Lasse Sylfestson OLNES or AARVOLL

Notes:

!SO: See ORWOLL DOC `A'.
Is listed as Lasse Orwoll (Americanized) also.
Lasse was born at Olnes, but his oldest brother, Sylfest, inherited the Olnes
farm, so Lasse bought the Aarvoll farm at an auction in 1825. From the
ORWOLL DOC `A' by Milton Hackett we read, "Aarvoll was an impressive farm
estate. It extended from the water's edge inland along the slope leading to
the fjord wall." "The farm at Aarvoll remains in the possession of the
descendents of Ola Aarvoll. Now (1984) lives there Leiv Aarvoll (1933- )
the current owner, and his wife, Jorum. Their son, Jarle Leivson (1959- )
is prospective heir. He is of the fourth generation from Ola, collateral to
the fourth generation from Sylfest Orwoll. The farm is now contained within
the villiage of Sogndal and some of the land has been sold to developers.
Leiv and Jorum live in an impressive whit house built about 1925. As in the
old days, each spring the blossoms in the apple orchard continue to charm.
Seven children were born to Lasse and Sigrid. The eldest, Ola, inherited the
farm and the other six eventually migrated to America.
