  	dwfrench1 says 1698 on Garstad
  Notes	He had two daughters named Barbro. The bygdebok (Vang C, p. 304) provides no help in distinguishing the two in age or even providing a year of birth. All we have to go by is which of the two was listed first and which of the two was designated heir. And these two distinctions do not point to the same Barbro. The estimable dwfrench1 has concluded that the older one, which he shows as born in about 1664, was the heir and became the husband of Gullik Thomasen Kvien. This Barbro, however, is not the first Barbro listed in the children of Embrik Bjornsson on Vang C, p. 304. If the older Barbro was born in ca 1664, then the older Barbro would be closer in age to Gullik and the younger Barbro, who we’re reasonable sure was born in about 1673 (a point agreed upon by Jim Ellingboe and dwfrench1), would be closer in age to her assigned husband, Steffan Torgeirsen. All of this reasoning is the basis for what is shown here. Basically, we’re assuming that dwfrench1 has correctly figured this out. Jim’s notes: Embrik was fined 6 rds in 1655-56 for rape (legal case) against Anne, before they were married. In 1658-59 he was fined because he refused to transport some people and in 1660 he was knifed by Jon Myre, but survived. Garstad is a very old farm. Inge is mentioned as a tenant on the farm in 1343. This is one of the few vangsocking mentioned in documents from before 1500. It says that a man called Arne was present at Inge's wedding at Stee, this year, "a Stædi i bridelaupi Inga a Gardzstadum". After this, not many names of users before Embrik are known, but it is not unlikely that the farm has been in the same family until Emrik's time.
