NINTH GENERATION

300. Helge Knudsen RØNNEVIK/TYSVÆR ⁽⁵¹⁰⁾⁽⁵¹¹⁾ was born in 1685 in Rønnevik, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway. He died about 1754. Helge leased Tysvær Farm B in 1706 and had served 12 year(s) as a soldier before 1718. In 1723 he had the half of the farm and raised a horse, 10 heifers and 12 sheep. He sowed 5 barrels of grain and harvested 30 barrels, which is 6 fold. (See the book,"Ætt of Heim" or Family and Home, 1981, p. 175f, for the settlement of the estate.) In 1748 the family moved to Syre in Karmøy and to lease another farm. Here their son Lars was born in 1728. The son Lars took over this farm in 1750. (Tysvær bygdebok)
He and his wife lived at Tysvær in 1711 then Helge was "enroulleret" ("enrolled"). He was probably the brother of Brita Knutsdt., who then lived at the home farm "Rønvig" and was married to Johannes Larsen. They had the same the farm which Knut had in 1701. In 1737 Helge Tysvær got the deed from Peder Hesthammer for 4 speciedaler (old currency) k. in Svineli. Then it is believed that he self owned 4 speciedaler (old currency) in Svineli and 4 speciedaler (old currency) in Grinde. On 22 Dec 1741 got Helge got the deed from Villum Knutsen at 2 speciedaler (old currency) k. in Evje and from Lars Larsen at 2 speciedaler (old currency) in N. Svineli. It can look out which that this has some with inheritance to make --- maybe brorpartar and søsterpartar. But it can and be phrase for faculty and will to collect(ed) estate. Upon distribution of the estate after the son Knut was the estate became 12 speciedaler (old currency) k. in Svineli and 24 speciedaler (old currency) a Grinde. --- a Skøyte (The deed?) and a probate in 1754 cast a light over who which is children to Helge. There is mentioned 3 brorpartar and 3 søsterpartar and 6 speciedaler (old currency) wife. (= 1 v.k.). (Ætt og Heim 1981) He was married to Inger (Inga) Larsdtr. SVINALI NEDRA.
