Description
Our fathers family comes from the south-eastern part of Norway, in Østfold. The farm Botner is named after the landscape in its near suroundings, consisting of various small hills. It is derived from the norwegian word "Botn", which aproximately means "(valley) bottom" (maybe no coincidence, the vikings made various lasting influences to the english language). The farm was sold out of the family in the 1940's. Modern map of the Østfold. Skiptvedt is west of the river Glomma. It is aproximately a one hour drive from Oslo.Map of the Skiptvedt parish, from 1775. The river Glomma to the right. The "Botner" farm can be seen in the midle left part of the picture.
