The parents / Foreldrene
1896 – All the children at Storakeren / Alle barne på Storåkeren
This picture has hung on the wall in the attic at Storakeren as long as I can remember. It shows all the children at Storakeren – both the Kristensen-children and the Eriksen-children. Ovidia Kristensen and Hans Peter Eriksen were sibling, so the children in the two houses were cousins.
Dette bildet har hengt på loftet på Storåkeren så lenge jeg kan huske. Det viser alle barna på Storåkeren – både Kristensen-barna og Eriksen-barna. Ovidia Kristensen og Hans Peter Eriksen var søsken, slik at barna i de to husene var søskenbarn.
You can read about the Eriksen children on this page, and the Kristensen children on the Kristensen page.
Du kan lese om alle Kristensen-barna på denne siden, og om Kristensen-barna på Kristensen-siden.
