Genealogy

This and the following pages are about the the Sørensen family and their roots. I have chosen to present the family history three ways.

One branch is related to the the family home at Brønngata 6 at Langestrand. A building that has been in the family since 1711.

The Family tree covers the ancestors going back to Ole Anunsøn at Tvedalen in Brunlanes and to Tyge Andersen of Brønngata and their related families.

The name Røsserne is from the farm of my four times great grand mother Sara Jacobsdatter Røsserød. This farms is situated in Brunlanes about 10 minutes drive from my home.

The three other farms are related to my mothers side of the family and they are located in the old communities of Tjølling, Sandar and Lardal. Tjølling has has been annexed by Larvik and Sandar is now a part of Sandefjord.
