Welcome
Welcome
to the English edition of the Sørensen Family pages.
We are Trygve,
Mona og Jens-Henrik Sørensen.
We are
living in Jens-Henrik's child hood home in Brønngata 6.
The
house is situated in the western part of Larvik. We have
a view to the light house at Svenner and are in a waking
distance from three beaches in a few minutes.
Jens-Henrik's ancestors have been living in the same
house since early in the sixteenth century. In 2011 we
will celebrate 300 years anniversary. Discovering this
heritage has made very interested in genealogy.
Langestrand has a central place in Norwegian history
being the central industrial iron works site since 1550
and until 1855. This gave the citizens of Langestrand
the same rights and duties as the citizens of the mining
societies at the silver mines at Kongsberg and the
copper mines of Røros during the the Norwegian union
with Denmark. |
