    Notes:

    Vang C, p. 425-426. Contrast this with the entry on p. 330 of Vang A. Apparently, even to the author of the bygdeboks, there is confusion about whether “Holien” refers to Høle (Holin) 18/ or Hålie 109/.

    Notes:

    There is some confusion about this person. Some reputable sources have him as the son of Ole Tostensen Kvåle (#24448) and Margrethe Knudsdatter. That is incorrect. It’s true that that couple had a son Tosten born about this time but that Tosten Olsen died in infancy.
