.. birth and death dates from .... from Engerdal, vol 1, page 86
... under the first family grouping, #5, the following [after the names etc]
"He [ie, Gjermund, b abt 1730] was nicknamed Rik-Gjermund, and is probably the twin brother of number 4, Ola. The Ola that they thought the underground* had taken, was supposed to be 5-6 years old and was probably born sometime in the 1750s. The sister who slept with him in the barn, had not noticed anything, it is said"
* underground - in Norwegian, the word is "underjordiske" ... goolge translate of 'underground' does make sense, but in Einar Haugen's dictionary - the word refers to "underworld where gnomes, goblins live"
