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.

  • UNFC Case Studies from Finland/Estland, Sweden and Norway
    United Nations ECE/ENERGY/GE.3/2020/10 Economic and Social Council Distr.: General 15 April 2020 Original: English only Economic Commission for Europe Committee on Sustainable Energy Expert Group on Resource Management Eleventh session Geneva, 20-24 April 2020 Item 11 of the provisional agenda Application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) in different geographical contexts. United Nations Framework Classification for Resources Case Studies from Finland/Estland, Sweden and Norway – Nordkalk limestone and Forsand sand and gravel mines Prepared by the Geological Survey of Norway, the Geological Survey of Sweden, Nordkalk, Forsand Sandkompani and Petronavit a.s. Summary This study demonstrates how the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) is being used to classify industrial mineral extraction projects for limestone in Estland and Sweden, and for a gravel and sand project in Norway. The report summarizes the main features of UNFC before describing the Nordkalk limestone projects. These projects demonstrate the usefulness of UNFC in categorizing environmental, social economic conditions and technical feasibility that may facilitate or hamper project development. The gravel and sand project demonstrates the use of UNFC in a case with few complications. This also shows an accounting method based on a standard that is common in national statistics as well as in project management. The gravel and sand case is also used to show how a UNFC inventory built with respect for the quality requirements embedded in the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) may be translated into a CRIRSCO inventory. This allows for new UNFC accounts to be compared with existing CRIRSCO accounts and thus prevents a break in the records when going from a CRIRSCO standard to the UNFC standard ECE/ENERGY/GE.3/2020/10 Contents Page I.

  • 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.

  • Det-Norske-Myrselskap-1949
    MEDDELELSER FRA DET NORSl(E MYRSELSl(AP Nr. 6 Desember 1949 47. årgang Redigert av Aasulv Løddesøl. MYRENE I KYSTHERREDENE I NORD-ROGALAND. Av konsulent Ose. Hovde. Nord-Rogaland er vanlig benevnelse for den del av Rogala,nd fylke som ligger nord for Boknafjorden. De typiske kystherreder i Nord-Rogaland - regnet nordfra -- er følgende 8: Skåre, Torvastad, Avaldsnes, Utsira, Åkra, Stangaland, Skudenes og Bokn. Innen dette kystområde ligger også 3 bykommuner, nemlig Haugesund, Kopervik og Skudeneshavn. Nærmere geografisk bestemt ligger disse herreder mellom 59°08' og 59°31' nordlig bredde og mellom 5~10' og 6° vestlig lengde (Oslo meridian). Herredenes totalareal er 407,96 km2 og land• arealet 392,02 km2• Av hele Rogaland fylke utgjør dette område 4,50 %. Det meste av Skåre og Avaldsnes herreder med Haugesund by og en mindre del av Torvastad ligger på fastland (Haugalandet), men for øvrig ligger de andre herreder på øyer. Den største av disse er Karmøya. Her ligger de tre herreder Skudenes, Akra og Stanga• land i sin helhet og dessuten det meste av Torvastad og en del av Avaldsnes. Her er dessuten de to bykommuner Kopervik og Skude·• neshavn. Karmøya er således Norges folkerikeste og tettest bebodde øy. Bokn herred ligger på flere øyer øst for Karmøya, og Utsira her• red ligger langt ute i havet (16 km) rett vest av Karmøya, Kommunikasjonene innen området er stort sett gode, men den svære trafikk over Karmsundet ·gjør krav om bru eller bedre ferje• forbindelse berettiget. Ruten på Karmøya trafikeres med busser av Norges Statsbaner. F j e 11 grunnen innen området består stort sett av 3 temmelig skarpt atskilte områder.
