Chapt.  0:    Introduction to:  The families from Risa on Rennesøy.

 

Hi, my name is Nils Risa. Born on Rennesøy in 1944. I was born on Risa 4, an earlier part of the Risa 2 farmland, see Chapt. 2.

 

The main scope for this description is the families coming from the Risa farms (2 and 3), and their descendent in USA, and still on Rennesøy, up to about 1970. The occasion for this view was my family (silver wedding) trip to USA the summer of 1999, see Chapt. 9.
