  Research Notes:

1. Source: Øvre Rendalen - bydebok

- in 1614, married a sister of Peder Jonson (one of the first farmers on this farm). [ but birth is about 1614 ?? ]

Jacob Breda Bull, 1916 History of Rendalen

- page 39, 40 (image 560, 2nd side, 561) of Chapter: Gaardene [ 25 Oct 2014 ]

appears to be writing about the farm Undset, and then this farm divided ????

- under farm Sørgard Undset; Rogsveen: Per Rogsveen (bruker ½ Hud 1645); Knut Mortensen (bruker ½ Hud 1664, g. m. Berger Jonsen Sørgards Datter Aasta)
- then "Sæter paa Undset" [summer pastures on Undset] for Rugsveen (Klettsæteren og Rødsjødalen) and for Øvre Rogsveen (Klettsæteren)


3. general background; Gårdshistorie, Velstu Undset

from: http://www.velstu.no/meny_1_3_00.asp

Farm history of Velstu is both old and colorful.
Undset composed before 1664 by two major farm groups, Søgard and Nordigard, and referred to in written sources back from 1510. In 1664 divided Søgard up in farms Velstu and Løvhaugen, Nordistuen, Rugsveen and Romenstad Søe and Nore.
Velstu their landlords followed historically from 1614, where the then owner Embret Eriksen owned both Velstu and neighboring farm Bakken.

- possibly Embret Eriksen's son was Ola Embretsen (born 1604) is mentioned in Jacob Bull's book (above), image 558 on 1st side close to top) and his son Nils Olsen (b 1630) BUT this doesn't correspond with the above website (point 3)

in 1666 census, page 44
Imbret Eriksen on farm S Undset, and then in second column is Imbret Eriksen, 7 aar <1659>

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Residence - 1664 and 1666, 1664-1666, Øvre Rendal, Hedmark, Norway. ¹⁰⁷¹ Knud Mortensen's residence is recorded in 1664-1666 Norway census found on Norway's Digitalarkivet. The handwriting is somewhat difficult to make out and there are some words I'm not sure. There seems to be two collections, the parish priest and the ballif. In the following I have recorded the source and links:
