  • Norwegian Surnames in America
    Norwegian Surnames in America Surnames During the Immigration Period From 1825, the year of the first organized Norwegian immigration to the USA on the sloop Restauration, until the beginning of the next century, about 900,000 Norwegians immigrated to America. For most of them, the destination was the USA. During the 1800s , most Norwegians did not have a set surname. They had a given name (Anna, Knut), which was their actual name, and a patronymic, which consisted of the father’s name and the suffix son/sen (English son) as in Knut Andersen or dotter/datter (English daughter) as in Anna Larsdatter. This name provided information as to whose daughter or son the person was. If the individual lived on a farm, the name of the farm was added to the two previous names, more like an address than a surname. In an official document the name might look like this: Anna Larsdatter Helland, i.e. Anna is the daughter of Lars and lives on the farm Helland. Among the gentry during the 1800s, it had become customary to have a set surname. Gradually, society was becoming more organized with a growing bureaucracy, which put demands on a more dependable system for identifying its citizens, but it wasn’t until 1923 that the Norwegian Parliament, Stortinget, passed a law requiring all Norwegians to take a set surname or family name. When emigrants were registered on departure from Norway, and on their entry into America, they needed to have a surname. The choice of name could vary a great deal within a family, and it could also be changed during the first decades in the new country.

Utsira kommune er nå med på alle listene. Oppsummering Helsedirektoratet anbefaler iverksettelse av tiltak i samsvar med covid-19-forskriften kapittel 5A for kommunene Haugesund, Karmøy, Tysvær, Vindafjord, Bokn, Sveio og Utsira. Tiltakene anbefales iverksatt fra 16.3.2021 kl. 24.00. Kommunene har alle gjennomført lokale situasjonsvurderinger, og ønsker tiltak i tråd med covid-19 forskriften kapittel 5A. Folkehelseinstituttet mener det er behov for tiltak på et særlig høyt tiltaksnivå i kommuner som har en raskt økende smittetrend, og behov for å følge opp med tiltak som begrenser kontakt over kommunegrensene i nabokommuner med tett kontakt gjennom pendling og sosiale og kulturelle aktiviteter. Kommunene må til enhver tid konkret vurdere behovet for lokale råd og tiltak, og for samordning av tiltak for å redusere mobiliteten på tvers av kommunene. Vi anbefaler at det gjøres en ny vurdering av behovet for regional samordning og av forholdsmessigheten i tiltakene innen 11.4 2021, eventuelt behov for lemping av tiltakene vurderes løpende frem til denne datoen. Vennlig hilsen Johan Georg Røstad Torgersen

  • Homogenization of Norwegian Monthly Precipitation Series for the Period 1961-2018
    No. 4/2021 ISSN 2387-4201 METreport Climate Homogenization of Norwegian monthly precipitation series for the period 1961-2018 Elinah Khasandi Kuya, Herdis Motrøen Gjelten, Ole Einar Tveito METreport Title Date Homogenization of Norwegian monthly 2021-04-30 precipitation series for the period 1961-2018 Section Report no. Division for Climate Services No. 4/2021 Author(s) Classification Elinah Khasandi Kuya, Herdis Motrøen Gjelten, ● Free ○ Restricted Ole Einar Tveito Abstract Climatol homogenization method was applied to detect inhomogeneities in Norwegian precipitation series, during the period 1961-2018. 370 series (including 44 from Sweden and one from Finland) of monthly precipitation sums, from the ClimNorm precipitation dataset were used in the analysis. The homogeneity analysis produced a 58-year long homogenous dataset for 325 monthly precipitation sum with regional temporal variability and spatial coherence that is better than that of non-homogenized series. The dataset is more reliable in explaining the large-scale climate variations and was used to calculate the new climate normals in Norway. Keywords Homogenization, climate normals, precipitation Disciplinary signature Responsible signature 2 Abstract Climate normals play an important role in weather and climate studies and therefore require high-quality dataset that is both consistent and homogenous. The Norwegian observation network has changed considerably during the last 20-30 years, introducing non-climatic changes such as automation and relocation. Homogenization was therefore necessary and work has been done to establish a homogeneous precipitation reference dataset for the purpose of calculating the new climatological standard normals for the period 1991-2020. The homogenization tool Climatol was applied to detect inhomogeneities in the Norwegian precipitation series for the period 1961-2018.

