Lisbeth was born at Amunderud Farm in Modum, Norway. She married Even Bjornsen Dignes and moved to Dignes Farm in Modum. Married 3/10.1726. She and Even got five children. In 1736 Even died, and she lived at Dignes until 1742. Then she married Ole Jensen Hovde 01/07/1742. (Ole born around 1678, in the church it is written, age 67 in May 1743 ), then she moved to Hovde with the children. After around 16 months marriage, Ole died.(05/12/1743). She became solo owner of Hovde Farm, and farmed Hovde until 1759. Then she split the farm in three parts. Our forefather, Christopher Evensen Hovde and his sister, Cathrine Evens-daughter (m/ Anders Christophersen) and brother Erich Evensen m/ Gundhild Evens-daughter. (same name as his sister who died as baby) Each got 7 lispund. Child number four, Karen had married the owner og Grotterud farm, Nils Christophersen Grotterud. A fifth child, Gunnhild Evens daughter, twin to Cathrine, died at Dignes seven months old. (June 24 1737 burial day) Gunnar or Gunder Evensen Dignes is half brother of Christoffer-Cathrine-Karen and Erich. Gunder Evensen Dignes, son of Even Bjørnson Dignes and Inger Ellings-daughter Klemetsen from Ringerike, took over Dignes, in 1742. After having Dignes a short time, in 1743 he traded Dignes farm and got Kjølstad farm from Truls Nielsen Kjølstad. Gunnar or Gunder Evensen (Askerud- Dignes- Kjølstad) so many name and dates has been used. Believe he is born in Jan, or Feb.-1719 and he died Jan.25-1778, burial Feb.2-1778, and in the church book for Modum, it is written, Gunner Evensen Kjølstad 59 years old. Gunnar must have been a genius when it came to business. He owned many farms in Modum. He organized timber-transport for Kongsberg silver mines, he had hundreds of people in work. It took almost 3 years to sort out his estate.
