Øren Br.2

The name was written Ørne 1603, Ørenn 1611, Ørnen 1666 and Øhren 1723. Øren is not mentioned before 1603, but already in 1611 this is one of the largest farms. The first we know of here is Eirik. He was here from 1601 to 1611. Then we find Lars here, from 1611 until 1635. After him we find Kristoffer here, from 1635 until his death in 1663. Then we have Eirik Nilson here, from 1664 to at least 1683. Then there were two users at the same time, Sjur and Johannes. Sjur for a short period, but Johannes was here until 1696, when there was a new owner. His name was Jon Jørgenson Eide. Jon was born 1674 and was married to Ragnhild Lægreid. They had 7 children. Jon died in 1727. Their son Jørgen then got this farm. Jørgen Jonson was born in 1702 and married in 1727 with Gro Olsdtr Hæreid. Jørgen died in 1771 and Gro in 1775. They had 7 children. Their son Jon then got this farm. Jon Jørgenson was born in 1737 and married in 1761 with Ranveig Helgesdtr Hæreid. They had 4 children. Jon gave half the farm to his son Jørgen in 1783, and the other half to his son Helge in 1788. We continue with Helges part, br 2. Helge Jonson was born 1768 and married in 1793 with Inga Olsdtr Hæreid. They had 9 children. Helge died in 1827 and Inga in 1855. Their son Ola then got the farm. Ola Helgeson was born in 1803 and married in 1832 with Bertha Jensdtr Prestegaard. They had 6 children. Ola had this farm until 1851, when his son Helge got it.
