6) Syver Syverson Haugen - born in Lesja, Oppland, Norway

    Marit Hansdatter - born in Lesja, Oppland, Norway

I will need think of a way to continue the Norwegian line, Norway had 2 naming system:

1. Patronymics
2. Farm Names 

Sometimes both names are used and the farm name can change as they moved from place to place.