Formannskapet- 112/16, har gjort følgjande vedtak i saka: Finnøy kommune støtter den struktur som politimeistaren legg fram. Nærpolitireforma har avgrensa konsekvensar for Finnøy kommune og Ryfylkeøyane lensmannsdistrikt. Distriktet vil i framtida fortsetja den drifta som er i dag. Politimeistaren legg i sitt forslag til grunn at 95 % av innbyggjarane skal nå ei tenesteeining innan 45 minutt kjøretid. Det er ikkje tilfelle med Ryfylkeøyane lensmannskontor der fleire av øyane i Finnøy kommune ikkje er landfaste, og dermed er avhengige av ferje/båt for å nå lensmannskontoret. Det gjeld òg for lensmannskontoret sjølv som må bruke ferje/båt når dei skal rykke ut, og til tider vil få ei lang responstid då dei er avhengige av ferje. Finnøy kommune vil sterkt oppfordra til at det vert sett inn ein politibåt som har fast plassering på Judaberg i tilknyting til lensmannskontoret, både til fordel for innbyggjarane knytt til Ryfylkeøyane lensmannskontor og for lensmannskontoret sjølv.

  • 23 the Raised Stones
    Dagfinn Skre 23 The Raised Stones The spectacular raised stone north of the St Óláfr’s Church at Avaldsnes, the so called Jomfru Marias synål (Virgin Mary’s Sewing Needle), is the most prominent preserved prehistoric mon- ument at the site. Before its height was reduced c. 1840 from approximately 8.3 metres to the present 7.2 metres, it was the tallest in Scandinavia – the others rarely surpass 5 metres. A similar stone, about 6.9 metres tall, is known to have stood on the southern side of the church until the early 19th century. A 12th–15th-century runic inscription on one of the two stones was described in 1639 but has not been identified since. The stones were mentioned by Snorri in Heimskringla, and have received copious scholarly attention from the 17th century on- wards. In this chapter, the existing evidence is reassessed, and the original number of raised stones at Avaldsnes, their sizes, and the location of the runic inscription are discussed. With the aim of arriving at a probable date and original number of stones, the monument is compared to stone settings in the same region and elsewhere in Scandinavia. It is concluded that the runic inscription was likely incised on the southern stone, which was severely damaged in 1698 and finally was taken down in the early 19th century. Probably, the two existing stones were originally corners in a triangular stone setting – a monument of the 3rd–6th centuries AD. An assumed third stone would have stood in the southeast and would probably have been removed prior to the mid-17th century, possibly around 1300 when masonry buildings were erected there.

  • Naturtypekartlegging I Vindafjord Kommune Eydis Dalen
    Føreord Det å vera ute i naturen, sjå mangfaldet og oppleva den på sitt beste, er noko av det eg set aller høgast. Når eg fekk moglegheita til å gjera naturtypekartlegging i heimkommunen min var det lett å velja det som tema for masteroppgåva. Det er mange personar som skal takkast i samband med denne oppgåva. Først ei takk til Audun Steinnes, hos fylkesmannen i Rogaland, som let meg få starta på dette prosjektet utan å ha altfor mykje erfaring med kartlegging frå tidlegare. Takk til John Bjarne Jordal, Geir Gaarder og John Inge Johnsen som tok meg med på naturtypekartlegging nokre dagar i mai 2009. Dette var svært lærerikt og interessant, og ikkje minst ei god erfaring før eg skulle ut å kartlegga område på eiga hand. Ei ekstra takk til John Bjarne Jordal som tok seg tid til å vera med på kartlegging av beitemarkssopp ei helg i september. Du har også medverka med gode råd og tips til både avgrensing og verdsetjing av lokalitetar, artsbestemming av sopp og korleis skrive ei god skildring av lokalitetane. Takk til Anne Sofie Sandvik i Vindafjord kommune, som på meisterleg vis klara å gje meg eit lynkurs i GIS og karthandtering via telefon, i tillegg til hjelp med GPS-punkt ”på ville vegar”. Takk til Gitte Halvorsen, som også arbeidar i Vindafjord kommune, for tips til interessante lokalitetar, lån av GPS og oppmuntring på vegen. Ei stor takk til Sigmund Hågvar som rettleiar for oppgåva. Takk for gode råd, støtte og tips til oppgåveløysing og utføring. Ei stor takk til alle vener og kjende som har lese korrektur, hjulpe til med småting eller rett og slett passa på at eg har fått i meg nok mat.
