He lived in different places in Vang before he settled in Ljøsno under Tveit around 1860. Frøholm writes that he had built a cabin on Slettefjell where he tended sheep in the fall. He broke into Mugnadstølen and stole butter.

A poem was composed about him: "Han Anfinn og han Ola i Bakka efter Tjuve-bruna lokka" He was divorced around 1845. After that he lived with Guri Sjugurdsdtr Remmisbrekkun and had five children with her.

In 1864 he traveled to America with his son Torstein, the documents also state that the eldest son Ola was involved, but in the census in 1865 he is listed with his grandfather.

It is possible that he joined his mother, who traveled in 1865 with his daughters and youngest son. When Guri left, their house burned down. It was called "Hell" and people then said that when "Fa'n" raised fire Hell. (After Frøholm).

Anfinn was later married and divorced and had a son Ola in 1853 with Guri Sjugurdsdatter Remmisbrekka. Ola was also with his grandfather in the 1865 census. After a time he was in Ljøsne in Tveidt.
