However, we have made some research, and in the local history book or “bygdebok” by Petrus Valand and Olav Heskestad: “Hetland skipreide i 450 år”, volume 1 (1971), we have found information on the farm Helleren in Heskestad in Lund municipality (kommune), Rogaland county (fylke).

According to the “bygdebok” Ole Toresen Helleren was born on 12 December 1824, and he came from the farm Revsland. On 27 June 1853 he married the widow Anne Tønnesdatter Helleren, cf. the marriage rercord in parish register for Lund/Heskestad (no 3) www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20051212050275.jpg.

Anne Tønnesdatter’s first husband was Asbjørn Børildsen Helleren, and according to the “bygdebok” they married in Sokndal. They had three children: Børild, Tønnes and Lisabeth. Anne Tønnesdatter was born 11 June 1820 in Sokndal (former: Sogndal), cf. (no 28) www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070625630649.jpg. Her parents were Tønnes Jakobsen and Anne Sofie Jonsdatter Hetleskog (former: Hetleskou).

We have found the birth and baptism record for Theodor Olsen Helleren from 1861 in the digitised parish register for Lund/Heskestad, cf. (no 5) www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061121020356.jpg. Theodor Olsen had two elder sisters, Ingeborg Tobine, born 1854 in Heskestad, cf. (no 7):
www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061121020325.jpg, and Alette Johanne, born 1856, cf. (no 2): www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061121020330.jpg. There were also two elder brothers called Theodor, born in 1857 and 1859, but they both died as very small.

Here is the death record for Ole Toresen Helleren from 1861, which tells that he was killed by a blasting shot (“Dræbt ved en Mineskud” – written in Danish), cf. digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgiwin/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=79&filnamn=gr11131854b&gardpostnr=161&personpostnr=162&merk=162#ovre and the digitised parish register (no 6) http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061121020587.jpg.

In 1865 census for Sokndal we have found Theodor Olsen on the farm Eia, cf.:  http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgiwin/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=65&filnamn=f61111&gardpostnr=485&personpostnr=2936&merk=2936#ovre. The census tells that Theodor was the foster child to Siri Tønnesdatter and Tobias Larsen. Siri Tønnesdatter was 47 years old in 1865, and in the parish register for Sokndal we have found the birth and baptism record for Siri, born on 21 June 1818, cf. www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070625630633.jpg. Siri’s father was Tønnes Jakobsen Hetleskog. The mother’s patronymic is written Iversdatter, but we suggest that Siri is the sister to Anne Tønnesdatter, born 1820, since the farm name “Hetleskou” is the same in the birth and baptism records.

Theodor Olsen married Berte Guri Pedersdatter in Heskestad in 1882, cf. (no 5) www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20061121020571.jpg. We have found the butcher (slakteren) Theodor Eia in the 1900 census for Sokndal, cf.: digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgiwin/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=3&filnamn=f01107&gardpostnr=60&personpostnr=252&merk=252#ovre.

We enclose scanned copies of the “bygdebok” with information on the farms  Helleren and Revsland, including the ancestry of Ole Toresen / Torsen Helleren.
