Thank you Liv Andersen2, I'm very familiar with Sykkylven, in Ørskog, Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. Most of my father's family is from this area. Family search as one of the farm names as Grefstad, but it's actually Grebstad, as this was my Grandfather's name when he immigrated to the USA. Also the whole family uses Grebstad. My Grandfather changed his name to Grevstad, and this is what I inherited.\
Initially, one of his ancestors was from the farm Aursnes. I had the hardest time finding it. Family search said it is in a different part of Møre og Romsdal county. And yes there is a farm name Aursnes there too. But my family is from Sykkylven area. So after consulting second cousin's in Norway, I was able to find the farm Aursnes in Sykkylven area. Family Search has it written as Ørsnes farm. Yet all handwritten records that I have found in the digital archives up to the 1860's so far has the name written as Aursnes. And as a side note, it's family tradition that this is the farm that the actor, James Arnes and his brother Peter Graves grandfather was born. Their grandfather is also one of my ancestors. I haven't gone down that family yet. I'm still working on the one in this question. But she is part of this family.
It's fun because of my questions that I couldn't find answers to on the Digital Archives, or on Family Search, I searched Facebook for relatives of my father that still live in Sykkylven. I found them, and have been having fun getting to know my second cousins in Norway. They are so excited too because, they lost contact with the family who moved to the USA. That was my Grandpa.
I appreciate all your support in helping me with this research.
Thanks,
Anne Elizabeth Grevstad-Lund
