Jennifer Haaland Lieder' email to Kristian Evensen 24 Jun 2012

Kristian, Do you know how long Even & Stievor lived in the little white house?


Would like to clarify what Rota is. Is that the name of the house? I am just a little confused of this. And what happened to Stievor after Nils and Signe and Edith moved to Canada?

Kristian Evensen wrote back: Rota is the name at the area,Steivor was living in the house,together with Kristian until shi died at Rota 6 Okt 1920

Kristian Evensen They lived there all the time since they move the house from Risøya,Even died there 9 Juni 1905 and Steivor 6 Okt 1920
