his son was Torber Jonsen on the northern side of Svukuriset who became permanent resident all year round in Svukuriset, nordre. It appears that Torber had bought the south Svukuriset from his first cousin, Ole Eriksen Langen who moved the farm Sylen around 1870 when his wife, Ingri Mikkelsdatter Sylen's brother Lars Mikkelson [Syl] (b 1830) left Norway for North America

Ole Eriksen Langen and family continued to live at Sylen.

Torber Jonsen and family lived at Svukuriset, and Torber's son, Ole Torbersen who was married to Rakel Matea Torbersdatter from Frøya, b. 1867. Around 1900 they sold the farm to the Sami Daniel Mortensson who had started reindeer herding in the Femundsfjella mountains. He came from Jemtland, and later Daniel Mortensson sold the farm to the shipowner Milberg,.

Jon married Dordi Torbersdatter. (Dordi Torbersdatter was born in 1783 in Røros, Sør Trondelag, Norway and died in 1865 in Røros, Sør Trondelag, Norway.)
