My paternal Grandfather, Peder Arneson Haugen, left Hovet, Norway as a very young child in 1866. His father was Odney (Arne) Person Haugen, born 28 August 1829, married Jorand Persdatter lisierlert, born 1841. They were married about 1860. The Haugen farm lies in or near Holun, with Annfinnset to the south and lower Liabergstolen to the north. The first farm name used was Annfinnsethaugen, later it became Jakobshaugen for a man whose name was Jakob A. Nesteg. After this it became Haugen. This is in Hol. Hallingdal, Norway.
