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.

  • Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar Og Sveio
    Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar og Sveio Av Knut Vareide og Veneranda Mwenda Telemarksforsking-Bø Arbeidsrapport 35/2007 ____________________Næringsanalyse Stord, Fitjar og Sveio_____________ Forord Denne rapporten er laget på oppdrag fra SNU AS. Hensikten var å få fram utviklingen i næringslivet i kommunene Stord, Fitjar og Sveio. Telemarksforsking-Bø har i de siste årene publisert næringsNM for regioner, hvor vi har rangert næringsutviklingen i regionene i Norge. I dette arbeidet er det konstruert en næringslivsindeks basert på fire indikatorer: Lønnsomhet, vekst, nyetableringer og næringstetthet. Oppdragsgiver ønsket å få belyst utviklingen av næringslivsindeksen og delindikatorene for de tre aktuelle kommunene. Når det gjelder indikatorene for vekst og lønnsomhet, er disse basert på regnskapene til foretakene. Disse er tilgjengelige i september i det etterfølgende året. Dermed er det tallene for 2005 som er benyttet i næringslivsindeksen i denne rapporten. Vi har likevel tatt med tall for nyetableringer i 2006 i denne rapporten, ettersom disse er tilgjengelige nå. I næringslivsindeksen er det imidlertid etableringsfrekvensen for 2005 som er telt med.
