TENTH GENERATION


600. Knut Knutsen RØNNEVIK (646) (647) was born in 1636 in Rønnevik, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway. [Slooper book has birth in 1630.] He died before 1701 in Rønnevik, Tysvær, Rogaland, Norway. He is called "Unge" (young) Knut in old records. He apparently lived on the old Rønnevik "farm B" for awhile and was there in 1666 when he was 30 years old. He probably then moved to the home farm (farm A, the "diocese's land") and took it over when his father died. Records indicate that his widow had farm A in 1701. He was married. Children were:

She married Johannes Larsen (b. 1688, d. 1748) from the lower part (Nedre) Svinali in Skjold. "He took over the farm in 1702 and is mentioned 1718. Then he had no son. He moved probably back home, I find him at Svinali in 1723." (Tysvær vol. 1) However, Tysvær Vol 4 indicates that Johannes had 4 children with Brita, 2 of these being males (Knut b. 1713 & Lars b. 1719). After Brita died, Johannes married twice more and he apparently did live in Svinali Nedra as well as Aksdal in addition to Rønnevik. Johannes was the older brother of Inger who married Brita's older brother Helge.
