THE ANASON FAMILY IN ROGALAND COUNTY, NORWAY AND JUNEAU COUNTY, WISCONSIN BY LAWRENCE W. ONSAGER THE LEMONWEIR VALLEY PRESS Berrien Springs, Michigan and Mauston, Wisconsin 2013 ANASON FAMILY INTRODUCTION The Anason family has its roots in Rogaland County, in western Norway. Western Norway is the area which had the greatest emigration to the United States. The County of Rogaland, formerly named Stavanger, lies at Norway’s southwestern tip, with the North Sea washing its fjords, beaches and islands. The name Rogaland means “the land of the Ryger,” an old Germanic tribe. The Ryger tribe is believed to have settled there 2,000 years ago. The meaning of the tribal name is uncertain. Rogaland was called Rygiafylke in the Viking age. The earliest known members of the Anason family came from a region of Rogaland that has since become part of Vest-Agder County.

Et kort tilbakeblikk I kommuneproposisjonen 2015 til Stortinget ble landets kommuner invitert til å delta i prosesser med sikte på å vurdere og avklare om det er aktuelt å slå seg sammen med nabokommuner. I 2014 nedsatte Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet et ekspertutvalg ledet av Signy Vabo for å utrede kriterier for god kommunestruktur. Utvalget identifiserte samfunnsmessige hensyn som skulle ivaretas i kommunenes oppgaveløsning og foreslo spesifikke kriterier for en god kommunestruktur. I 2015 ble det utarbeidet en rapport av Agenda Kaupang som så på muligheten for en storkommune på Haugalandet. Rapporten vurderte konsekvensene av en sammenslåing av kommunene Sveio, Tysvær, Karmøy og Haugesund og konkluderte bl.a. med at: En ytre Haugalandet kommune kan legge til rette for en mer samordnet mobilisering av utviklings- og plankompetanse for å påvirke utviklingen i hele regionen. Et felles kommunestyre med en felles fagadministrasjon kan se de ulike delene av regionen i sammenheng, med sikte på tilrettelegging for boliger, næringsarealer, jordbruk, grøntområder, kultur og idrett, tettstedsutvikling og infrastruktur. En sammenslutning kan motvirke suboptimalisering og lokal konkurranse, og legge grunnlag for at de ulike stedene og kvalitetene i utredningsregionen utfyller hverandre. Én kommune vil gi likeartet saksbehandling og regelpraktisering i kommunene og gi like rammebetingelser for næringsvirksomhet.

  • Western Karmøy, an Integral Part of the Precambrian Basement of South Norway
    WESTERN KARMØY, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PRECAMBRIAN BASEMENT OF SOUTH NORWAY TOR BIRKELAND Birkeland, T.: Western Karmøy, an integral part of the Precambrian basement of south Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 55, pp. 213-241. Oslo 1975. Geologically, the western side of Karmøy differs greatly from the eastern one, but has until recently been considered to be contemporaneous with the latter, i.e. of Caledonian age and origin. The rocks of western Karmøy often have a distinctly granitoid appearance, but both field geological studies and labora­ tory work indicate that most of them are in fact metamorphosed arenaceous rudites which have been subjected to strong regional metamorphism under PT conditions that correspond to the upper stability field of the amphibolite facies, whereas the Cambro-Ordovician rocks of the Haugesund-Bokn area to the east have been metamorphosed under the physical conditions of the green­ schist facies. From the general impression of lithology, structure, and meta­ morphic grade, the author advances the hypothesis that the rocks of western Karmøy should be related to a Precambrian event rather than to rock-forming processes that took place during the Caledonian orogeny. T. Birkeland, Liang 6, Auklend, 4000 Stavanger, Norway. Previous investigations The first detailed description of the rocks of western Karmøy was given by Reusch in his pioneer work from 1888. Discussing the mode of development of these rocks, he seems to have inclined to the opinion that the so-called 'quartz augen gneiss' and the other closely related rocks represent regionally metamorphosed clastic sediments. Additional information of the rocks con­ cerned is found in his paper from 1913.
