Hvor er garden Skjelbrei (Stadsbygd i matrikkelutkastet av 1950)? Ingdalen?

Takk, Dennis

Hi Dennis!
There was a farm called Skjelbrei in Ingdalen, Stadsbygd before 1818. That particular year it was sold by P.J.Selmer to two brothers from Lensvik: Ole Olsen and Benjamin Singstad. Since then the property was splitted into numerous parts, all of them belonging to Lensvik kommune.
The place has been used as a saw mill (waterfalls and great timber!)and as a starting point for hunting. Skjelbrei is also the name of a lake, which is now water-reservoir for Lensvik.

Best wishes!
Stig

Tusen takk, Stig! I should have known you would have the information. I hope all is well with you, familien and your beautiful cats.

mvh, Dennis
