I read your posting with great interest as I have Tobiassens' from Lyngdal also.But my Tobiassens' started out in Lyngdal, Vest-Agder, and then moved to Fjeare, near Grimstad, in Aust-Agder. Are you sure your Lyngdal was in Aust-Agder? In my Tobiasens', there is a recurrance of the names Reinert and Reinertsen. If you have some more info,let me know. If we match,I'll be happy to share what I have. On Even Arnesen, do you know where he was born? I also have one in my line, but from the Notteroy area, and he would be further back in your line. Let me know what ypu have,and if I can,I'll be happy to help. Joan
