fjeldskaar is unclear. What we do know, is that Tosten married in Vigmostad with Rani Asbj\u00f8rnsdtr and got 3 daughters (Sarah, Oline and Inger Marie), all was confirmed in Vigmostad \u2013 the latest in 1854. Tosten moved from Vigmostad together with his wife and three daughters to Lindesnes in 1857 (see here<\/a>). Two of the daughters married and settled in J\u00f8rgenstad. One of them, Ingeborg Tostensdtr Jakobsen, married S\u00f8ren Jakobsen in 1857 (on J\u00f8rgenstad), and these became Tomine's parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

The third of the daughters to Tosten Olsen, Oline (f. 1840), married Lars Andreas J\u00f8rgensen and lived on Fjeldskaar. Andreas got the title deed on the gnr 162, bnr 3 in 1868 (the same property as Sofie and Sigvart Aanensen later took over). Oline died only 37 years old, and it seems that Lars Andreas later moved to Aavik.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingeborg and S\u00f8ren's daughter Tomine was born on J\u00f8rgenstad in 1860. Her brother Syvert Olaus (b. 1871) had the title deed of the farm on the Fjeldskaar (g.no. 163, b.(2,3) in 1898. Olaus separated out later plot to Fjeldsk\u00e5r bedehus as a gift (see below). He married Karoline Amalie Olsdatter (b. 1873) in 1897. According to the church records Olaus lived, before they got married, on J\u00f8rgenstad, while Karoline lived in Goxem. They got the daughters Olga and Inga.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The chapel (bedehuset) was built in 1911 and it was Olaus and his twin brother Adolf, who built it. When the chapel was finished, 7 members to the board was selected; Olaus was one of them. Of those who signed the protocol in connection with the selection, were Johan Enok Villumsen (the father of Johan Cornelius) and Sigvart Aanensen (brother to the Amalie). The board had the responsibility to ensure that meetings were held. The traditional Easter meetings were well attended, and the chapel was almost too small for such gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The chapel was the major point of meetings in the village. People gathered in the chapel for funeral \u2013 before and after church. First memorial \u2013 so back to get food. Of course, there was 17.may-parties and christmas parties. The chapel was used to various activities, a.o. sewing courses, parties for fishermen, language courses, etc.<\/span><\/div>\n

Tomines elder sister, Elin Gurine (f. 1857), was married to Tobias Jansen in 1890. They had the deeds of the gnr 162 bnr 4 on Fjeldskaar (indicated by the yellow color and the red line in the figure below). There was probably here Amalie lived in her time on Fjeldskaar. In the census, is it by some names added that they are \"paid for by fattigvesenet\". If this was the case with Amalie,is not clear. Elin Gurine was widowed after her first marriage with school teacher Johan Teodor Jakobsen after only three years. They got a son in 1878; Gurine also got a son with Tobias Jansen in 1892. In the census for 1900 is stated that Tobias had temporary stay in New York city.<\/span><\/p>\n
